Overview
How Superlend approaches security, audits, and risk management.
Security is a core consideration in how Superlend is designed, built, and operated.
Superlend is a non-custodial protocol that enables users to interact with onchain markets, vaults, and strategies. User funds are always held in smart contracts, and Superlend never takes custody of assets.
This section outlines how security is approached across the protocol, what protections are in place, and what risks remain.
Core Security Principles
Superlend’s security model is built around the following principles:
Non-Custodial by Design User assets remain in smart contracts at all times. Superlend cannot access or move user funds arbitrarily.
Protocol-Native Integrations Where possible, Superlend relies on established, audited DeFi primitives rather than custom-built financial logic.
Minimal Custom Logic Superlend introduces only the logic required for orchestration, automation, and configuration. Core financial operations rely on battle-tested protocols.
Transparency All contracts, interactions, and positions are onchain and publicly verifiable.
Scope of Responsibility
Security on Superlend spans multiple layers:
Smart contract correctness
Oracle reliability
Risk parameters and market configuration
Strategy design for vaults
However, not all risks can be eliminated. Users remain exposed to market risk, smart contract risk, and protocol dependency risk.
What Security Does Not Mean
Security does not imply:
Guaranteed returns
Absence of market risk
Protection from all losses
Insurance against adverse conditions
Users should always understand the product they are interacting with.
