# Security Hypertrade is fully non-custodial and permissionless. Users interact directly with the protocol's smart contracts, and no third party ever takes custody of their assets. All swaps, liquidity deposits, and withdrawals happen entirely on-chain, following deterministic rules encoded in the AMM. #### Core security principles * Immutable AMM logic - The core smart-contract logic cannot be altered after deployment, ensuring predictable and verifiable behavior. * Transparent reserves - All token balances inside pools are visible on-chain at all times. Anyone can independently verify liquidity, fees, and swap outcomes. * No privileged execution paths - There are no admin keys or special accounts that can alter pricing, move user funds, or bypass normal pool logic. * Continuous auditing of smart contracts - Smart contracts are subject to ongoing review and external audits to detect and minimize potential vulnerabilities. #### Result Users always retain full control over their assets, interacting directly with verifiable, permissionless smart contracts rather than intermediaries. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
