The co-founder of OpenZeppelin, Manuel Araoz, has admitted that he no longer considers DeFi safe and is pulling his family's funds even from titans like Aave and MakerDAO — this is the loudest existential wake-up call for the entire industry. When the head of a company that literally wrote the security standards for Ethereum smart contracts throws in the towel, it's time for the market to take off the rose-colored glasses. Against the backdrop of recent hacks and a decline in DeFi's TVL by over $20 billion since the start of the year, this warning is a hard bearish factor for yield farming and liquid staking. Capital will begin to preemptively flow from complex DeFi matryoshkas into 'clean' native HODL BTC and ETH on cold wallets, and the survival of protocols will now depend on the implementation of total real-time AI monitoring
