Security & Governance

Trust is the currency of the Agent Economy. Our security architecture ensures robustness against both external attacks and internal centralization risks.

8. Security Architecture

8.1 The Fortress Framework

While the AI Treasurer provides flexibility and intelligence, the security of the protocol cannot rely solely on probabilistic models. We have implemented a hybrid security architecture called "Fortress," which enforces deterministic code-level guardrails.

  • Peg Defense Mechanisms: Automated "Supply Halt" if price < $0.99 and "Protocol Buyback" if price < $0.98.
  • Slippage Protection: Strict on-chain checks (Aerodrome Router) ensuring max 1% slippage for any AI-initiated trade.
  • Immutable Core: The 1:1 backing requirement is hardcoded in the smart contract and cannot be altered by admin keys.

8.2 Integration Security

Chainlink CCIP: Used for secure cross-chain token transfers, mitigating proprietary bridge risks.

Chainlink VRF: Ensures cryptographically provable randomness for the Fortune Vault, preventing manipulation.

8.3 Upgradeability Strategy

To ensure the protocol can evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing Agent Economy, we adhere to an upgradeable contract architecture for Phase 1.

  • UUPS (Universal Upgradeable Proxy Standard): We utilize the gas-efficient UUPS pattern (ERC-1822) which places upgrade logic in the implementation contract, allowing us to fix critical bugs or remove the upgrade capability entirely in the future.
  • Phase 1 (Bootstrapping): Upgrades are managed by the Core Team's secure multi-signature wallet to allow for rapid iteration and feature additions.
  • Phase 2 (Decentralization): The `upgradeTo` authority will be transferred to the AGTR DAO Governor contract, meaning no code changes can occur without a successful community vote.

9. Testing Strategy

Our codebase undergoes a rigorous testing regimen to ensure correctness and safety before any deployment. The testing suite covers 100% of the critical path logic.

Unit Testing

Granular tests for every function in the smart contracts using Hardhat.

  • Rebase precision checks (down to 1 wei)
  • Access control verification
  • Error condition validation

Integration Testing

Simulating complex interactions on a local fork of the Base network.

  • AI Treasurer sweep simulations
  • Multi-hop swap execution
  • Fortune Vault lottery cycles

9.1 Example: Peg Defense Test

We simulate catastrophic market crashes in our test environment to verify the "Fortress" response.

it("Should fail to mint when price is below $0.99", async function () {

// Mock the Oracle to return $0.98

await mockOracle.setPrice(98000000);

// Attempt minting

await expect(

agentTresor.mint(amount)

).to.be.revertedWith("PegProtection: Price too low");

});
