Token Standards: DN404 Vulnerabilities Reported By Guardian

During Guardian's security review of the DN404 ERC-7631 implementation, we discovered two high severity issues that could lead to NFT theft. Additionally, we identified several intriguing protocol value extraction and integration issues unique to the token standard. Since the codebase of DN404 was public at the time of the engagement, the high severity findings prompted an on-chain search to identify any live risks. https://guardianaudits.com/blog/dn404-vulnerabilities-reported-and-resolved

Novel AMMs: Baseline Markets Successfully Launches With Guardian

During multiple security reviews of the Baseline Markets V2 system the Guardian team discovered 22 high severity issues featuring DoS’s of the protocol, risk free arbitrages, and the invalidation of the “baseline value”.

Derivatives: Synthetix Successfully Migrates To V3 With Guardian

The Synthetix V3 migration was a technical feat which saw roughly half a billion dollars of digital assets permissionlessly transported from the V2 system into V3. The Guardian team reviewed the mission critical migration path for SNX stakers and reported multiple high severity issues which were promptly remediated by the Synthetix team. Synthetix has since engaged Guardian to review several more markets within the V3 system. https://github.com/GuardianAudits/Audits/tree/main/Synthetix
