Security

Security is a core principle of Orion Finance - protecting user funds, curator strategies, and the integrity of the protocol.

Why Security Matters​

In DeFi, trust is built on transparency and robust engineering. A single exploit can lead to loss of funds, damaged reputation, and reduced participation. Orion’s architecture is designed to minimize attack surfaces while keeping the system fully permissionless.

How Orion Ensures Security​

  1. Audited Smart Contracts

    • All core contracts undergo independent security audits before deployment.
    • Continuous monitoring detects unusual behavior.

  2. Non-Custodial Design

    • Users always control their assets through smart contracts - Orion never holds user funds.
    • Withdrawals are possible at any time (subject to the asynchronous execution).

  3. Role Separation & Least Privilege

    • Curators define strategies but cannot access user deposits directly.
    • Protocol governance and vault operations are separated to reduce risk.

  4. MEV & Front-Running Protection

    • Bundling, batching, and netting help obscure trade details until execution.
    • Private vaults and confidential execution protect against adversarial ordering.

  5. Continuous Testing & Upgrades

    • Automated test suites cover all protocol components.
    • Security patches are deployed via transparent, versioned upgrades.
