Smart Contract Security

Have the smart contracts been audited?

Yes. All Tori smart contracts are independently audited by Sherlock and Nethermind, two leading smart contract security firms. Sherlock protects over $50 billion in assets across Web3.

Is there a bug bounty program?

Yes. We maintain an active bug bounty program. Security researchers can earn rewards for responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities. Report vulnerabilities to: [email protected]

How often are contracts audited?

Are the contracts upgradeable?

Yes. Contracts use upgradeable proxy patterns to allow security fixes and improvements. Safeguards in place:
  • Multi-signature approval required for upgrades
  • Time locks on sensitive changes
  • Transparent upgrade process

Asset Security

Where are assets held?

On-Chain Assets

Audited smart contracts with multi-signature controls and time locks

Off-Chain Assets

Qualified institutional custodians with segregated accounts

Is trUSD/strUSD insured?

No. trUSD and strUSD are not insured by:
  • Any government agency (like FDIC)
  • Private insurance companies
This is standard for DeFi tokens. Only use amounts appropriate to your risk tolerance. Protocol cover for the Tori pre-deposit vault is available separately through Nexus Mutual, covering smart contract and oracle risk. You can purchase it directly on the Nexus Mutual app.

Who are the custodians?

We work exclusively with qualified institutional custodians and partners that meet our rigorous due diligence standards:

Can the team access protocol assets?

The protocol is designed with strict access controls:

Verification & Transparency

How can I verify reserves?

Three ways to verify:
1

Proof of Reserves

Check real-time attestations from Accountable for independent, third-party verification
2

On-Chain Data

Verify smart contract balances directly on Etherscan
3

Token Supply

Compare total trUSD supply against backing

How often are reserves verified?

Real-time. Proof of Reserves from Accountable updates continuously, not monthly or quarterly like traditional finance.

Where can I see the Proof of Reserves?

  • Proof of concept (if applicable)
  • Potential impact assessment
Responsible disclosure: Please don’t publicly disclose vulnerabilities before they’ve been addressed. We commit to acknowledging reports within 24 hours.

I think my wallet was compromised

If you suspect unauthorized activity:
  1. Stop - Don’t make any more transactions
  2. Move assets - Transfer remaining tokens to a new, secure wallet
  3. Report - Create a ticket on our Discord for support
  4. Document - Save transaction hashes and screenshots

Security Approach

How does Tori approach security?

Security is multi-layered. We don’t rely on any single protection:

What are the limitations?

No system can guarantee perfect security. We’re transparent about this:
  • Audits are point-in-time assessments
  • New attack vectors can emerge
  • DeFi is experimental by nature
This is why we use multiple overlapping protections rather than relying on any single measure. See Risk Disclosures for complete information.
