A system level threat is a danger that targets the overall operational integrity or foundational components of a digital asset ecosystem. This type of threat extends beyond individual smart contract vulnerabilities or user accounts, aiming to compromise the underlying blockchain network, its consensus mechanism, or critical infrastructure dependencies. Examples include large-scale network attacks, protocol-level exploits, or coordinated attacks on core development teams. Such threats pose a risk to the entire system’s functionality and trustworthiness.
Context

Mitigating these threats requires continuous security research, robust protocol design, and decentralized operational practices. The industry remains vigilant against potential weaknesses that could impact the entire ecosystem.
