Privacy & Security

Multi-Layer Security

Privacy Protection

  • Encrypted Intents: Your trading plans are hidden from front-runners

  • Time-Bounded Access: Solvers can only view intents during active auction periods

  • Automatic Revocation: Access permissions expire after execution

Trusted Computation

  • TEE Verification: All AI ranking happens in hardware-secured environments

  • Attestation Proofs: Cryptographic verification that computation was performed correctly

  • Reproducible Results: Rankings can be independently verified

Economic Security

  • Solver Staking: Solvers must stake capital to participate

  • Reputation System: Historical performance tracking incentivizes honest behavior

  • Slashing Mechanisms: Malicious solvers lose stake and reputation


Risk Mitigation

Front-Running Protection

Traditional MEV attacks are prevented through:

  • Intent encryption before submission

  • Batch execution that prevents order manipulation

  • Privacy-preserving solver access

Slippage Control

You maintain full control:

  • Set maximum acceptable slippage

  • Define price ranges for outputs

  • Automatic transaction reversal if conditions aren't met

Smart Contract Security

  • Modular architecture limits attack surface

  • Formal verification of critical components

  • Continuous security audits by leading firms


Understanding Risks

While Intenus implements comprehensive security measures, users should understand:

Smart Contract Risk: As with all DeFi protocols, smart contract bugs could potentially lead to loss of funds.

Market Risk: Intenus optimizes execution but cannot eliminate inherent market volatility.

Solver Risk: While economic incentives and reputation systems discourage malicious behavior, the solver network operates in a competitive environment.

Privacy Considerations: While intent content is encrypted, some metadata (timing, participants) may be observable on-chain.
