Polygon Labs' two-team security structure: where most Web3 breaches actually start | Mudit Gupta

ZK infrastructure carries more bugs than the smart contract layer — and the only thing preventing large-scale exploits is that the number of people capable of executing them is countable on two hands.

ZK infrastructure carries more bugs than the smart contract layer — and the only thing preventing large-scale exploits is that the number of people capable of executing them is countable on two hands. Mudit Gupta, CTO of Polygon Labs, makes the case for why that gap is the most underestimated risk in Web3 right now.He also breaks down the two-team security structure most protocols are missing, what a near 10x spike in bug bounty submissions since August reveals about how AI audits code differently than humans, and why his team had to build a counter-AI triaging agent just to keep up with volume.
