Integration risk denotes the potential for failure or adverse outcomes arising from the process of combining different systems, protocols, or applications. In the digital asset space, this can occur when new features are added to existing blockchains, when different blockchains are connected via bridges, or when smart contracts interact with external services. These junctures present opportunities for unforeseen complications.
Context
The increasing complexity of the Web3 ecosystem, with its numerous interconnected protocols and cross-chain functionalities, heightens integration risks. Exploits targeting vulnerabilities at these integration points have led to significant asset losses. Developers and security auditors must rigorously test and verify all integration pathways to safeguard against such systemic threats.
