With the recent debacle of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and the crypto trading company Alameda Research, the importance of comprehending the security and regulations of Web3, cryptocurrency, and blockchain projects has been magnified. To avoid similar economic and security failures in future Web3 projects, the book provides an essential guide that offers a comprehensive and systematic approach to addressing security concerns.
