Here's something that flips conventional thinking: a blockchain's total value locked doesn't predict how often it gets hit by exploits.

Look at the data pattern—certain chains sitting below that threshold line? They're getting hammered way more than their TVL size would justify. What's pulling hackers in isn't just the money sitting there.

Could be weaker security audits. Maybe immature smart contract ecosystems. Or bridges and protocols that haven't been battle-tested enough. The attack surface matters more than the treasure chest size.

This shifts how we should evaluate chain security. Raw TVL numbers tell an incomplete story. The architecture, the dev practices, the ecosystem maturity—that's where the real vulnerability gaps live.
