Smart Contract Risk
The risk that a bug, exploit, or upgrade in a protocol's code causes user funds to be lost or stolen.

All on-chain protocols carry smart contract risk. Mitigations include third-party audits, bug bounty programs, time-locked upgrades, and battle-tested age (Lindy). Bridge contract risk is structurally larger than DEX contract risk because bridges hold concentrated assets across many chains.
