Hacken's approach on this is solid. Running audits across core L1 infrastructure, state transitions, precompiles, and IBC protocols represents the kind of security validation you actually need before networks see serious traffic. The real test comes through execution: bridge EVM assets into Cosmos via IBC, trigger precompile interactions, then monitor transaction receipts under actual load conditions. When traffic scales up and the system stays stable—no crashes, no degradation—that's when you know the foundation holds. This isn't about chasing TPS metrics. It's about proving the architecture doesn't break when it matters.
