The $3 Billion Problem: How Adrien Resch Is Reinventing Web3 Security for a Safer Future | S5 E17
Manage episode 480053466 series 3345247
Trust is the invisible infrastructure that modern digital economies depend on, yet the Web3 space continues to struggle with a reputation crisis fueled by high-profile hacks, scams, and exploits. Adrien Resch, co-founder of AuditOne and Safura, is methodically addressing this challenge by building what he describes as "a solid trust layer for the decentralized world."
The security ecosystem Adrien and his team have developed goes far beyond traditional smart contract audits. While audits remain a cornerstone of pre-deployment security, AuditOne differentiates itself through a global network of specialized auditors who bring targeted expertise to each project. This distributed approach solves a fundamental problem in blockchain security—the impossibility of mastering every programming language, protocol architecture, and vulnerability type that exists across rapidly evolving ecosystems.
What truly sets this security approach apart is its holistic nature. Post-deployment bug bounties incentivize ethical hackers to continuously test protocols, while Safura's asset coverage provides practical protection for users' digital assets. For just 2-5% of asset value, users can secure their investments against hacks and exploits—an insurance-like model that offers peace of mind when yields on DeFi protocols commonly reach 15-20%.
The recently launched risk assessment agent represents perhaps the most forward-thinking element of the ecosystem. By continuously monitoring projects for security issues, liquidity changes, and other risk factors, the agent provides real-time scoring that helps users make informed decisions. This proactive approach moves beyond reactive security measures toward a dynamic risk management system that could fundamentally change how users interact with blockchain protocols.
For projects concerned about regulatory clarity, AuditOne's European base and BaFin-reviewed token provide an additional layer of legitimacy often missing in the space. As Web3 gradually moves toward mainstream adoption, this focus on compliance may prove just as important as technical security in building trust with traditional institutions and retail users alike.

Chapters
1. The $3 Billion Problem: How Adrien Resch Is Reinventing Web3 Security for a Safer Future | S5 E17 (00:00:00)
2. Adrien, for those unfamiliar with AuditOne and Safura, can you share what inspired you to build a cybersecurity ecosystem for Web3 and AI? (00:01:05)
3. How do you see the role of security in driving Web3 and AI adoption? (00:04:15)
4. You mentioned your agent, smart contracts, and systems as key parts of your services. What sets you apart from your competitors? (00:06:12)
5. Do you provide tools that let clients evaluate their smart contract security themselves? How technical does it get, and how does this empower your users? (00:08:36)
6. You also have an audit token — can you explain its role in creating a circular economy and how it benefits your clients, auditors, and the community? (00:10:18)
7. We’ve talked about AuditOne and Safura. Can you explain how coverage pools and risk mitigation mechanisms work, and why they’re a game changer for Web3? (00:12:43)
8. How do the token and your decentralized risk-sharing model provide both security and flexibility? (00:14:30)
9. Your platform clearly emphasizes collaboration among auditors, clients, and the community. How are these partnerships creating a network effect and driving your growth? (00:16:11)
10. We’ve talked about trust being critical in Web3. How does regulatory compliance enhance confidence in your ecosystem for both clients and token holders? (00:19:08)
11. I know you’re planning to transition to a DAO structure. Can you talk more about what that means for your project and what the future looks like? (00:20:54)
12. You’re clearly excited about the DAO structure. Are there other milestones or features you’re looking forward to bringing to your users this year or next? (00:21:58)
13. Are there any upcoming events where people can meet you in the future? (00:24:13)
14. If people want to learn more about the projects you mentioned, where would you like me to send them? (00:25:20)
