How to Become Blockchain Security Engineer? Part 1
Picture this: A hacker in pajamas (hoodies are so 2023) stole $200M from a crypto exchange while reheating cold pizza.
Not a movie—just another incident in blockchain land.
Hackers are winning, but here's the solution: You don't need to be a genius to stop them.
Stay curious and stubborn, and maybe enjoy puzzles for more than a 3-hour Scrabble session.
Let's turn this "scary tech thing" into a career even your grandma would side-eye at Thanksgiving. 👵💻
Why Are Blockchain Security Jobs Booming?
Hacker Threats Make It a High-Stakes Game
You can imagine this like remembering leaving your front door unlocked?
In the same way, hackers find the tiniest code errors and enter into a blockchain project through a code typo that may be smaller than a TikTok trend and vanish with millions.
Poly Network hack?
$600M is gone because of one line of sketchy code. Yikes.
But here's the kicker: Blockchain security is like playing whack-a-mole with hackers…except you get paid six figures to swing. Companies are hunting for professionals who spot "glitches" (read: billion-dollar oopsies) before they blow up.
Salaries? $150K–300K (no, that's not a typo).
Perks? Work in PJs. Fight crime. Avoid meetings.
Impact? Save projects from becoming memes.
Reason why "Secure Blockchain" Platforms Flop
(Looking at You, Circle)
The real-life situation is that 86% of crypto projects fail audits. The reason is that hackers are not geniuses, but due to developers skipping code testing.
Pro tip: Learn from the failures. You can spend 3 hours debugging a contract and the mistake could be the misspelled word "token" 🙃 Blockchain is 10% math, 90% attention span.
What Your should do?
=>Start conversations in the community and network with fellow professionals.
Word-of-mouth is gold here. Ask questions like
