🔒 Technical & Security Standards

🎯 Ensuring Secure & Efficient Smart Contracts

For a project to qualify for Siriux Developer Incentives, it must adhere to strict technical and security standards. These guidelines help maintain the integrity of the Siriux ecosystem by ensuring that smart contracts and dApps deployed on the network are secure, efficient, and scalable.

Security and performance are non-negotiable—meet these standards to be eligible for rewards.

✅ Mandatory Technical Standards

All projects must comply with the following technical criteria:

🔹 Smart Contract Efficiency

✅ Code must be optimized for gas efficiency, reducing unnecessary computational overhead.
✅ Smart contracts should avoid infinite loops, redundant calls, and excessive storage usage.
✅ Use of best practices for contract modularity and upgradeability is encouraged.

🔹 Blockchain Compatibility & Interoperability

✅ Contracts must be fully compatible with the Siriux Virtual Machine (SVM).
✅ Support for cross-chain functionality will be given additional incentives.
✅ APIs should follow standardized request-response formats to ensure integration with other dApps.

🔹 Open-Source & Documentation Requirements

✅ The core components of the project must be open-source or reviewable.
✅ Documentation must include a clear README, API references, and developer guides.
✅ Smart contract repositories should follow clean coding standards and include unit tests.

Projects that optimize efficiency and maintain compatibility will rank higher in incentive evaluations.

🔒 Security Best Practices

To prevent vulnerabilities and ensure the safety of user funds, all projects must implement robust security measures:

🔹 Smart Contract Auditing

✅ Projects must undergo internal security reviews before deployment.
✅ External audits from recognized security firms (e.g., CertiK, OpenZeppelin, Hacken) are recommended.
✅ Developers must use formal verification tools and fuzz testing to detect vulnerabilities.

🔹 Common Vulnerabilities to Avoid

❌ Reentrancy attacks – Ensure contracts use the checks-effects-interactions pattern.
❌ Integer overflows/underflows – Implement SafeMath or native overflow protections.
❌ Unauthorized access – Use role-based access controls (RBAC) and authentication mechanisms.
❌ External call risks – Avoid making external contract calls without proper validation.

🔹 Bug Bounty Participation

✅ High-risk projects must participate in Siriux’s Bug Bounty Program before final launch.
✅ Rewards will be adjusted for projects that proactively address security risks before exploitation.

Security is a top priority—projects that demonstrate strong protections will receive higher funding opportunities.

🔄 Compliance & Verification Process

To verify compliance, projects must complete a technical and security evaluation:

✅ Submit technical specifications, gas optimization reports, and API documentation.
✅ Pass initial contract review and stress testing on Siriux testnet.
✅ Complete a security audit or provide third-party verification.
✅ Ensure smart contracts are immutable unless upgradeability is explicitly designed.

Only verified, secure, and scalable projects will qualify for developer incentives.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Projects failing to meet security standards will not be eligible for funding.
• High-risk contracts (financial or custodial) must undergo rigorous external auditing.
• Non-compliant smart contracts may be blacklisted from future incentive programs.

Follow the best practices, build secure contracts, and unlock the full potential of Siriux incentives!
