Figuring out where attackers might strike? That's where threat modeling comes in—it's basically your blueprint for spotting weak points before bad actors do.
What makes it powerful is the defense-in-depth approach. Instead of relying on one security layer, you stack multiple defenses. Think of it like layering locks, alarms, and cameras instead of just a single deadbolt.
Some teams are already pushing this forward in Web3. Real-world stress testing shows which security measures actually hold up when things get messy. Because let's be honest—theory is one thing, but surviving actual attack scenarios? That's the real test.
If you're building in this space, threat modeling isn't optional anymore. It's how you stay ahead.

Well said, layered defense is indeed much more reliable than single-point protection. If Web3 is still betting on just one line of defense, it's doomed.

The defenses have been breached—this is what real security construction looks like. You can't just talk about it on paper.

To be honest, just doing threat modeling isn't enough. The key is you really have to get attacked to find out where the vulnerabilities are.

To be honest, are there still projects that don't do threat modeling these days? So many people have struggled in the Web3 space just to figure out these patterns...

That being said, defense-in-depth strategies should have become standard practice in Web3 long ago. So many projects have gone down just because of a single vulnerability... Theoretical discussions are useless; only real-world testing can reveal the issues.

To put it simply, you need multiple layers of defense—one lock just isn’t enough. The Web3 guys are only now starting to take stress testing seriously; better late than never, I guess.
