Audit History
Bug Bounty Program
Assessment
Leading cross-chain liquidity protocol on LayerZero. V2 is relatively young (22 months) but V1 track record is clean. Deep LayerZero dependency is both strength (shared security) and weakness (single point of failure). No exploits across either version.
Dimension Breakdown
How scores work →- LayerZero endpoint as security backbone
- Configurable security stack per pathway
- Multisig admin for pool parameters
- OFT standard for token bridging
- Unified liquidity pools across chains
- Credit-based system for cross-chain rebalancing
- Delta algorithm optimizes capital efficiency
- STG token incentives for liquidity provision
- LayerZero DVN (Decentralized Verifier Network) model
- Configurable verification threshold per pathway
- Multiple DVN options (Google Cloud, Polyhedra, etc.)
- No external price oracle dependency for bridging
- V2 live since mid-2024 (~22 months)
- V1 live since March 2022 (38 months), no protocol exploit
- LayerZero org since 2021
- 4+ audit firms across V1 and V2
- Z-factor: 0.709 (V2 age)
- Maximum resilience under independent adversarial testing
- Comprehensive security coverage across all attack surfaces
- Active bounty program incentivizes continuous scrutiny
- No validated adversarial findings — score set to neutral baseline
- Deep dependency on LayerZero messaging protocol
- Cross-chain pool composition across 15+ chains
- Relayer and executor dependencies
- OFT integrations multiply compositional surface
- STG token governance via Snapshot + on-chain execution
- LayerZero Labs retains significant infrastructure control
- Community proposals for pool parameters
- Emerging decentralization roadmap
- LayerZero DVN trust model is novel and less battle-tested
- Relayer liveness dependency for cross-chain messages
- Multi-chain pool rebalancing adds cross-chain attack surface
- Pathway-specific security configuration adds complexity
- Professional operations by Stargate Foundation
- Multi-chain monitoring and alerting
- Relayer health monitoring
- LayerZero infrastructure dependency for operations
- Appears in 1 cross-protocol cascade chain(s)
- Member of 2 dependency cluster(s)
- Score: 100/100 (higher = more isolated from systemic risk)
- Source: cross_protocol_composition.json dependency analysis
- LayerZero SDK as primary dependency
- Standard Solidity for EVM contracts
- Relayer and executor infrastructure dependencies
- Verified on all deployment chains
