FlashStack takes security seriously. As a flash loan protocol handling valuable assets, we prioritize the security of our smart contracts and the safety of our users' funds.

• Atomic Transactions: All flash loans execute atomically - if repayment fails, the entire transaction reverts
• No Custody: FlashStack never holds user funds
• Collateral Verification: All collateral checks happen on-chain via PoX-4
• Zero Inflation: Guaranteed by atomic mint-burn cycles

• ⏳ Status: Pending audit (scheduled Q1 2026)
• 🧪 Testing: 100% success rate across 8 receiver contracts
• 📊 Volume Tested: 27M sBTC processed without failures

We appreciate responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities.

For critical vulnerabilities (affecting funds or protocol operation):

1. DO NOT create a public GitHub issue
2. Contact us privately via:
   • Twitter DM: @FlashStackBTC
   • Email: [Coming soon - check repository for updates]

For non-critical issues (documentation, minor bugs):

• Create a public issue on GitHub

Please provide:

• Description of the vulnerability
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Potential impact (severity assessment)
• Suggested fix (if you have one)
• Your contact information for follow-up

We are committed to responding quickly:

• 🔄 Status: Coming Soon (Q1 2026)
• 💰 Rewards: Based on severity and impact
• 📋 Scope: All smart contracts in /contracts directory

• Critical: Up to 10,000 STX or equivalent sBTC
• High: Up to 5,000 STX
• Medium: Up to 1,000 STX
• Low: Recognition + swag

Exact amounts TBD and dependent on fundraising success

1. Verify Contract Addresses

   • Always verify you're interacting with official FlashStack contracts
   • Check contract addresses on our official docs

2. Test Small Amounts First

   • Start with small flash mint amounts
   • Verify everything works before scaling up

3. Understand Risks

   • Flash loans require technical knowledge
   • Ensure your receiver contract is thoroughly tested
   • Failed repayments revert entire transactions

4. Review Receiver Contracts

   • Audit any receiver contract before using it
   • Test extensively on devnet/testnet first
   • Be cautious with third-party receivers

1. Implement Flash Receiver Trait

   (impl-trait .flash-receiver-trait.flash-receiver-trait)

2. Always Repay Loan + Fee

   (let ((fee (/ (* amount u50) u10000)))
    ;; Your logic here
    (try! (contract-call? .sbtc-token transfer 
    (+ amount fee) borrower (as-contract tx-sender) none))
   )

3. Validate Inputs

   (asserts! (> amount u0) err-invalid-amount)

4. Test Thoroughly

   • Test on devnet first
   • Simulate edge cases
   • Test with large amounts
   • Verify fee calculations

5. Handle Errors Gracefully

   • Use descriptive error codes
   • Return clear error messages
   • Test failure scenarios

• Smart Contracts Overview
• Integration Guide
• Developer Documentation

• Clarity Security Guidelines
• Stacks Blockchain Security
• DeFi Security Best Practices

When a vulnerability is fixed:

1. Private Fix: Develop and test fix in private repository
2. Review: Internal code review
3. Deploy: Deploy to testnet for verification
4. Notify: Contact vulnerability reporter
5. Public Release: Release fix to mainnet
6. Disclosure: Publish security advisory
7. Recognition: Credit reporter (if desired)

We support security researchers who:

• Act in good faith
• Follow responsible disclosure
• Don't exploit vulnerabilities
• Don't access/modify user data
• Don't perform DoS attacks

We will not pursue legal action against security researchers who follow these guidelines.
