Network Infrastructure

Solana Validators: We operate and partner with high-performance validators:

• Uptime: 99.9%+ SLA

• Commission: Negotiated rates for volume

• Geographic distribution: Multi-region for redundancy

• Slashing protection: Diversified across 5+ validators

Yield Sources (Hybrid Approach):

Native Staking:

• Solana validators (6-7% APY)

• Direct delegation for maximum control

Liquid Staking Protocols:

• Marinade Finance (mSOL)

• Jito (jitoSOL)

• Allows instant liquidity while earning yield

DeFi Lending:

• Kamino Finance

• Solend

• Marginfi

• For USDC staking (8-12% APY)

Yield Optimization Algorithm:

IF (SOL staked):
    Route to: Highest APY among [Native Validators, Marinade, Jito]
IF (USDC staked):
    Route to: Highest APY among [Kamino, Solend, Marginfi]
IF (SFY staked):
    Route to: Native SFY staking pool (boosted rewards)

We automatically route stakes to the highest-yield source:

Security Model

Smart Contract Security:

• Formal verification of critical paths

• External audit scheduled (Q4 2025) by [Leading Firm - TBA]

• Bug bounty program via Immunefi (up to $500k for critical bugs)

• Time-locked upgrades (48-hour governance delay)

• Emergency pause mechanism (multi-sig controlled)

Operational Security:

• Multi-sig treasury: 3-of-5 initially (founders + advisors)

• Transition to DAO governance by Q3 2026

• All protocol upgrades require community vote

• Incident response playbook with 24/7 monitoring

User Protection:

• Non-custodial (users always control private keys)

• Funds never leave user's wallet except for staking

• Unstaking always available (no provider can block)

• Grace periods prevent accidental access loss

Slashing Protection: We mitigate slashing risk through:

• Validator diversification (spread across 5+ validators)

• Real-time monitoring for poor validator performance

• Automatic rebalancing away from underperforming validators

• Insurance pool (funded by protocol fees) covers slashing events
