In the Web3 world, users' biggest concerns are nothing more than a few points: projects being attacked, private keys being mishandled, assets wiped out overnight. These fears are not unfounded, but it is worth considering that in the current crypto ecosystem, projects that are truly difficult to attack may be those that adopt distributed infrastructure. This is not achieved through technical stacking alone, but through carefully designed rule systems.

The security approach of traditional internet is like building a "castle"—high walls, moats, layered defenses. As long as an attacker finds a crack, the entire defense line could collapse. The logic of distributed projects is completely opposite. Imagine a "swarm" composed of thousands of independent nodes worldwide—no central server, no single point of failure. Any malicious actor wanting to succeed must deceive the vast majority of validators who do not know each other and have different interests, all at the same time, with the same lie. The difficulty is not in the technical aspect but in the sociological and economic aspects—an almost impossible task.

Even more interesting is the economic incentive design. Node operators need to stake a large amount of assets to gain validation rights. Once misconduct is confirmed, the staked assets are immediately confiscated. This is like putting a bomb on each gatekeeper—malicious behavior will directly destroy their own wealth. The cost of attempting to attack the network instantly becomes astronomical because you must not only break through the technical defenses but also contend with a defense system driven by economic interests.

This design turns security from passive defense into active deterrence. Hackers are not unable to attack, but the gains from attacking can never outweigh the costs.
