Security & Audits

 Dusk is built for regulated finance, so we review its security from two directions. External reviewers have audited the protocol, node, cryptography and token contracts, and our internal security work keeps finding and fixing issues across the stack. Published reports are available in full in the dusk-network/audits repository.

Finding and fixing,
in the open
The AEGIS hard fork shipped fixes for 39 findings from our internal audit, 7 of them critical, and we published the analysis, covering what broke, how it could be exploited and what changed in the release. That internal review carries on alongside the third-party reports below. Our Boreas write-up covers a later issue in the shielded path and the releases that fixed it.
