At RVA, security is not an afterthought—it's part of the blueprint. SmartChain is architected with layered defenses, clear isolation, and continuous review. Our approach blends internal best practices, external reviews, and public transparency to ensure the chain remains resilient under evolving threats.
Layered Defenses
Multiple security layers working in concert to protect against various threat vectors.
Clear Isolation
Proper separation of concerns and isolation between system components.
Continuous Review
Ongoing assessment and improvement of security measures and practices.
SmartChain is audited by credible third-party security auditors. Audit findings, scope, and certificates are publicly available. We commit to recurring audits and transparent disclosure.

SmartChain security is built in depth. From network layer protections to application-level defenses, we employ a multi-layer strategy to reduce risk, detect anomalies, and respond efficiently.
Network & Infrastructure Controls
Firewalls, segmentation, DDOS protection, WAF, encryption-in-transit and at rest, and hardened OS configurations.
Node & Validator Controls
Key isolation, rotation policies, operational separation, intrusion detection systems, and immutable logs.
Smart Contract & Code Security
Static and dynamic analysis, formal verification for critical modules, peer reviews, fuzz testing, and regression suites.
Operational Security & Monitoring
Logging, monitoring, alerting, anomaly detection, incident response plans, and periodic red team assessments.
Governance & Change Management
Versioning, staged rollout procedures, rollback ability, and security gates for all updates.
We publish summaries of notable audit observations and how we addressed them. We believe in learning from every audit and strengthening controls continuously.
