# 6. Security and Auditability

**maicrotrader treats auditability as infrastructure, not a feature.**

**Self-custody architecture:** Users retain full custody of their funds at all times. No private keys are held by the platform. Vault contracts are non-custodial by design.

**On-chain policy hashes:** Every STA's configuration policy is hashed and recorded on-chain at deployment. Any change to the policy generates a new hash and a new on-chain record. There is no mechanism to silently alter a deployed vault's behavior.

**Immutable decision log:** Every agent action is recorded in a structured event log: `signal_emitted`, `risk_check_passed`, `risk_check_blocked`, `order_submitted`, `order_filled`, `rebalance_triggered`. This log is the basis for the attribution feed visible in the dashboard and cannot be retroactively modified.

**Risk Agent veto by architecture:** The Risk Agent's authority is not a soft check. No trade can reach the Execution Agent without passing a Risk Agent validation against the vault's deployed policy parameters. This is enforced at the system level, not the UI level.

**Smart contract audits:** The vault contract infrastructure is subject to independent security audit prior to the Strategy Builder launch. Audit reports will be published publicly.

**Seasoning-gated vault network:** Strategies must demonstrate live performance under real capital before being published to the vault network. The seasoning record is on-chain and verifiable by any depositor before allocating capital.

The combination of non-custodial architecture, on-chain policy records, immutable decision attribution, and mandatory seasoning is what makes "auditable" a structural claim rather than a marketing claim.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.maicrotrader.com/6.-security-and-auditability.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
