Why Point-in-Time Security Audits Fail DeFi Protocols
2025 losses exceeded $3.4B, with access control failures driving 59% of losses in H1 2025.
Point-in-time audits treat security as a scheduled event. That model breaks once code changes, integrations shift, and adversaries start testing assumptions in production. This ebook explains why audits miss what matters post-launch, then lays out the lifecycle model that connects development, pre-launch review, and post-launch protection so security work compounds instead of resetting every release.

What You’ll get:
- Why point-in-time audits fail in practice: assumption drift, changing integrations, and bugs introduced after the audit window closes.
- The lifecycle model: what “development → pre-launch review → post-launch protection” actually looks like for a protocol team.
- How to apply it: where AI reviews fit, where humans still matter, and how to keep security work connected across releases.
