84% of January 2026's $370M in losses traced to phishing — people signing things they couldn't read or verify. The $282M hardware wallet theft that same month proved cold storage is meaningless once someone talks you into typing your seed phrase. Every opsec stack eventually bottlenecks at the same point: can you actually validate what your wallet is asking you to approve? Multisigs, timelocks, hardware isolation — all downstream of whether the signer understands the transaction they're confirming.
