### Key Fundamentals for the security

1. **Code Review and Auditing**:
   * Regularly Smart-Contract Audits and Pentest with thorough code reviews, security audits, Grey-box testing along with Application code, and deployer daemon.
2. **Authentication and Authorization**:
   * Strong authentication and authorization mechanisms with ECC to ensure that only authorized deployers can initiate deployments. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional layer of security
3. **Encryption and Secure Communication Channels**:
   * SHA-256 Encryption is used to protect data in transit and ensure that all communication between deployers and the blockchain network is conducted over secure channels.
4. **Regular Updates and Patch Management**:
   * All software components of the Platform, Application & deployer daemon are updated with the latest security patches and updates recommended by Community and active hackathon participations&#x20;
5. **Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems**:
   * Intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are deployed to monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and block potential threats.
6. **Access Control and Least Privilege**:
   * Principle of least privilege and Whitelisted IPs are implemented to all system components, ensuring that each part of the system has only the access necessary to perform its function.
7. **Rate Limiting and Throttling**:
   * Rate limiting and throttling is implemented to prevent abuse of the deployment system, using denial-of-service protection and secure network
8. **Logging and Monitoring**:
   * Comprehensive logs of all activities are updated and regularly monitored for signs of unauthorized access or unusual behavior.
9. **KYT Screening**
   * All incoming and outgoing transactions intracting within the pools are screened using chainalysis for proper compliance and AML screening.

Zeebu's security measures go beyond surface-level precautions. The protocol has undergone rigorous audits by six industry-leading firms: [Hacken, Certora, OpenZeppelin, Trail of Bits, CertiK, and Cyberscope](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]. Each brings unique expertise to scrutinize different aspects of Zeebu's architecture.

These audits dissect smart contracts, examine tokenomics, and stress-test network resilience. They uncover potential vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. While no system is invulnerable, Zeebu's multi-layered approach to security audits demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding user assets and maintaining the integrity of its decentralized ecosystem.
