By DELV

TL;DR

  • To-date, Hyperdrive has undergone six audits and formal verifications
  • The latest audit uncovered nine non-critical issues which were all addressed prior to launch
  • There is now a public bug bounty program, hosted in partnership with Cantina for up to $100k to further enhance security, in which individuals can participate
  • DELV is providing security monitoring and incident management services to Element DAO for their deployment of Hyperdrive over an initial 90 day period

Hyperdrive Audit Reports & Security Efforts Continue

Hyperdrive’s audit reports provide an in-depth analysis of the AMM, including findings and actions taken to solve or mitigate the audit-reported issues. Overall, Hyperdrive has gone through several rounds of audits (6) and formal verification. Today, we’re excited to also unveil a public bug bounty program with Cantina and share more of our security efforts supporting Element DAO’s Hyperdrive deployment.

Bug Bounty Program Launch with Cantina!

DELV aims to provide nothing but the best security for our software and is now motivating the community to also undertake their own security reviews of Hyperdrive in which we will happily reward individuals who provide responsible disclosures of qualifying vulnerabilities discovered within the codebase.

Security Monitoring and Incident Management Services for Element DAO’s Hyperdrive Mainnet Deployment

With the recent launch of Element DAO’s Hyperdrive Deployment, we’re thrilled to be providing the Element DAO with our Security Monitoring and Incident Management Services. As a limited service provider to the DAO, DELV is currently monitoring, for a 90-day period, the health and safety of the Hyperdrive deployments. This includes, but is not limited to the following areas:

  1. Yield Source Hacks
  2. Hyperdrive Trading Vulnerabilities
  3. Hyperdrive Non-Trading Vulnerabilities
  4. Negative Interest Events (e.g., slashing events)
  5. Checkpoint Minting Failures
  6. Sunsetting Pools

Summary

Our security efforts over the past year have resulted in the discovery of several bugs, including some critical and high-severity issues. The DELV team has taken actions to evaluate, mitigate, and address these issues, and we look forward to continuing to work with security partners as we build out new features and continue R&D for Hyperdrive.

In combination with six audit reports, formal verification, fuzzing, high coverage unit and integration testing, and now a continuous bug bounty program, we are working hard to build and earn public confidence in the security of Hyperdrive.
