Towards Adaptive, Learning-Based Security in Decentralized Applications

ArXi:2311.01956v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Web3 systems expose a fundamentally different security landscape from centralized platforms, characterized by composability, pseudonymous identities, decentralized governance, and rapidly evolving attack strategies that span social, application, and protocol layers. Existing security mechanisms, such as static smart contract analysis, blacklist-based phishing detection, and network-level mitigation, operate in isolation and assume fixed threat models, limiting their effectiveness against adaptive, cross-layer adversaries.
