# Security & Risk Framework

LoopedETH adheres to institutional-grade security by combining robust protocols, multi-layer oversight, and swift emergency response.

1. **Protocol Security Measures**

* Integration is limited to protocols thoroughly audited and approved by the strategy committee.
* Real-time monitoring catches anomalies immediately, triggering an emergency response within 30 minutes.
* We only integrate protocols with direct partnerships to ensure clear communication and reliable oversight.

2. **Strategy Security Measures**

* Every proposed strategy is formally reviewed and approved by the committee prior to deployment.
* We eliminate depeg risks by relying exclusively on lending protocols that use on-chain exchange ratios.
* No dollar-based leverage is employed, reducing exposure to currency fluctuations.

3. **Operational Security Measures**

* Ultimate custody of user funds remains within the smart contract, preventing any external party from accessing assets.
* Updates to vault configurations require a multi-signature process, involving team members from both Nucleus and Staking Rewards.
* Every signatory must remain accessible within a 30-minute window for timely execution of critical changes.
* The Risk Curator has only access to whitelisted smart contract functions from the Strategy Committee, and never has access to any funds.
