# Introduction

Our development team, third-party consultants, and auditors have spent considerable effort, time, and resources to create a safe and reliable **Liquidity Protocol.** Our highest priority at **Hatom** is maintaining the protocol's security; thus, all contract codes will be made public, and all the balances will be verifiable. Also, security researchers will receive a **Bug Bounty** for discovering and reporting vulnerabilities. [**Hatom Lending Protocol**](/getting-started/hatoms-ecosystem/lending-protocol.md) is mainly inspired by the key industry leaders regarding all the protocol basics to provide a solid and secure platform.

## Is It Safe to Use Hatom?

At Hatom, we are committed to providing the highest level of security for our users. To achieve this goal, we have implemented a number of measures to ensure the safety and integrity of our protocol.

Firstly, we aim to be the **Most Audited Protocol** within the [**MultiversX Blockchain**](https://multiversx.com/). To make this possible, we have put important resources in place and have partnered with top security firms such as [**Runtime Verification**](https://runtimeverification.com/), [**Peckshield**](https://peckshield.com/), [**Hacken**](https://hacken.io/), [**Certik**](https://www.certik.com/), and [**Halborn**](https://www.halborn.com/), [**Arda**](https://arda.run/) and [**ABDK Consulting**](https://www.abdk.consulting/).

In addition to security audits, we are also performing, **DevSecOps**, and **Penetration Testing** for each of our products before any **Mainnet Launch** to ensure that every security aspect is dealt with.

To secure our launch, we have also partnered with [**Runtime Verification**](https://runtimeverification.com/) to handle the [**Lending Protocol's**](/getting-started/hatoms-ecosystem/lending-protocol.md) [**Liquidations**](/getting-started/hatoms-ecosystem/lending-protocol/liquidation.md) securely and safely. The community will also be able to participate, and an initial version will be made public for anyone to participate in protecting the protocol's health. 

To increase our security, we will launch all our products on **IPFS**. This decentralized method of storing and accessing data helps protect protocols from exploits by providing a decentralized and distributed method for storing and accessing data. **IPFS** also uses cryptographic hashing to ensure the integrity of the data, making it harder for attackers to tamper with or manipulate the information stored on the network.

Regarding the [**Hatom Token**](/getting-started/learn-more-about-hatom-token/introduction.md), we have made it as dump-proof as possible. We have increased the number of VCs as much as possible so that none can have a large stake, and we also made sure it’s vested for +2 years. \
The **Team**, **Advisors**, and **Pre-seed Angel investors** all agreed to vest tokens for **5 years** to prove their long-term commitment. 

We are taking a unique approach to attract liquidity and incentivize money markets without relying on **Liquidity Mining**. Our goal is to create a sustainable structure and increase liquidity through strategic combinations of our products. This approach aims to ensure the longevity and success of our protocol in the long term while protecting the value of our [**Token**](/getting-started/learn-more-about-hatom-token/introduction.md).

Our code will be open-source, with many talented developers, including the MVX tech team, who have combed through every line.

We have also put **Guardian Bots** in place to protect each product in the worst of times from **Potential Price Manipulation**, **Flash Liquidation**, and **Market Failure**. These **bots** will constantly be improved, adding even more mechanisms to their programs.
