Accumulate is designed to reduce attack surface by limiting complexity and enforcing predictable behavior.

Core Principle

Security is treated as a property of the system’s design, not an afterthought.

​
Smart Contract Design

Core protocol logic is implemented through immutable smart contracts wherever possible. Once deployed, critical execution logic cannot be altered.
Contracts execute deterministically and avoid conditional behavior based on market data or external signals. The same input always produces the same output.
All execution paths are explicit and verifiable. There are no backdoors, escape hatches, or hidden administrative functions.

​
Treasury Security

Bitcoin accumulated by the protocol is held using a Safe multisig wallet.

Distributed Authority

Multisig custody distributes signing authority across multiple parties, reducing single point of failure risk.

Custody Only

The multisig is used for custody only and does not control protocol execution or strategy logic.

Transparent Operations

All multisig transactions are publicly visible onchain and can be independently verified.
The multisig cannot override smart contract logic or execute actions outside its defined scope.

​
Access Controls

Limited, Explicit, and Scoped

Permissions are limited, explicit, and scoped. Only defined actions can be executed through governance or multisig processes.

​
What This Means

  • Every permission is documented and verifiable
  • No administrator can execute arbitrary actions
  • Access is granted only for specific, predefined operations
  • There are no hidden execution paths
  • No “emergency” powers that bypass rules

​
Dependency Surface

Accumulate minimizes reliance on external systems.
The protocol does not depend on:
No oracle feeds are required for normal operation. The protocol doesn’t need to know Bitcoin’s price to execute its strategy.
Treasury assets are not deployed to external protocols. This eliminates smart contract risk from third-party integrations.
All critical decisions are made onchain through deterministic smart contract execution. No offchain systems are required.
By minimizing dependencies, Accumulate reduces the attack surface and maintains operational independence.

​
Transparency and Verification

Observable Rather Than Inferred

All core contracts, treasury addresses, and protocol activity are publicly visible and verifiable onchain.Behavior is observable rather than inferred.
Anyone can verify:
  • 🔍 Smart contract code and logic
  • 💰 Treasury holdings and transactions
  • 📊 Fee collection and routing
  • 🔥 Token burns and buybacks
  • ⚙️ Governance actions and votes

​
Design Constraints

Accumulate is intentionally narrow in scope.
The protocol enforces simple, verifiable rules instead of adaptive or complex logic.

​
Why Simplicity Matters

Simple systems have fewer vulnerabilities. Each additional feature or integration increases risk.
Simple logic is easier to audit, test, and verify. Complex systems hide bugs and exploits.
Fixed rules produce predictable outcomes. Adaptive logic introduces uncertainty and manipulation vectors.
Simple systems are more likely to function correctly over extended periods without intervention.

This Constraint Is Deliberate

The narrow scope is not a limitation—it is central to the security posture.

​
Security Through Design

Accumulate’s security model is not based on assumptions about human behavior, market conditions, or external systems. It is based on:
  • Immutable smart contracts
  • Limited, explicit permissions
  • Full transparency and verifiability
  • Narrow scope and simple rules
  • Minimal external dependencies
