Quantifying code security involves combining audit results, bug bounty activity, and historical exploit data. Review whether code is open-source, audited by reputable firms, and continuously updated. Check test coverage, frequency of commits, and participation in peer reviews. Projects with active bug bounty programs demonstrate maturity by incentivizing community scrutiny. Historical resilience against attacks, or rapid recovery when incidents occur, adds weight. Security is not absolute, but quantifiable indicators such as multiple independent audits, low critical vulnerabilities, and high developer responsiveness provide measurable confidence.

Bridge activity is frequently considered when allocating rewards since bridging demonstrates early cross-chain engagement and helps bootstrap liquidity on target networks. Projects often reward canonical bridge users, relayer operators, and early liquidity providers who help establish ecosystem flows. However, simple bridge hops without subsequent on-chain usage are sometimes de-weighted to deter sybil farming. Sustainable credit typically favors users who bridge and then interact—provide liquidity, trade, stake, or use forged on-chain services—thus contributing real economic activity. In short, bridge users can earn extra eligibility, especially when bridging is coupled with meaningful post-bridge engagement.

Easing distribution rules for on-chain wallets meaningfully expands top-of-funnel access on Android, the world’s largest mobile base. Native support for in-app blockchain interactions—if implemented with clear disclosures and geo-compliance—reduces friction for onboarding, swaps, and staking. Wallets can ship safer UX patterns (spend limits, session keys, phishing warnings) and integrate account abstraction for smoother recovery and gas sponsorship. For DeFi, this translates into higher conversion from curious users to transactors, boosting MAUs and small-ticket flows. However, obligations around KYC/AML in certain jurisdictions, fee policies, and app-store review cycles still constrain experimentation. Net impact is a step-function improvement in distribution and education; winners will be wallets that marry compliance toolkits with seamless multichain support and monetization beyond volatile ad or referral revenue.
