Overview of security design

  • Layered Security Architecture Buburuza is designed with multiple layers of protection:

    1. Execution Layer (L3 rollup) – where transactions are processed quickly, with preliminary checks.

    2. Validation / Challenge Layer – where submitted transaction batches are monitored and can be challenged if invalid or malicious.

    3. Settlement Layer – periodic anchoring to a base Layer‐2 chain (or secure data availability layer) which provides finality, auditability, and irreversible settlement.

  • Fraud‐Proofs & Challenge Windows Like many optimistic rollup models including Arbitrum, Buburuza assumes transactions are valid by default but includes mechanisms to contest and correct invalid state or assertions during a challenge period.

  • Secure Execution Environment

    • EVM compatibility ensures developers can use battle-tested tooling and patterns.

    • Smart contract audits, formal verification and best practices (contract design, permissions, safe math, etc.).

    • Use of secure API endpoints, and node software that follow secure coding standards.

  • Transparency & Auditing

    • Public explorer & APIs so everyone can monitor the chain.

    • Open-source contracts and core node software.

    • Independent audits of both smart contracts and infrastructure.

  • Progressive Decentralization Governance, sequencers/validators, and control over upgrade paths are gradually decentralized to reduce single points of trust.
