The dHEDGE platform has been battle-tested through being live on Ethereum Mainnet since October 2020. The protocol has undergone multiple audits, see [Audits Timeline](https://docs.dhedge.org/security/audits-timeline) for the detailed list, and has a standing [bug bounty program](https://docs.dhedge.org/security/bug-bounty) with [Immunefi](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/dhedge/information/).

A feature of dHEDGE is Guarded Open Access Transactions (GOAT) which allow protocols and specific actions (contracts) to be whitelisted, such as staking or lending, without putting depositors capital at risk. Managers can only use these whitelisted contracts, as well as whitelisted assets, all other transactions will fail.
