Security Guidelines

This document outlines the security requirements and guidelines for DataHive's Core Protocol smart contract interactions and token handling mechanisms.

Overview

Security is fundamental to the DataHive protocol infrastructure. These guidelines ensure the safety and integrity of protocol operations, smart contract interactions, and token handling across the entire ecosystem.

Smart Contract Security

Token Economics Security

// Protocol-Level Security Requirements
stake():
  - Input validation
  - Balance verification
  - Reentrancy guard implementation
  - Event emission verification
  - Gas limit enforcement: <= 120,000 gas

unstake():
  - Lockup period validation
  - Balance verification
  - Reentrancy protection
  - Event emission checks
  - Gas limit enforcement: <= 100,000 gas

claimRewards():
  - Reward calculation verification
  - Double-claim prevention
  - State update validation
  - Event emission checks
  - Gas limit enforcement: <= 150,000 gas

Protocol Access Control

  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Multi-signature governance
  • Time-lock mechanisms
  • Emergency pause functionality
  • Upgrade mechanisms

Layer 2 Security Considerations

AltLayer-Specific Security

  • Restaked rollup security verification
  • Cross-layer message verification
  • Bridge security protocols
  • EigenLayer restaking validation

Data Availability

  • EigenDA integration checks
  • Data availability verification
  • State root validation

Token Security

Supported Assets (Testnet1)

// Protocol-Wide Token Requirements
ETH:
  - Native L2 transaction validation
  - Gas limit monitoring
  - Value overflow protection

USDC, USDT:
  - ERC20 compliance verification
  - Allowance validation
  - Balance checks
  - Decimal handling

BTC (Wrapped):
  - Wrapper contract validation
  - Custody verification
  - Bridge security checks

Protocol Security

Transaction Validation

  • Input sanitization

  • Recovery mechanisms

Cross-Chain Security

Bridge Operations

  • Message verification
  • State synchronization
  • Rollback procedures

Asset Transfer Security

  • Bridge limit enforcement
  • Cross-chain verification
  • Asset lockup validation
  • Reconciliation checks

Monitoring Requirements

Security Monitoring

Real-time Monitoring:
  - Transaction patterns
  - Gas usage anomalies
  - Error frequencies
