What is the biggest fear in DeFi investment? Assets evaporate overnight. Smart contract vulnerabilities, hacker attacks, platform跑路——these are common stories in the industry and are also the reasons many people stay away from DeFi.

Lista DAO has been thinking from the very beginning about how to keep these risks out. The security system they built is essentially multiple layers of defense, each more strict than the last.

Let's start with the first layer. All contract code is open source, so you can review it if you want. Behind the scenes, experienced blockchain engineers and cryptography experts have refined it repeatedly. Moreover, the team has adopted "formal verification"—a mathematical tool that essentially uses rigorous logical proofs to ensure the code is free of vulnerabilities. Every upgrade and iteration must pass the scrutiny of top global auditing firms before going live. With these layers of checks, the chances of vulnerabilities slipping in are minimal.

Now, the second layer. Users' assets are not stored on the platform but directly in their own wallet addresses. The platform cannot access or move these assets, naturally preventing the risk of assets being stolen from centralized platforms. Decentralized custody sounds advanced, but it simply means returning control to the users—that's the true essence of DeFi.

Security is not just a technical issue; it's also a trust issue. Clarifying these two layers of defense is essential to confidently operate within DeFi.
