# Security and Transparency In the KOTAI ecosystem, **security is not a vague promise — it’s a non-negotiable foundation**. We understand that in the crypto space, serious projects must demonstrate not just vision and innovation, but also **technical responsibility and full transparency** with the community. That’s why we’ve conducted **independent audits** of our smart contracts, performed by **industry-recognized firms** such as **SolidProof** and **Hackdra**, to ensure our technological infrastructure is free from critical vulnerabilities, backdoors, or logic flaws that could compromise user trust. ### Smart Contracts: ICO Technical Framework The KOTAI Project ecosystem is underpinned by three core contracts, each with specific and audited functions: * **KOTAIPresale** — Manages the entire KTI token presale process. It records on-chain investments in USDT, its native currency, and via WERT, calculates the equivalent amounts per plan (Silver, Gold, Diamond), and updates each investor's future balances. * **KOTAIClaim** — Allows investors to claim their tokens at the end of the ICO. It also controls the total tokens available for distribution and **performs the automatic burning of unsold tokens**, reinforcing the project's deflationary model. * **KOTAI — This is the KTI token contract itself:**\ `0xd1fB56e6aEe842708392f2c8ee948bDfABae3AFE` It also restricts who can burn tokens, allowing **only the official distribution contract (KOTAIClaim)** to perform burns. This prevents any unilateral actions by third parties. All of these contracts have been audited by **the companies SolidProof** and **Hackdra**, and are available for public verification. They form the security, traceability, and trust backbone of ICO KOTAI. You can access the public audit reports here:\ 🔍 **SolidProof Audit**: \ 🔍 **Hackdra Audit**: These reports provide full transparency regarding the **tests performed**, **issues identified and resolved**, and the **certifications issued**, showcasing our commitment to long-term technical integrity. > For us, auditing is not a checkbox — it’s an **ethical obligation** to every investor and participant in the ecosystem. We are building a decentralized environment where **users retain control**, and that is only possible through **maximum security and verifiability**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
