Amid this alarming scenario, has a beacon of hope emerged in ERC-7265?\xa0\nThe proposal aims to create a 'circuit breaker' safety layer for DeFi contracts, potentially revolutionizing security measures in the crypto space. Could this be the key to bolstering security and paving the way for mass adoption of DeFi? Will it essentially centralize protocols?
