OrbitYield Security Practices

Learn about our comprehensive security measures and best practices to keep your assets safe.

Platform Security Overview

At OrbitYield, security is our highest priority. Our platform is built with multiple layers of protection to safeguard your assets and data.

Non-Custodial Architecture

OrbitYield operates on a non-custodial model, meaning we never take control of your private keys or assets. All transactions require your explicit approval through your connected wallet.

Security Audits

All smart contracts deployed by OrbitYield undergo rigorous security audits by leading blockchain security firms. Audit reports are publicly available for complete transparency.

Risk Assessment Framework

Our proprietary risk assessment framework evaluates all integrated protocols and yield strategies based on 50+ security factors before they're added to the platform.

Emergency Safety Mechanisms

OrbitYield implements emergency circuit breakers, pausable contracts, and other safety mechanisms that can be activated in case of detected exploits or vulnerabilities.

Security by Design

Security isn't an afterthought at OrbitYield—it's built into every aspect of our platform from the ground up. Our development process follows security by design principles with multiple review stages and checks before any code is deployed to production.

Smart Contract Security

Smart contracts are the backbone of OrbitYield's functionality. We implement industry-leading practices to ensure their security.

Audited Code

All OrbitYield smart contracts undergo comprehensive security audits by multiple independent security firms, including:

CertiK
ChainSecurity
OpenZeppelin
Trail of Bits

Audit reports are published on our Security Audits page for complete transparency.

Code Quality

Our smart contract development follows strict quality standards:

Use of battle-tested libraries like OpenZeppelin
Strict adherence to ERC standards
Comprehensive test coverage (95%+)
Formal verification of critical components
Gas optimization without compromising security

Security Features

Key security features in our smart contracts include:

Reentrancy protection for all fund-handling functions
Circuit breakers to pause operations in emergencies
Role-based access control for administrative functions
Protection against common attack vectors (front-running, sandwich attacks, etc.)
Secure randomness implementation where required

Transparent Governance

Our governance model ensures secure and transparent protocol management:

Multi-signature wallets for all treasury and critical operations
Timelock delays on all parameter changes
On-chain governance for protocol upgrades
Emergency Council for rapid response to security incidents

Continuous Monitoring

Our security team maintains 24/7 monitoring of all deployed contracts and integrated protocols. We use advanced anomaly detection systems to identify unusual activity patterns that could indicate potential security issues, allowing for immediate response.

User Data & Wallet Security

We take the security of your personal data and wallet connections seriously, implementing robust measures to protect your information.

Secure Connection Storage

When you connect your MetaMask wallet to OrbitYield, your connection information is securely stored in our database:

Wallet addresses are associated with user IDs
Connection timestamps are recorded for security audit purposes
We never store or have access to your private keys
All sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit

Controlled Disconnection

Our wallet management system includes a secure disconnection process:

Wallet disconnection requires explicit user request
Administrative approval for wallet removal prevents unauthorized disconnection
Email notifications for all connection status changes
Comprehensive audit trail of all connection activities

Role-Based Access Control

Our platform implements strict role-based access control:

Regular users can only access their own wallet data
Administrative functions are strictly limited to authorized personnel
Principle of least privilege applied throughout the system
Multi-factor authentication for administrative access

Data Protection

Your personal data is protected through:

End-to-end encryption for all communications
HTTPS-only connections with modern TLS protocols
Regular security assessments and penetration testing
Compliance with relevant data protection regulations

Connection Security Notice

For your security, wallet connections on OrbitYield can only be removed through our formal removal request process, which requires administrative approval. This prevents unauthorized actors from disconnecting your wallet and potentially compromising your assets or account access.

Emergency Features

OrbitYield includes robust emergency features to protect user funds in case of detected security threats.

Emergency Pause

All critical smart contracts include an emergency pause mechanism that can:

Temporarily halt deposits and strategy migrations
Be activated by the security council if a vulnerability is detected
Protect user funds while allowing withdrawals to continue

The emergency pause can only be activated by a multi-signature process requiring approval from multiple security council members, ensuring it cannot be triggered maliciously.

Emergency Withdrawal

In extreme situations, OrbitYield provides an emergency withdrawal function that:

Allows users to withdraw their funds directly from strategies
Bypasses standard withdrawal processes if they're compromised
Prioritizes fund security over gas efficiency

Instructions for using the emergency withdrawal feature would be provided through official communication channels in case it's ever needed.

Strategy Isolation

OrbitYield's architecture isolates strategies from each other to:

Prevent contagion effects if one strategy is compromised
Allow for granular pausing of specific strategies
Maintain overall platform stability even if individual components face issues

Security Incident Response

Our security team follows a comprehensive incident response plan that includes:

24/7 monitoring for unusual activity
Predefined response procedures for different threat levels
Clear communication protocols to keep users informed
Coordination with external security researchers and audit firms

User Security Best Practices

While OrbitYield implements robust security measures, users play a critical role in maintaining the security of their assets. Follow these best practices to enhance your security:

Wallet Security

Use a hardware wallet (like Ledger or Trezor) for large investments
Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone
Store your recovery phrase offline in a secure location
Consider using a separate dedicated wallet for DeFi activities
Keep your wallet software and firmware updated

Account Security

Use a strong, unique password for your OrbitYield account
Enable two-factor authentication when available
Use a secure email address for platform communications
Regularly review your connected applications and revoke unused connections
Log out from your account when not using the platform

Transaction Safety

Always verify transaction details before confirming
Check smart contract addresses against official sources
Start with small amounts when using new features
Be wary of unusually high gas fees, which may indicate malicious transactions
Never rush transactions—take time to review what you're approving

Phishing Prevention

Always double-check the URL (orbityield.cc) before connecting your wallet
Bookmark the official OrbitYield website instead of using search engines
Be suspicious of unsolicited messages, emails, or offers
OrbitYield team will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys
Verify information through official channels before taking action

Warning Signs

Be alert for these potential security red flags:

Requests to share your seed phrase or private keys (legitimate DApps never need these)
Unusual wallet connection requests or permission requests
Transactions that appear without your initiation
Website interfaces that look different from normal
Unusually high fees or unexpected token approvals

If you notice any of these warning signs, disconnect your wallet immediately and contact our support team.
