Security Partners

Avant Protocol's security strategy involves collaboration with a curated selection of industry-leading firms. Our approach is to work with multiple best-in-class security vendors, with each providing specialized expertise to cover different threat models and add compounding layers of security.

To demonstrate our approach, this page provides an overview of several notable partners and their roles within our multi-layered defense framework.

Data & Infrastructure Partners

Avant Protocol works in a strategic partnership with Chainlink, leveraging its industry-leading services across multiple areas of the protocol to enhance security, transparency, and interoperability.

• Cross-Chain Interoperability (CCIP): All official bridging of Avant Protocol tokens between different blockchains will be exclusively powered by Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). As the industry standard for secure cross-chain communication, CCIP ensures the integrity of Avant's assets as they move between networks.

• Data Feeds for Yield-Bearing Tokens: To support seamless integration into the broader DeFi ecosystem, Avant plans to launch Chainlink Data Feeds for all its savTokens, providing a reliable on-chain source for their exchange rates.

• Proof of Reserve (PoR): Avant is actively developing a Proof of Reserve mechanism to be powered by Chainlink. This planned implementation will provide automated, on-chain verification of the assets backing protocol tokens, bringing a new level of transparency to the ecosystem.

• Price Feeds: The Avant application utilizes Chainlink Price Feeds as its primary oracle to display accurate, real-time market data for core assets. The following Chainlink Price Feeds are used on the Avalanche Mainnet:

  • BTC-USD

  • USDC-USD

Smart Contract & OPSEC Auditing Partners

To ensure the integrity of our onchain code and operational procedures, we engage with top-tier auditing firms.

• Omniscia & Dedaub: These firms have conducted comprehensive audits of the Avant Protocol smart contracts to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities ahead of deployment.

• Trail of Bits: Engaged for ongoing operational security (OPSEC) audits, Trail of Bits continuously reviews our internal processes, infrastructure, and security practices to protect against evolving threats.

Explore our full audit reports on the Contract and OPSEC Audits page.

Asset Custody & Management Partners

The security of protocol-managed assets is paramount. We utilize institutional-grade custody solutions to eliminate single points of failure and ensure safe asset management.

• Fireblocks & FORDEFI: These partners provide the underlying technology for our Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallets. MPC technology secures digital assets by splitting private key shares, which removes central points of failure and enhances resilience against attacks.

Learn how the technology from these partners is implemented on Secure Asset Management page.

Real-Time Monitoring Partners

To proactively defend against onchain threats, the protocol employs continuous monitoring services.

• Hypernative: Provides 24/7 real-time monitoring and threat intelligence for the protocol's onchain activity and integrated third-party protocols. This enables a rapid response to potential exploits or anomalous behavior.
