# Security & Audits

## Overview

The security and safety of our users' funds is our highest priority.

Perpetual Protocol is one of the most lindy teams in Defi, with our first DEX launched in Dec 2020. The team has been doxxed from day one, and both cofounders are known in the local Taiwanese startup scene.

Code audits have been carried out on a rolling basis since the second half of 2020, and continue to this day for each point release.

## Audits

Audits of Perp v3 were performed in collaboration with Sherlock.

## Bug Bounty

We run bug bounties via ImmuneFi, and also welcome whitehats to contact us directly for any bug that is out of scope or if you have any other suggestions or concerns.

ImmuneFi: <https://immunefi.com/bounty/perpetual/>

Direct contact: [Contact us](/nekodex-playground/all-about-perp/contact-us.md)

## DAO Security Entity

A DAO entity was set up in in May, 2023, to handle all aspects of protocol security and ensure stable funding for audits, bounties and other security efforts. Please see [Governance](/nekodex-playground/all-about-perp/project-overview/governance.md#security-entity-se).
