Decentralized, Not Defenseless: The Governance Security Checklist
Shelby Steidl

In the "code is law" era, governance is the ultimate attack vector. This session outlines a hardened security architecture used by ZKsync: 3-Body Governance (Token Holders, Guardians & Security Council), layered technical resilience via audits and whitehat incentives, and stronger accountability via token mechanics & compliance. Learn how to build incorruptible systems to defend decentralization.
