Applications leveraging strong base layer binding can enjoy reduced transaction friction and better interoperability within the same ecosystem. However, this can also limit the protocol’s adaptability if better opportunities arise on competing chains. The most sustainable designs incorporate cross-chain gateways, allowing users to retain access to core services while benefiting from the original binding advantageWhile open sourcing and auditing are important, they are not absolute guarantees of safety. Attackers may still find novel exploits or social engineering vectors. Thus, projects should also have clear upgrade mechanisms and emergency response plans. Audits should be recent and cover all deployed code, not just isolated components. Open source status should be genuine—code must match what is deployed on-chain. These measures ensure that transparency and audit reports translate into real-world security and reliability for users.
