Wormhole: Defense-in-Depth Beats Risk Scores

**Security through redundancy, not ratings** Wormhole's @nsuri_ challenges the industry's obsession with risk scoring frameworks. His argument: **layered defense mechanisms provide stronger security** than any single rating system. **The core thesis:** - Multiple overlapping security layers catch failures that scoring systems miss - Defense-in-depth creates redundancy when individual protections fail - Rating frameworks offer false precision in an inherently complex threat landscape This perspective contrasts with the fragmented approach to shared security, where each network operates with distinct risks and slashing rules—a complexity that undermines composability in DeFi. The debate highlights a fundamental question: Should protocols chase perfect risk metrics or invest in overlapping safeguards?
