Stani's response this time is quite firm; the infrastructure is indeed much more resilient than in 2021, with AI auditing and formal verification working hand in hand, DeFi security is evolving.

Stani Kulechov refutes the idea that DeFi is unsafe, stating that the infrastructure is more resilient than the previous cycle, and AI is also enhancing security. Progress has been made in risk engines, lending structures, formal verification, audits, bug bounties, oracles, automated monitoring, circuit breakers, and more. Some risks originate from Web2 operations, which are currently strengthening internal controls and SOC2 compliance. Previously, OpenZeppelin's Aráoz claimed that AI can find vulnerabilities and that DeFi is unsafe; the company has now clarified that he left in 2019, and recent incidents mainly stem from operational security issues.
