Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the crucial role of DevSecOps in Web3 application development. DevSecOps combines development, security, and operation and is essential for Web3 applications that use public blockchains with real-time transaction settlement and immutability. Due to the lack of a “charge-back” option in public blockchains, Web3 applications require higher security standards than traditional financial systems. DevSecOps can help identify security issues early on in the development phase, and automated security tools can be employed during the build phase to detect security bugs. However, DevSecOps is not widely adopted among Web3 projects due to a lack of awareness and skills among DevSecOps professionals. Web3 applications rely on Web2 technologies that are vulnerable to security attacks, such as cloud hosting and centralized databases. Therefore, DevSecOps can enhance the security and integrity of Web3 applications, protect user data and transactions, and improve overall quality. This chapter provides practical insights into how to introduce DevSecOps into Web3 application development, and it also includes sample security tools for successful automation. By adopting DevSecOps, Web3 developers can ensure that their applications meet higher security standards and enhance the trust and confidence of their users.
