The Audits and Risk Control
Smart Contract Security
All core protocol logic is implemented through smart contracts that govern capital movement, yield accrual, settlement timing, and withdrawals.
Contracts are designed to:
enforce fixed deployment rules
remove discretionary control over user funds
ensure predictable capital behavior across cycles and epochs
clearly separate protocol enforcement from real-world execution
Independent Audits
Travessia’s smart contracts are undergoing independent third-party security audits.
Chain Defenders Audit:
Operational Risk and Real-World Execution
Travessia does not rely on on-chain activity alone to generate returns. Capital is deployed into real-world operations executed by professional counterparties.
Operational risk is managed through:
short deployment cycles
continuous capital rotation
disciplined settlement timelines
limited exposure windows per transaction
predefined return obligations to the protocol
robust legal agreements
The protocol does not warehouse inventory, extend long-term credit, or take directional exposure to commodity prices.
Hedging and Market Risk Management
To mitigate price volatility during execution, operators employ hedging strategies using established futures markets.
Hedging is used to:
protect margins between purchase and sale
reduce exposure to short-term price fluctuations
align execution outcomes with fixed settlement cycles
Hedging is not used to increase leverage or amplify returns.
Transparency Through Verified Data
Travessia is building a real-time transparency dashboard that provides visibility into underlying economic activity.
This dashboard will surface:
execution data supplied directly by Brazilian government sources
transaction attestations tied to real-world activity
aggregate volume, settlement, and throughput metrics
protocol-level performance indicators
All data displayed will be verified and sourced from official public records rather than self-reported metrics.
This system adds an additional layer of transparency and risk control by allowing users and investors to independently observe the economic activity supporting protocol returns.
Separation of Duties and Controls
Travessia is structured so that:
smart contracts control capital rules
operators execute real-world activity
no single party can unilaterally change system behavior
This separation reduces both technical and operational risk.
Known Risks and Disclosures
As with any system bridging on-chain and real-world activity, risks exist.
These include, but are not limited to:
smart contract vulnerabilities
operational execution risk
counterparty risk
regulatory uncertainty
liquidity variability during early stages
Travessia’s approach is to acknowledge these risks explicitly, structure the system to minimize them, and provide transparency so participants can make informed decisions.
Ongoing Improvements
Security and transparency are not static.
Travessia intends to:
publish ongoing audit updates
expand transparency dashboards as data availability increases
improve monitoring and alerting systems
iterate on risk controls as the protocol scales
These improvements are expected to evolve alongside product versions and additional vault deployments.
