Oxygen, a DeFi prime brokerage service built on Solana and powered by Serum’s on-chain infrastructure, announced today it has signed a strategic agreement under which Kudelski Security, a division of the Kudelski Group in Switzerland, will provide security assessment and architecture support for the platform.
Soon, Kudelski will conduct a series of reviews and audits of Oxygen’s functionality and interfaces. Meanwhile, Kudelski will have an ongoing collaboration with Oxygen to assess future enhancements, changes, or additions to Oxygen’s protocol.
“Institutions and individual investors have a right to expect that they can trust the quality, reliability, and stability of the Oxygen ecosystem. For Oxygen, this partnership provides transparency, promotes absolute confidence that the protocol does precisely what it promises and demonstrates its security; all based on a thorough assessment by a leading global expert in cybersecurity.”
– Viktor Mangazeev, Co-Founder of Oxygen
Audit Focus
Most importantly, the Kudelski Security team will perform a source code assessment, architecture review, and architecture verification of the Oxygen.org finance system.
Firstly, special attention will be focused on the contracts mechanism, finance logic, yields, borrowing, lending, and leverage mechanisms, as well as other related funds safety considerations
Moreover, verification analyses will confirm that formulas, cryptographic/mathematic, etc. in the software faithfully implement the specified intent of the protocol. Testing will also include a dynamic examination of key financial risk scenarios such as edge situations, liquidity events, and more.
“I’m very excited to be working with Oxygen on this series of engagements. It is important to show strategic leadership in promoting cybersecurity. Comparable traditional businesses have years of audits and tests; and the emerging ecosystems must put their best foot forward to build the trust of users and environmental partners.”
– Scott Carlson, Head of Blockchain Security for Kudelski Security
Oxygen is built on the growing and liquid Serum ecosystem; which leverages an on-chain orderbook to match borrowers and lenders to provide fair rates. Currently, Solana processes up to 50,000 transactions per second. Each transaction costs just $0.00001, and Solana plans to further scale these capabilities.
