Audit Plans and Methodology

Security in DeFi begins with audited contracts. Amara inherits a strong foundation by forking from GMX V2, a system that has already been extensively reviewed by multiple third-party security firms. By starting from a proven base, Amara reduces the surface area for vulnerabilities and avoids many of the risks common to untested code.

In addition to the inherited audits from GMX, Amara has taken further steps to validate its unique components. The Dione Oracle contracts, which secure price feeds for synthetic carbon credits, were independently audited. This review covered both the core oracle infrastructure and the consumer-facing contracts that deliver Chainlink-style price data to trading modules. The focus of this audit was on:

• Accuracy of price aggregation and validation logic

• Protection against stale or manipulated submissions

• Upgradeable contract safety using OpenZeppelin standards

• Compatibility with future feed integrations

Amara’s methodology is to combine proven, audited base layers with specialized audits for new modules. By layering reviews in this way, the protocol ensures both the robustness of inherited code and the reliability of its unique innovations.

Future audits will continue as Amara expands. New features, such as the Green Basket Index or expanded synthetic markets, will be reviewed before deployment. This ensures that each stage of protocol growth is backed by the same level of scrutiny that underpins its launch.
