# Security & Audits MegaTAO's smart contracts have been independently audited. We maintain an ongoing security partnership to ensure continued safety as the protocol evolves. * **Independent audits** from multiple firms before launch * **Ongoing review** of all contract upgrades through our BitSec partnership * **Defense-in-depth** architecture with multiple layers of protection * **Transparent disclosure** of audit findings and remediation ## In this section * [Audit Reports](/audits/audit-reports.md): Details on completed audits by BitSec and XORs Software * [Smart Contract Security](/audits/smart-contract-security.md): Technical security architecture and design patterns * [Bug Bounty](/audits/bug-bounty.md): Responsible disclosure program ## Beta notice MegaTAO is in beta. The protocol is actively being upgraded. We are working with BitSec on an ongoing basis to audit each update, and will publish a comprehensive final audit report once the protocol reaches its final form. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
