Security Measures

Untrace Protocol incorporates a defense-in-depth strategy, combining on-chain and off-chain controls to mitigate risks:

  • Threat Modeling & Audit Trails: Formal threat assessments conducted per module, with continuous update of STRIDE-based models and immutable logging via on-chain events.

  • Formal Verification: Critical smart contracts (Mixer, Bridge, Governor) undergo formal proofs using Certora and SMT solvers to validate invariants and prevent state corruption.

  • Secure Coding Standards: All code adheres to MISRA-inspired guidelines for Solidity, Rust, and Go, enforced via linting (Solhint, Clippy) and pre-commit hooks.

  • Runtime Monitoring: Integration of on-chain anomaly detection scripts and off-chain dashboard alerts (Prometheus/Grafana) to flag unusual activity in mixer pools and bridge transactions.

  • Incident Response: Defined SLAs for security incident triage, root-cause analysis, and coordinated disclosure, with emergency pause controls embedded in critical modules.
