Ostrich is engineered with a security-first mindset. As a fully onchain, permissionless platform for real-world assets and global market access, we recognize that trust in DeFi begins with robust, transparent, and resilient infrastructure. Below are the core risk vectors we proactively address — along with how we mitigate them:

​
🧠 Smart Contract Risk

Every interaction on Ostrich happens through smart contracts. This means smart contract integrity is paramount.
Our approach:
  • All contracts undergo independent security audits from industry-leading firms prior to mainnet deployment.
  • We maintain an open bug bounty program to incentivize whitehat disclosures.
  • Contracts are modular and upgradeable only through multi-sig governance with time delays, ensuring no single point of failure.
  • Ongoing monitoring is done via Watchdog infrastructure that flags anomalies in trade execution, volume surges, or contract interactions.

​
📉 Oracle Manipulation Risk

Asset pricing on Ostrich is driven by high-integrity oracles and custom decentralized aggregators. However, if an oracle is delayed or manipulated, pricing discrepancies could lead to unfair liquidations.
Our approach:
  • Multi-source aggregation ensures pricing isn’t reliant on a single feed.
  • Outlier rejection logic and anchor price systems are built into our oracle adapters.
  • In the rare case of oracle deviation beyond acceptable thresholds, trading and liquidations are temporarily disabled until corrected.

​
🔌 Dependency Risk (Infrastructure Partners)

Ostrich integrates with multiple infrastructure providers — from wallet adapters to data analytics and index providers. If any of these fail, the user experience or security of the protocol could be compromised.
Our approach:
  • Each integration partner is selected based on uptime SLA, decentralization guarantees, and response times.
  • Ostrich uses in-house fallback services for essential infrastructure like trade routing, price caching, and session recovery.
  • Fund transfers and withdrawals leverage a multi-layer bridge architecture designed to recover from downtime without exposing user assets.

​
🚀 Our Commitment

Security is not a feature — it’s a foundation.
As we scale Ostrich into the most capital-efficient exchange in DeFi, we remain vigilant about emerging threats while delivering a world-class trading experience without compromise The future of finance must be trustless — and Ostrich is proud to lead the charge.
