🔬 We have recently asked the team at OpenZeppelin to analyze the smart contracts that power Origin Dollar, including the vault and the yield-generating strategies. We are happy to report that after five weeks they did not find any major issues that could have resulted in a loss of funds for our users! Security is of the highest importance at Origin. These smart contracts represent the core of OUSD and are also the biggest attack vector for hackers and exploits. In addition to conducting our own internal audits, we have had external audits performed by some of the most reputable firms in the space, including Trail of Bits, Solidified, Certora, and now OpenZeppelin.
