Smart Contract Security
ReserveBTC implements multiple layers of security measures to ensure the safety of user funds and the integrity of the protocol.
Security Overview
Our smart contracts undergo rigorous security testing and auditing processes to ensure they meet the highest standards of security and reliability in the DeFi ecosystem.
Smart Contract Architecture
Modular design with clear separation of concerns, upgradeable components with timelock controls, and comprehensive access control mechanisms.
Access Control
Role-based access control with multi-signature requirements for critical functions, emergency pause mechanisms, and decentralized governance integration.
Transparency
All contracts are verified on block explorers, comprehensive documentation available, and real-time monitoring of all protocol activities.
Risk Mitigation
Circuit breakers for unusual activity, rate limiting mechanisms, and comprehensive testing including fuzzing and formal verification.
Security Measures
Multi-Layer Validation
Every transaction undergoes multiple validation layers including signature verification, balance checks, and oracle confirmation.
- • BIP-322 signature validation
- • Real-time balance verification
- • Oracle consensus mechanisms
- • Smart contract state validation
Emergency Response
Comprehensive emergency response system to handle potential security incidents or system failures.
- • Circuit breaker mechanisms
- • Emergency pause functionality
- • Multi-signature recovery procedures
- • Automated monitoring and alerting
Continuous Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of all protocol activities with automated anomaly detection and response.
- • 24/7 system monitoring
- • Anomaly detection algorithms
- • Real-time security alerts
- • Performance and health metrics
Comprehensive Testing Suite
ReserveBTC implements a comprehensive testing strategy with multiple layers of validation, including unit tests, E2E integration tests, and security canary checks.
E2E Integration Tests
Complete end-to-end scenarios testing Oracle sync, fee deduction, and multi-user invariants
- • User registration & fee prepayment
- • Positive sync with fee deduction
- • Negative sync without fees
- • Multi-user balance invariants
- • Fee cap boundary conditions
Security Canary Tests
Edge case security validation and attack scenario prevention
- • Zero-address constructor protection
- • Fee collector self-destruct resilience
- • State corruption prevention
- • EIP-6780 compliance checks
Oracle Resilience Tests
Stress testing and timing scenarios for Oracle system
- • Small noise delta handling (+1/-1)
- • Large spike delta validation
- • Fee cap enforcement under stress
- • Zero delta no-op behavior
