Security

Audit Status

🟡 Automated Analysis Complete - Professional audit pending

Static Analysis (Slither): ✅ Complete Symbolic Execution (Mythril): ✅ Complete Professional Audit: 🔴 Pending Community Review: 🟢 Open and encouraged!

We welcome security researchers and auditors to review our contracts. If you find issues:

1. Critical vulnerabilities: Email security@x402hub.ai (do not open public issues)
2. Non-critical findings: Open a GitHub issue
3. Suggestions: Open a discussion

Known Considerations

• Backend wallet holds REGISTRAR_ROLE (centralized registration during testnet)
• Timelock delay: 48 hours (for testnet, will increase for mainnet)
• USDC used for payments (trusted stablecoin dependency)
• Upgradeable contracts via UUPS (admin key security critical)

Upgrade Authority

• Testnet: Deployer wallet (single-sig, for rapid iteration)
• Mainnet: Multi-sig + Timelock (TBD)
