According to CoinMeta, the deadline for compliance with the standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is approaching, but there is still a lack of an enforceable framework in place. According to a 2026 survey, 17% of companies have already deployed proxy solutions, and another 42% plan to do so within the next year. Despite companies being rapidly advancing with their deployments, the absence of a federal measurement framework makes the definitions of "security" or "compliance" rather vague. NIST's 2026 status report indicates that 88.4% of companies have experienced security vulnerabilities in their proxy solutions over the past 12 months, with data breaches and malicious input manipulation being the most common incidents.
