For effective, consistent results, enhancing the security of bridge protocols must begin with smart practices by developers. In March 2022, the developers of the Ronin bridge announced a hack in which $612 million was taken in just two fraudulent transactions. It was a blow that struck at the very foundations of crypto’s potential: If transactions between blockchains can’t be effectively secured, the industry will remain fragmented. The development of new blockchain bridges has taken off in recent years, and it’s essential for devs to take heed of the lessons from the Ronin hack. Below, 10 members of Cointelegraph Innovation Circle discuss strategies devs can leverage to increase the security of bridge protocols—it’s a challenge that may take more than careful coding.

Creators of Web3 projects should understand that many users are coming in with Web2-influenced expectations. Web3 may be the future, but Web3 creators must design with the present in mind and strive for a user experience that blends the familiar with the new and exciting. While industry enthusiasts are knowledgeable about the technology, terms and potential of Web3 and crypto, newcomers — even those with high interest in the industry — likely are not.
