Whats The Future Of Blockchain Security? Experts Insights At CryptoExpo Europe

At CryptoExpo Europe, security took center stage during the panel “Security and Privacy in Blockchain Systems.” Experts discussed how blockchain security today is similar to the early days of the internet—there’s a boom in projects, but users often struggle to tell which ones are safe and which ones are scams.

One big topic of discussion was Pump.fun, a platform where users can discover new projects. But here’s its major issue: 99% of them are fraudulent by design. While it serves as a discovery tool, it also highlights a major problem: finding reliable projects is still too difficult for everyday users.

A major concern in blockchain security is how vulnerable smart contracts still are. Hackers are always on the lookout for small loopholes, and without proper security measures, projects can lose millions overnight.

The panelists stressed a few key ways to improve smart contract security when created by developers:
Follow industry best practices – don’t just experiment blindly.
Run extensive tests – using automation, integration testing, and external audits.
Work with security firms – getting certified and approved by professionals.
Being proactive – no need to wait for an attack to happen before securing your project.

Blockchain developers need to take security seriously from the start, not as an afterthought.

The discussion continued and the panelists pointed out that security doesn’t stop at coding: it also depends on where and how contracts are deployed to avoid external threats.

Beyond the panel, industry trends suggest that blockchain security is evolving with:
– AI-powered security tools to detect threats in real time.
– Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to improve privacy while keeping transactions secure.
– Decentralized identity solutions to prevent fraud.
– Stronger regulations to reduce scams and rug pulls.

As blockchain continues to grow, its security protocols need to evolve just as fast. The industry is shifting from a “move fast and break things” mentality to building trust through security-first approaches. Because if users can’t trust blockchain, mass adoption will not be a goal that could be easily achieved.
