# Security & Fairness

> How RNDRNTWRK protects participants, verifies engagement, and makes payouts legible

## Overview

RNDRNTWRK uses cryptographic proofs and on-chain transparency to protect participants across games, payouts, and campaign execution.

## Implementation Status

Not all security measures are live today. The following breakdown clarifies what is currently active and what is planned.

### Live

| Measure                     | Description                                                        |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Switchboard VRF lottery** | Verifiable Random Function for all lottery and draw-based events   |
| **PDA escrow**              | Program Derived Address accounts hold funds during game resolution |
| **Merkle distributions**    | Efficient weekly reward claims with on-chain proof verification    |
| **Ed25519 VAP signatures**  | Verified Action Proofs sign each game action to prevent tampering  |
| **Anti-spam rate limiting** | Request throttling and reputation scoring to prevent abuse         |

### Planned

| Measure                                   | Target                                                              |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Full on-chain game state verification** | Move complete game state proofs on-chain for trustless verification |
| **cNFT audit trails**                     | Compressed NFTs as immutable records of game outcomes and payouts   |
| **Decentralized dispute resolution**      | Community-driven arbitration for contested results                  |

<Info>
  Planned features are part of the progressive decentralization roadmap. Timelines will be announced as development milestones are reached.

## Randomness & Game Resolution

* Switchboard VRF for lottery and draw-based events
* Commit-reveal where appropriate (pre-committed hashes, later reveals)
* Timestamped event logs and deterministic resolution rules

### Verifying VRF Lottery Fairness

Users can independently verify that lottery outcomes were generated fairly using on-chain VRF proofs:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Locate the Transaction">
    Find the lottery settlement transaction on a Solana block explorer (e.g., Solscan, Solana Explorer) using the transaction signature published after the draw.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Inspect the VRF Account">
    The transaction references a Switchboard VRF account. Open this account to view the randomness request and the resulting proof.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the Proof">
    Confirm that the VRF proof is valid, the on-chain program verifies the proof at execution time. The randomness value, combined with the deterministic resolution rules, should reproduce the published outcome.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Payouts & Escrow

* PDA escrow accounts hold funds during resolution
* Merkle root distributions enable efficient claims and verification
* Public receipts with winner lists and amounts

## Safeguards & Controls

* Anti-manipulation: bet caps, rate limits, reputation scoring
* Circuit breakers for abnormal conditions and upgrades
* Multi-signature controls for sensitive operations

## Audits & Monitoring

* Independent security reviews (see [sw4p's 5 audit results](https://sw4p.com) for completed assessments)
* Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection
* Public reporting and transparency dashboards

<Warning>
  Security audits reduce risk but do not eliminate it. Smart contracts may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities. Users should only participate with funds they can afford to lose.
</Warning>

## Incident Response

* Triage, disclosure, remediation timelines
* Community updates and postmortems
