The benefits of a standardized DeFi assessment framework like Web3SOC are multifold: For Institutions: Reduced risk through standardized evaluation, clearer understanding of protocol operations and security posture, faster due diligence, and increased confidence in the DeFi ecosystem. This is a direct pathway to scaling institutional DeFi participation. For DeFi Projects: A clear roadmap for improving internal processes, enhanced credibility when engaging with institutions, ability to benchmark against industry standards, and potentially attracting more sophisticated users and capital. It helps projects bolster their Web3 security and operational resilience. For the Ecosystem: Increased transparency, fostering trust, promoting best practices, and ultimately accelerating the maturation and adoption of decentralized finance on a larger scale.
