🧑‍💻Operational Security

Multisig

Every code upgrade and treasury transaction must be approved by 3/4 multisig. This is enforced through a multisignature contract which only allows code upgrades when 3 out of 4 signers have signed the upgrade with their cold storage wallet.

2FA

All accounts managed by contributors are secured by two factor authentication using an authenticator app, reducing the likelihood of access being granted to a malicious actor via methods such as sim-swapping.

Audits

Our auditors have also checked for centralization risks when auditing . This means that potential backdoors, deliberate exploit opportunities and other risks are reported by the auditor with or without the contributor's approval.
