3.5 Safety

DuckChain’s architecture prioritizes security at every level, employing decentralized oracles, advanced fraud-proof mechanisms, and transaction finality protocols. These measures provide a trusted environment for users, developers, and institutional stakeholders.

Decentralized Oracle Layer (DOL)

The DOL ensures accurate data transmission and synchronization between DuckChain and the TON blockchain. Its decentralized design eliminates single points of failure, enhancing resilience against attacks. Key security features include:

  1. Decentralized Architecture: The DOL employs a distributed network of Oracle nodes to validate and transmit data. This setup enhances resilience against single points of failure, making the network tamper-resistant.

  2. State Root Verification: The DOL publishes DuckChain’s state root, a cryptographic hash encapsulating the entire state of the chain, on the TON blockchain. This mechanism ensures real-time synchronization and transparency, enabling all participants to independently verify DuckChain’s state.

  3. Data Integrity and Verification: Oracle nodes utilize multiple verification mechanisms to ensure the accuracy and reliability of transmitted data. Encryption technologies and digital signatures authenticate data sources, safeguarding it from tampering during transmission.

  4. Multisignature Mechanism: Key operations require consensus from multiple nodes, using a multisignature process to validate and execute actions. This ensures a high level of security and irreversibility for critical operations.

The DOL’s meticulous design not only guarantees transparency and trust but also reinforces the reliability of DuckChain’s operations, making it an ideal solution for institutional-grade adoption.

Decentralized Asset Verify Layer (DAVL)

The Decentralized Asset Verify Layer (DAVL) is DuckChain’s backbone for cross-chain interoperability and asset flow security. By employing rigorous decentralized mechanisms, DAVL ensures seamless and trustworthy operations across interconnected ecosystems.

Key security features include:

  1. Proposal and Review Model Asset transfers and cross-chain messages undergo a rigorous decentralized review process. Proposers initiate transfer requests, which are then independently validated by multiple Reviewers, ensuring consensus before execution.

  2. Dynamic Risk Control DAVL incorporates a dynamic risk control framework that prevents overspending or misuse of assets. Transactions are meticulously verified to ensure that the declared asset amounts match the actual transferred amounts, safeguarding the system from discrepancies or fraudulent activities.

  3. Voting-Based Verification Cross-chain messages require a threshold number of Reviewer votes to pass. This ensures that malicious nodes cannot influence the outcome, reinforcing the integrity of cross-chain operations.

  4. Enhanced Transparency By recording all proposals, reviews, and transaction histories on-chain, DAVL creates a verifiable and immutable record that enhances trust and system transparency.

DAVL not only facilitates secure cross-chain communication but also fosters interoperability between TON, Ethereum, and Bitcoin ecosystems. Its advanced security mechanisms are designed to instill confidence in stakeholders managing high-value transactions.

Message Verification and Security

In DuckChain’s architecture, cross-chain message security is paramount. Each transaction and message undergoes stringent validation processes to ensure correctness, consistency, and security.

  1. Validation Against Historical Records Cross-chain messages are verified against historical transaction records to confirm the authenticity and accuracy of asset transfers. This minimizes the risk of errors or fraud.

  2. Controlled Asset Utilization Accounts cannot utilize assets beyond their validated transfers, ensuring precise alignment between declared and available balances.

  3. Consensus-Driven Approval Messages are approved only when a quorum of validators reaches consensus, providing solid resistance to tampering and malicious activities.

  4. Tamper-Proof Mechanisms Advanced cryptographic techniques, including encryption and digital signatures, protect data integrity throughout the communication process.

Resilience Through Decentralization

The decentralized design of both the DOL and DAVL ensures system stability and security even under adversarial conditions. By distributing responsibilities across multiple independent nodes, DuckChain mitigates risks associated with centralized systems, including single points of failure and targeted attacks.

Institutional-Grade Reliability

DuckChain’s safety features are engineered to meet the rigorous standards of institutional stakeholders, including VCs, exchanges, and high-level enterprises. Its multi-layered approach to security, combining decentralization, cryptographic verification, and dynamic risk controls, ensures a trusted environment for large-scale operations and cross-chain activities.
