Security & Transparency
Non-Custodial Architecture
LinkDeFi never holds or manages user assets. All transactions are executed directly from the user’s personal wallet to the target protocol’s smart contract, ensuring that users retain full control at all times.
LinkDeFi has no access to private keys or user funds, and there are no intermediary custody steps within its system. Users always maintain complete ownership and control of their assets through their own wallets.
No Proprietary Smart Contracts
LinkDeFi does not operate its own Vault, Token, or Router contracts. Instead, the platform is designed to interact directly with verified and established external protocols, calling their smart contracts without modification.
This architecture ensures that no additional contract-level risks are introduced by LinkDeFi itself. All potential risks are limited to the connected protocols, which users interact with transparently and directly.
Infrastructure Security (AWS-Based)
he LinkDeFi web application is hosted within Amazon Web Services (AWS) and follows industry best practices for infrastructure security and reliability.
Key Security Measures:
HTTPS with SSL certificates to encrypt all user traffic
WAF (Web Application Firewall) and Cloudflare protection against external attacks
Role-based access control (AWS IAM) for strict separation of developer, operator, and admin privileges
Mandatory MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) for all internal accounts
Regular access key rotation to minimize exposure risks
Real-time monitoring via AWS CloudTrail and CloudWatch
Security Group and Network ACL policies to restrict unnecessary port access
Together, these controls ensure that the LinkDeFi platform maintains enterprise-grade resilience against unauthorized access or malicious activity.
Code Deployment & Approval Process
To minimize the risk of human error and ensure operational integrity, LinkDeFi uses an automated CI/CD pipeline built on GitHub and AWS CodePipeline.
All code changes require multi-person review and approval before merging (Pull Request Review)
Deployment includes a Manual Approval stage, ensuring that a designated reviewer must confirm changes before production release
This structure functions as a multi-signature–like safeguard, adding transparency, traceability, and redundancy to every code release. It prevents unilateral actions and reinforces accountability within the development workflow.
Transparency & Risk Disclosure
LinkDeFi operates under a fully non-custodial model, meaning all transactions are initiated and signed directly by users. Every transaction is recorded on-chain, and LinkDeFi has no authority to move, store, or manipulate user assets.
However, users should note that risks associated with external protocol vulnerabilities, smart contract exploits, or market volatility remain beyond LinkDeFi’s control. While the platform provides access to vetted DeFi strategies, it cannot guarantee the performance or security of third-party protocols.
Users approve every transaction with their own wallet, and LinkDeFi neither holds nor actively manages any customer assets.
