Overview¶

The Anya DAO implements multiple security layers to protect the protocol, treasury, and governance processes against various attack vectors and vulnerabilities.

Security Layers¶

The DAO implements multiple security layers:

Multi-Signature Requirements: For critical operations
Time Locks: Delayed execution of significant changes
Security Council: Emergency response capability
Formal Verification: Of all governance contracts
Bug Bounty Program: For vulnerability reporting
Taproot Audits: Quarterly Tapscript verification
PSBT Validation: Hardware wallet integration checks
BIP Compliance: Automated protocol checks
Weekly BIP-341 signature validation
Daily BIP-174 transaction audits

Treasury Guards¶

Spending Limits¶

Treasury spending limits are implemented with multi-tier approval requirements:

Operation Size	Required Approvals	Timelock Duration
< 10,000 AGT	2 of 5 signers	24 hours
10,000 - 100,000 AGT	3 of 5 signers	48 hours
> 100,000 AGT	Full governance vote	7 days

Circuit Breakers¶

Automatic circuit breakers activate under abnormal conditions:

Unusual Activity Detection:
Large transfers (>1% of treasury)
Rapid succession of transactions (>5 in 10 minutes)
Multiple operations targeting the same recipient
Market Condition Triggers:
Price movement >30% in 24 hours
Liquidity decrease >50% in 24 hours
Trading volume spike >5x 7-day average
Network Security Concerns:
Blockchain reorganization >3 blocks
Hash rate decrease >30% in 24 hours
Unusual mempool congestion patterns

Governance Security¶

Voting Security¶

Sybil Resistance: Token-weighted voting prevents identity-based attacks
Vote Privacy: Optional private voting mechanism
Delegation Guardrails: Limits on delegation concentration
Vote Verification: On-chain verification of all votes
Anti-Flash Loan Protection: Snapshot voting at proposal creation time

Proposal Security¶

Spam Prevention: Minimum token requirement for proposals
Malicious Proposal Detection: Technical review period
Execution Timelock: Delay between approval and execution
Cancellation Mechanism: Emergency stop for problematic proposals

Technical Security Measures¶

Smart Contract Security¶

;; Security measures in smart contracts (simplified example)
(define-public (execute-sensitive-operation (params (list 10 uint)))
  (begin
    ;; 1. Authorization check
    (asserts! (is-authorized tx-sender) (err u100))

    ;; 2. Parameter validation
    (asserts! (validate-parameters params) (err u101))

    ;; 3. Rate limiting check
    (asserts! (not (rate-limited)) (err u102))

    ;; 4. Execute with logging
    (log-sensitive-operation tx-sender params)
    (perform-operation params)
  )
)

External Security Reviews¶

The DAO undergoes regular external security audits:

Quarterly Contract Audits: By recognized security firms
Annual Penetration Testing: Of the full ecosystem
Continuous Monitoring: Through security partners
Formal Verification: Of critical contract components

Vulnerability Management¶

The DAO implements a comprehensive vulnerability management process:

Bug Bounty Program: Incentives for responsible disclosure
Security Response Team: Dedicated team for vulnerability handling
Vulnerability Classification:
Critical: Immediate response (<24 hours)
High: Rapid response (<3 days)
Medium: Planned response (<7 days)
Low: Scheduled fix in next update
Post-Incident Analysis: Learning and improvement

Emergency Response Procedures¶

In the event of a security incident:

Detection & Analysis: Identify and assess the incident
Containment: Activate circuit breakers if necessary
Remediation: Deploy fixes and patches
Communication: Transparent disclosure to community
Recovery: Return to normal operations
Post-Incident Review: Document lessons learned
