Ember Protocol was incubated by a team that has built battle-tested infrastructure, managing over $300M in assets with zero security incidents in over 4 years of operating. Security at Ember begins with code and extends into process. Assurance is continuous, not point in time. * Multiple independent full audits completed by OtterSec and Asymptotic (all listed in our [security page](https://ember.so/security)) * Formal verification to mathematically prove key invariants (available [here](https://ember.asymptotic.tech/vaults/)) * Continuous retainer partnerships with OtterSec and Asymptotic, meaning no new code ships without their review of pull requests. * Active bug bounty partnership with HackenProof ([Bug Bounty](https://hackenproof.com/programs/ember-vaults-smart-contracts)) * Secure development life-cycle with mandatory peer review, automated invariant testing, and CI/CD integration. This model replaces point-in-time audits with an active assurance loop. The same engineers and security teams stay engaged across the entire development life-cycle, ensuring every release inherits the context of the last. We extend that philosophy beyond code through layered defense and containment. Risk is modelled across smart contract, market, integration, operational, and user domains, each with built-in circuit breakers that enforce limits, delay withdrawals, validate oracles, and trigger alerts. This creates mechanical containment: when anomalies occur, the system remains controlled, visible, and recoverable. Real-time monitoring through Guardrail ensures that every invariant and circuit breaker is continuously observed and acted upon, transforming potential threats into manageable events. Finally, Ember curates what it connects to. Only audited, battle-tested protocols and proven institutional curators like RockawayX and Third Eye are approved. Transparency completes the loop: public audits, formal verification reports, live monitoring dashboards, verified builds, and an open bug bounty. Security at Ember is not promised; it’s proven, visible, and continuously verified. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://learn.ember.so/ember-protocol/security.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
