# Security

Reserve aims to establish a robust and stable DTF platform. However, this necessitates the implementation of an additional layer of smart contracts, introducing an extra level of smart contract risk.

The Reserve team is aware of these tradeoffs and has prioritized security by undergoing multiple audits conducted by the world's leading security firms.

## Smart contract security audits

| Auditor        | Date     | Scope    | Report                                                                                                                                           |
| -------------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Trust Security | Dec 2024 | Protocol | [Report](https://github.com/reserve-protocol/reserve-index-dtf/blob/main/audits/trust-security/v1-audit-dec-2024.pdf)                            |
| Cantina        | Jan 2025 | Protocol | [Report](https://github.com/reserve-protocol/reserve-index-dtf/blob/main/audits/cantina/report-competition-reserve-jan2025.pdf)                  |
| Trail of Bits  | Apr 2025 | Protocol | [Report](https://github.com/reserve-protocol/reserve-index-dtf/blob/main/audits/trail-of-bits/2025-04-reserve-folio-solidity-securityreview.pdf) |
| Pashov         | Jun 2025 | Protocol | [Report](https://github.com/reserve-protocol/reserve-index-dtf/blob/main/audits/pashov/reserve-security-review_2025-06-02.pdf)                   |

In addition to performing an initial full audit on the Index DTF protocol, Trust Security is the main security partner for ABC Labs, and reviews every piece of solidity code before it is deployed onchain to be used in production.  Their depth of knowledge of the Index and Yield protocols is matched only by that of the core developers.

## Bug bounty

In addition to undergoing numerous audits, the Reserve team would like to motivate the community to undertake their own audits and will reward individuals who responsibly disclose any vulnerabilities they find.

**Bug bounty of $10,000,000**

Reserve has partnered with Cantina for its bug bounty program. See additional details of the program, or report any findings here: <https://cantina.xyz/bounties/3709ca85-4050-407e-9b36-51f5d5ea9b00>
