Security gets overlooked when everything runs smoothly. Only when something breaks do people suddenly care.

Watching projects like Alturax commit to regular independent audits sends a real message. Not because audits look good in marketing decks—they're the opposite of flashy. It's the unglamorous, methodical work that separates serious builders from the rest.

When you're launching yield products or any DeFi protocol, cutting corners on security feels tempting. Faster launch, lower costs. But one exploit can wipe out user funds and destroy what took months to build.

The teams that treat audits as non-negotiable, not as a PR checkbox? Those are the ones actually worth paying attention to. It's boring. It's expensive. It's exactly why it matters.
