One of the biggest problems faced by Web 3 platforms is hacking. Phishing and malicious activity have plagued exchanges and bridges. If Web 3.0 platforms face a bot problem, it will be a serious blow to the legitimacy of blockchain platforms. Security is one of the biggest selling points of blockchain.
