Which is the most important consideration when assessing compromise risks when creating a decentralized finance...

Code uniqueness is critical because reuse or replication of vulnerable code exposes protocols to known exploits. Unique, well-audited, and secure code minimizes compromise risk in decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contracts.

Security standards (A), authentication (B), and regulation (C) are important but secondary to the fundamental security of the code itself.
