Risk Assessment
Good
Protocol Code Quality
- Code reviewed by several experienced auditors; Quantstamp, Neodyme, Kudelski and OtterSec
- Public team promotes accountability
- No documented protocol hacks since launch
Protocol Maturity
- Latest protocol version launched in 2024; maturity over nine months reduces technical risk as smart contracts are sufficiently battle-tested
- Top 10% by total value locked reduces risk
- Multisig wallet controls protocol upgrades
- Multisig consists of less than 4 signers, which makes the protocol more susceptible to centralization risks
- No timelock exists or no information documented, which mean a malicious actor could approve upgrades without any delay
- No governance token and/or contracts are fully immutable
Protocol Design
- This protocol is susceptible to risks related to staking a token to secure a network, such as slashing events
