Security and Compliance
Security and compliance are at the core of PegBreaker’s mission to deliver a safe and transparent decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. By combining trustless design, robust security measures, and community-driven governance, PegBreaker creates a sustainable and user-focused ecosystem. Below is a comprehensive overview of its approach:
Decentralized Governance and Trustless Design
Fully Decentralized Tokens: Both DPG (Dollar Peg Breaker) and DPB (DeFi PegBreaker) are fully decentralized, ensuring they cannot be blacklisted, frozen, or censored by any central authority. This provides users with complete ownership and autonomy over their assets.
Community-Controlled Governance: Governance decisions are made through the DAO, empowering DPB token holders to vote on proposals, allocate resources, and shape the protocol’s future. This ensures transparency and collective accountability.
Liquidity Security
Permanent Liquidity Lock: To eliminate the risk of rug pulls, 90% of PegBreaker’s liquidity is permanently locked on Uniswap. This ensures market stability and long-term trust in the ecosystem.
DAO Multisig Liquidity: The remaining 10% of liquidity is held in a DAO-controlled multisig wallet. The community votes on its use, primarily to support the peg during periods of volatility. No single party has control over this reserve, ensuring transparent fund management.
Smart Contract Security
Audits by Reputable Firms: PegBreaker collaborates with leading third-party auditors like Epsilon to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in its smart contracts. This proactive approach ensures robust security for users and the protocol.
Open-Source Codebase: The platform’s smart contracts are open-source, allowing the DeFi community to inspect, review, and contribute to its security. This transparency fosters trust and continuous improvement.
Compliance and Decentralized Operations
Regulatory Independence: PegBreaker minimizes reliance on centralized entities, reducing regulatory risks. The protocol operates entirely on decentralized infrastructure, ensuring users retain full control over their funds and activities.
No KYC Requirements: Users interact with PegBreaker exclusively through blockchain wallets. There is no requirement for personal information, preserving user privacy and aligning with the decentralized nature of DeFi.
Risk Mitigation and Peg Stability
Collateralized Peg Support: Minting DPG requires depositing DAI at 150% collateralization through MakerDAO strategies. This ensures that the system is adequately backed and minimizes risks of liquidation events.
Rewards and Peg Stability: Rewards for staking DPG are paused when its price falls below $1. This incentivizes users to stabilize the peg by holding or buying tokens.
Staking and Unstaking Mechanisms: Users staking DPG are subject to withdrawal schedules and slashing penalties if they unstake outside predefined windows. This discourages sudden liquidity withdrawals, promoting system stability.
Incident Response and Contingency Planning
Community-Approved Emergency Actions: Once the DAO is operational, all emergency actions require community approval through governance. Proposals are subject to a voting process, with a 7-day delay before implementation to ensure fairness and transparency. Before the DAO is live, the core team retains the authority to act swiftly in emergencies, provided such actions are in the best interests of the community. This ensures the protocol remains secure during the initial stages of development.
Time-Sensitive Exploit Responses: In the event of an exploit where time allows, PegBreaker will intervene to mitigate damage, provided the action aligns with community interests. Once the DAO is established, any such decisions must undergo the governance process, ensuring accountability.
Future Security Enhancements
Continuous Improvement: PegBreaker is committed to adopting cutting-edge security practices and regularly updating its infrastructure to stay ahead of emerging threats.
Collaborations with Experts: Ongoing partnerships with top-tier audit firms and security experts will ensure PegBreaker maintains the highest standards of safety and reliability.
