How Austin
secures your experience.
Austin is a decentralised protocol that operates via smart contracts. Errors in the code can introduce vulnerabilities, so the smart contracts have been audited, and there are 24-hour withdrawal limits for each core smart contract.
Security is a process, not a destination. Audits and withdrawal limits reduce the risk of smart contract exploits, but there’s always a risk. Invest only what you can afford to lose.
Audited smart contracts
The Austin smart contracts have been audited multiple times. Hashlock completed the last audit in October 2024.
Withdrawal limits
To reduce the damage of an exploit, the smart contracts include a withdrawal limit for each asset which resets every 24 hours.
