# Security & Audits

Security is paramount to our project and its community of traders. We are committed to ensuring that all of our contracts—across every product—are fully audited and rigorously tested.

In addition to a transparent, public audit process, our contracts undergo peer reviews by seasoned developers in the blockchain space.

#### 🛠️ Trade Settlement Contracts

Ionex currently uses SYMMIO-Core v0.8.4 smart contracts for trade settlement. These have been fully audited by Sherlock to provide an additional layer of confidence.
