168 mitigation strategies distilled across all 38 failure modes into 41 actionable themes — ranked by combined ease of implementation, impact, and cross-risk leverage.
Key finding: Monitoring infrastructure scores #1 by a factor of 4× because it's easy to deploy (no protocol changes), meaningfully impacts 12 different failure modes simultaneously, and creates the visibility needed to respond to every other risk on this list. You can't fix what you can't see.
High-leverage cluster: Entries #2–10 are all achievable within 1–2 years without protocol changes — pool decentralization, regulatory engagement, Tor adoption, Stratum V2, address non-reuse, and developer hardware security. These represent the community's highest-ROI near-term investments.
