Beyond smart contract audits, the Altitude protocol employs a variety of additional security measures.
Threat monitoring
We've implemented Hypernative's real-time threat monitoring system. Hypernative monitors for suspicious activity, potential exploits, and abnormal transaction patterns across the protocol. If a threat is detected, automated responses can pause affected functions to protect user funds. This provides an additional security layer beyond smart contract audits.
The rate limit is a security consideration that can limit the impact of any possible exploits. It controls how much can be extracted from the protocol at any time. It works by setting both:
an amount that can be extracted and
the period this amount can be extracted within
The mechanism of the rate limit allows the entire amount to be withdrawn at the beginning of the period and with time passing the amount is increasing linearly.
