Summary
The most critical subjects covered in our audit are integration with external protocols, DoS possibilities and functional correctness. The general subjects covered are upgradeability, gas efficiency and event emissions.
The most significant findings Broken clisBNB withdrawals and DoS by Donation have been corrected through code correction.
In summary, we find that the codebase provides a good level of security.
Moreover, we would like to highlight that it is necessary to make the assumptions described in Integration with Lista DAO to reliably integrate with the Lista DAO protocol. Failure to meet these assumptions could put Kernel user funds at risk.
It is important to note that security audits are time-boxed and cannot uncover all vulnerabilities. They complement but don't replace other vital measures to secure a project.
About Kernel Smart Contracts
Kernel DAO provides a token staking system that manages user assets within designated vaults. The contracts are upgradeable and form the basis for the development of a restaking protocol that KernelDAO ultimately plans to implement.
"Kernel is a premier restaking protocol maximizing staked assets' potential."
ChainSecurity set the gold standard with their meticulous and professional approach to auditing Kernel. Their in-depth analysis and unwavering attention to detail ensured every facet of our protocol was scrutinized and fortified. This audit is a testament to our shared commitment to top-tier security, solidifying Kernel’s standing as a reliable force in the industry. Kudos to the ChainSecurity team for their stellar work!
