Collateral Damage Control

When our testnet lit up with a terrifying edge-case bug—one that could have sent DAI spiraling off its peg—I felt every muscle in my shoulders tense. In this premiere, I walk you through the exact moment I spotted that anomaly, the frantic Slack pings that followed, and the impromptu war-room where our QA crew recreated the exploit and drove a fix in record time. You’ll hear me replay the timeline minute-by-minute, relive the adrenaline rush of tracing the fault, and celebrate the trust-but-test ethos that saved billions in value before the code ever hit mainnet.
