Security Model & Auditing

HFDX's security philosophy is built on minimal trusted roles and immutable core logic, while providing upgradeable periphery through governance:

• Core Logic — Immutable smart contracts enforce all trading, margining, and liquidation rules.
• Periphery Modules — Upgradeable via on-chain governance to allow feature enhancements.
• Formal Invariant Design — Key system properties, such as pool solvency and margin invariants, are formally specified and enforced.

Recommended Security Processes

• Multi-round external audits by top-tier firms
• Continuous monitoring of smart contract performance
• Incentivized bug bounty programs for community participation

This multi-layered security framework is critical for institutional adoption and regulatory confidence.
