OpenZeppelin co-founder: Withdraw funds from all DeFi protocols

Manuel Aráoz, co-founder of crypto security firm OpenZeppelin, has warned that all DeFi protocols are unsafe due to the overwhelming advantage attackers hold over defenders. According to The Block, Aráoz recently recommended on X that users withdraw their funds from all DeFi, including blue-chip protocols like Aave (AAVE) and Compound (COMP). He explained that the ability of AI agents to find vulnerabilities now surpasses that of humans, noting that while defenders must fix a vast number of bugs, an attacker only needs to discover a single vulnerability to drain funds.
