Ethereum developers have launched Web3SOC to standardize security and compliance in DeFi.
Contributions from top teams like Uniswap Labs, Morpho, Maple Finance, Kiln, and Steakhouse Financial, along with cybersecurity firms Cantina and Secureum.
Web3SOC offers a structured classification framework for Web3 applications to improve transparency, security, and collaborative governance.
The goal is to provide financial institutions and DeFi projects with a shared methodology to assess security practices and ensure operational compliance.
Web3SOC functions as a standardized reference for best practices in smart contract development, protocol risk mitigation, and governance processes.
It could become a foundational layer for evaluating the readiness and reliability of decentralized applications, especially as traditional finance explores blockchain integration.
The framework received contributions from institutional investors and stakeholders, underlining the need for security transparency in DeFi.
Web3SOC aims to address the risks posed by exploits and governance issues in the DeFi sector, enhancing trust from users and institutions.
The launch of Web3SOC signifies a move towards professionalizing DeFi infrastructure, making it more accessible and trustworthy for larger capital allocators and regulators.
