Security and Audits

Maintaining trust and security in a DeFi + AI environment is critical to the success of a protocol long term. The Renatus Protocol incorporates best practices across smart contracts, liquidity management, and external AI integrations:

• Smart Contract Security

  • All core contracts (Bonding, RenatusPair, LiqLocker, etc.) are audited by Hacken.
  • The extensive use of immutability and lock mechanisms prevents malicious upgrades or parameter changes by creators, protocol owners, or other parties.
  • Comprehensive test coverage ensures stable operation under typical stress scenarios.
  • Third party bug bounty programs ensure continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities or exploits by many eyes.

• Liquidity Locker Protections

  • The LiqLocker contract is immutable, with no admin function to seize or redirect user liquidity.
  • Liquidity shares vest predictably over time.
  • Transparent on-chain logs document all vesting and fee claims.

• AI Agent Security

  • AI agent endpoints and keys are protected via [highlighted method of encryption or key management].
  • Users can revoke or update their AI agent’s access tokens at any time to mitigate risk.

• Audit Reports

  • [Provide links or references to official audit certificates or summary reports here, if available: e.g. “Audit by [CompanyName], dated [Month Year], concluding no critical vulnerabilities found.”]

3. Risk Management

While the protocol aims to minimize risk, users should be aware of potential pitfalls:

1. Market Volatility

   • Bonding curves can experience rapid price changes if large purchases or sells occur.
   • V3 liquidity on PancakeSwap may also face impermanent loss if token prices fluctuate.

2. Smart Contract Exploits

   • Although audited and tested, all DeFi contracts carry non-zero exploit risk.
   • Always perform due diligence and only invest what you can afford to lose.

3. AI Dependence

   • Reliance on external APIs and AI models can introduce points of failure or degrade performance if those services become unavailable or rate-limited.
   • Ensure fallback strategies exist (e.g., manual moderation or alternative bot setups).

4. Administrative & Governance Risks

   • If certain tax parameters or contract roles are not locked, the creator could misuse them.
   • Renatus tries to mitigate this with transparent on-chain locks, but trust in the token deployer is still necessary until all critical parameters are locked.
