# Security

Security is treated as a product feature, and that includes being transparent about its current scope.

#### **What has been audited.** 

The NEX token contract has been audited by an independent third-party security firm (CertiK). This audit covers the token contract specifically.

#### **What has not yet been audited.** 

The broader protocol and network-level components have not yet undergone a full independent audit. Additional security reviews are planned ahead of mainnet (see Roadmap). Until those are complete, Nexchain does not represent the full protocol as independently audited.

#### **Decentralization maturity.** 

Nexchain is at an early stage of decentralization. The network is being developed and operated by the core team, with progressive decentralization planned over time. This is disclosed deliberately: users and developers should make decisions with an accurate picture of the network's current maturity, not an idealized one.

This honest framing is intentional. A security posture that overstates what has been verified is itself a risk; clear disclosure of scope is part of how Nexchain intends to earn trust.
