How Ostrich Protects Users and Assets
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 β along with how we mitigate them:
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.
Asset pricing on Ostrich is driven by high-integrity oracles like Chainlink 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 isnβt 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.
Ostrich integrates with multiple infrastructure providers β 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.
Security is not a feature β itβs 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 β and Ostrich is proud to lead the charge.
