The standard pattern in the crypto industry is reactive, going through a pre-launch audit, post-deployment monitoring, response when funds move, a post-mortem on the method, vulnerability patching, reimbursement negotiation, and governance debate. That model has the weakness that the bug comes to light only once the capital has alrea
