# Security and Transparency

**1. Smart Contract Architecture**

YieldBase’s smart contracts form the backbone of its operations. Built using industry-leading security standards, these contracts manage liquidity provisioning, fees, and user deposits. They operate transparently, ensuring that user funds remain secure at all times.<br>

**2. Non-Custodial Platform**

YieldBase operates as a non-custodial platform, meaning the team does not have access to user funds. The only interaction with user capital is through the smart contracts, which function autonomously to distribute earnings and manage liquidity.

**3. Regular Audits**

To maintain the highest level of security, YieldBase plans to undergo regular smart contract audits from reputable third-party firms. These audits assess the integrity of the codebase, ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified and addressed promptly.
