- Authorization Layer: Admin functions require
require_admin()check - Validation Layer: All inputs validated before processing
- State Layer: Invariants verified after state changes
- Event Layer: All significant actions emit events for audit trails
| Check | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| No external calls before state updates | PASS | Soroban prevents reentrancy by design |
| No cross-contract calls in swap logic | PASS | No external contract calls in trading flow |
| State changes before event emission | PASS | Events emitted after state updates |
| No callbacks to user addresses | PASS | No callback patterns used |
Soroban Reentrancy Protection: Soroban uses a deterministic execution model that prevents reentrancy attacks. Contract calls cannot be reentered during execution.
| Check | Status | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Saturating arithmetic used | PASS | All balance operations use saturating_add/sub |
| Amount bounds checking | PASS | validation.rs enforces MAX_AMOUNT |
| Fee calculation overflow check | PASS | Fee calc: (amount * fee_bps) / 10000 |
| LP token calculation safety | PASS | Babylonian method with overflow guards |
| Product calculation safety | PASS | saturating_mul used in AMM formula |

All arithmetic uses saturating_* operations to prevent overflow:
// Balance updates
self.balances.set(key, current.saturating_add(amount));
// PnL tracking
let new_pnl = current_pnl.saturating_sub(amount);
// LP calculations
let product = (xlm_amount as u128).saturating_mul(usdc_amount as u128);| Operation | Precision | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Price | 1e18 (PRECISION) | 18 decimal places |
| Fee calculation | Basis points (1/10000) | Integer math |
| LP token minting | Integer sqrt | Babylonian method |
| Rate limits | Per-hour buckets | Ledger-based |
All divisions check for zero denominators:
if denominator == 0 {
panic!("Division by zero in AMM calculation");
}| Function | Fuzz Tests | Edge Cases |
|---|---|---|
mint() |
5 tests | Zero, max, negative amounts |
swap() |
8 tests | Min/max amounts, stale prices |
add_liquidity() |
4 tests | Empty pool, large deposits |
remove_liquidity() |
4 tests | Full/partial removal |
| Batch operations | 4 tests | Mixed success/failure |
Using proptest for randomized inputs:
proptest! {
#[test]
fn test_swap_never_creates_tokens(amount in 1..MAX_AMOUNT) {
// Invariant: total supply after <= total supply before
}
#[test]
fn test_lp_token_conservation(xlm in 1..MAX_AMOUNT, usdc in 1..MAX_AMOUNT) {
// Invariant: LP tokens proportional to deposits
}
