PulseCore Security

protecting your assets on the most secure dex on pulsechain security is at the core of pulsecore's design philosophy we understand that decentralized finance requires the highest standards of protection for user assets and protocol integrity this document outlines our comprehensive security approach, best practices for users, and the measures we've implemented to create the most secure trading environment on pulsechain smart contract security audit process pulsecore's smart contracts undergo a rigorous security process multiple independent audits we work with leading blockchain security firms to conduct comprehensive audits of all protocol code formal verification critical components undergo mathematical verification to prove correctness automated testing extensive automated test suites with high coverage metrics security competition pre launch security competitions with substantial rewards for identifying vulnerabilities code design principles our development follows industry best practices simplicity over complexity favoring straightforward, proven approaches over novel but untested methods conservative upgrade path changes to the protocol follow a careful, phased approach defense in depth multiple layers of security controls rather than single points of protection minimal privilege smart contracts operate with the least privilege required timelocks and multisig controls critical protocol functions are protected by timelock delays for parameter changes multi signature requirements for administrative functions transparent governance processes gradual parameter adjustment limits protocol safeguards circuit breakers pulsecore implements circuit breakers that can automatically pause specific functions during abnormal conditions unusual trading volume spikes extreme price movements suspicious transaction patterns oracle data inconsistencies oracle security price feeds and external data are secured through multiple independent data sources median price calculations to eliminate outliers deviation thresholds to detect manipulation heartbeat checks for data freshness emergency response our security team has established procedures for 24/7 monitoring of protocol activities clear incident response playbooks communication channels for vulnerability disclosure regular drills and simulations user security best practices wallet security protect your access to pulsecore use hardware wallets (ledger, trezor) for significant holdings enable multi factor authentication when available maintain separate wallets for different purposes regularly review connected applications transaction safety when interacting with pulsecore verify the website url is pulsecore io (bookmark it for future use) check transaction details before signing use reasonable slippage settings (0 5 1% for most trades) start with small test transactions when using new features phishing prevention protect yourself from scams never share your seed phrase or private keys be wary of impersonators in community channels verify all links and communications through official channels no legitimate team member will ever ask for funds or wallet information liquidity security pool security measures protecting liquidity providers and traders flash loan attack prevention market manipulation detection volume based fee optimization liquidity concentration risk monitoring impermanent loss protection tools to help users manage il risk clear visualization of potential outcomes real time position monitoring market condition alerts educational resources bridging security cross chain asset protection our bridging technology incorporates multiple security layers validator consensus multiple independent validators must agree on asset transfers fraud proofs mechanism for challenging incorrect transfers time delays graduated delays based on transfer size liquidity caps maximum transfer amounts to limit exposure reserve monitoring transparent view into bridge reserves bridge partner requirements we carefully select bridge partners based on proven security track record independent security audits transparent operations strong validator set privacy considerations user data protection while maintaining the transparency of a public blockchain, we protect user privacy no collection of kyc information minimal off chain data storage no tracking of user behavior beyond on chain activity optional private transaction routes (future feature) front running protection measures to protect users from front running transaction sequencing mechanisms mev protection solutions clear indicators for potential sandwich attacks user adjustable protection levels security disclosure program bug bounty we maintain an active bug bounty program competitive rewards based on vulnerability severity safe harbor provisions for good faith researchers clear scope and submission guidelines prompt triage and response responsible disclosure to report security issues email security\@pulsecore io response timeline initial response within 24 hours security documentation audit reports all audit reports will be published full findings with severity classifications team responses to each finding remediation verification ongoing monitoring plans security advisories we publish advisories for patched vulnerabilities recommended user actions protocol upgrades industry wide issues affecting defi continuous security improvement security roadmap our ongoing security initiatives include regular third party penetration testing expanded formal verification coverage advanced anomaly detection systems enhanced user security features community security education security governance as the protocol evolves toward greater decentralization, security governance will include community oversight of security measures transparent reporting of security metrics collaborative decision making on security parameters stakeholder input on security priorities comparison with industry standards pulsecore meets or exceeds security best practices from established defi protocols security feature pulsecore industry standard independent audits multiple firms often single audit bug bounty program competitive rewards limited scope circuit breakers multi parameter often basic or absent governance security timelocks & multisig often centralized
