The Future of Blockchain Security

This slide deck presents "The Future of Blockchain Security Through Decentralised Peer-to-Peer Networks" by Samuel Arogbonlo (March 2025). It addresses the looming "quantum nightmare" threatening blockchain's cryptographic foundations, with projections showing vulnerability of current systems by 2030-2035. The presentation analyzes major security failures like the $615M Ronin Bridge hack and $100M Mango Markets exploit to demonstrate how insufficient decentralization creates critical vulnerabilities.
The deck proposes solutions through quantum-resistant cryptography (lattice-based, hash-based signatures), zero-knowledge proofs, and decentralized security architectures modeled after biological immune systems. It outlines practical implementation paths for both developers and users, emphasizing that security transitions must happen immediately rather than reactively. The presentation frames blockchain security as an economic game where attack costs must outweigh potential rewards, and concludes with the "Phoenix Principle" - creating antifragile systems that grow stronger from attacks.
