Security

Smart contract security is a top priority for those working on Aura Finance. All reasonable precautions must be taken to ensure the protocol is safe to use. Below is a list of some of the things we believe make smart contract systems secure.

Chainalysis's Proactive Incident Response

Aura has partnered up with @chainalysis to adopt an Incident Response Plan for the protocol. The IRP adds an extra layer of security on top of well-developed code and audits, Aura will be able to deter hackers and have an asset recovery plan in potential events.

Internal processes

Codebase

Some practices employed on Aura Finance smart contract repositories:

• protected master branch with mandatory peer reviews and passing CI (including linting, compiling, and testing)

• >98% code coverage (using coveralls) and comprehensive integration tests

• Strict linting rules

• Code commented using the Natspec standard

Fork testing

Fork testing is helps simulate contract deployments and functionality in a live environment, accounting for external dependencies. Aura comprehensively tests deployments using fork tests.

Internal auditing

Developers know their code best, and dedicated time has been taken to manually review all code in the system.
