In this podcast interview, Erick Watson discusses the staggering financial losses caused by cross-chain bridge vulnerabilities and how Randamu’s technology offers a fundamentally different approach to blockchain interoperability.
Bridge exploits have accounted for over $62 billion in losses, making them among the most costly attack vectors in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Watson explains why traditional bridges are inherently vulnerable, as they create concentrated pools of locked assets that become high-value targets, and how Randamu’s bridgeless approach eliminates this risk by coordinating cross-chain actions through threshold cryptography without moving assets through intermediaries.
The conversation explores the economic impact of bridge security failures on the broader blockchain industry, the technical foundations of Randamu’s approach, and why institutions require infrastructure that can deliver security without sacrificing usability.
