🔒Security
At HyperCognition, security is not an afterthought — it’s the foundation of everything we build. Our intelligent agent infrastructure introduces new possibilities, but also new responsibilities. We approach security from three critical fronts: Smart Contracts, AI Agent Behavior, and User Protection.
Smart Contract Security
HyperCognition’s smart contracts undergo rigorous review and testing before deployment:
Third-Party Audits All core contracts (agent vaults, execution routers, staking, etc.) are audited by multiple top-tier firms before mainnet release.
Formal Verification (FV) High-stakes logic, including agent execution, rebalancing, and incentive emissions, is formally verified using FV tools to mathematically prove safety under all inputs.
Bug Bounty Program HyperCognition will launch a public bug bounty campaign (via Immunefi or similar) rewarding responsible disclosures across all chains and layers.
Modular Architecture Agent modules are isolated and upgradeable. If any agent type or strategy becomes deprecated or compromised, it can be disabled or replaced without impacting the rest of the system.
AI & Agent Safety
The rise of autonomous DeFi agents introduces unique risks — especially in behavior control, decision-making, and user trust.
HyperCognition mitigates these with the following safeguards:
Execution Constraints Each agent operates within a defined sandbox of logic, assets, and risk parameters. Agents cannot exceed their scope or access user funds directly.
Agent Transparency Layer Every decision an agent makes (e.g. buying, rebalancing, exiting) is visible in real-time with an interpretable logic trail, offering full explainability.
Whitelisting System New agents or agent types must pass community vetting or governance proposals to be deployed in the public marketplace.
Failsafes & Rate Limits Built-in cooldowns, execution limits, and guardrails prevent erratic or malicious behavior due to external manipulation or faulty logic.
User-Level Protection
Non-Custodial Architecture Users interact directly with audited smart contracts. Funds are always in their control unless actively allocated to a strategy.
Kill Switches & Emergency Withdrawals Every user has access to emergency controls to pause their agent or pull funds instantly in the event of system stress.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts On-chain monitoring systems track anomalies in agent behavior, price feeds, slippage, and strategy divergence — triggering alerts or auto-pauses when needed.
Open Source & Verifiability Smart contracts, agent templates, and governance logic will be open-source. Any member of the community can audit, inspect, or fork.
HyperCognition’s mission is to democratize intelligent finance — but that means securing it for every user, across every chain, at every level of experience. As agents grow smarter, security must grow stronger. We’re building toward a world where safety and innovation aren’t opposites — they’re partners.
