A vault share is only as safe as the weakest link between the warehouse and the wallet. Cargo secures each link separately, in every vault.

The Security Stack

Code Review and Testing

Contracts that mint, auction and hold value will be independently audited before mainnet; no audit has been completed yet. Reports will be published on Audits & Bug Bounty.

Access Controls

  • Privileged functions (minting, pausing, parameter changes, identity registry updates) are restricted to named roles.
  • The identity registry signer key is held under the Safe policy.
  • Parameter and rule changes follow 30 days’ notice; only safety pauses are immediate.

Operational Security and AML

  • KYC and KYB through Persona, with sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening.
  • Wallet screening on registration, on every new order and every six months; wallets exposed to sanctioned addresses are frozen pending review.
  • Source of funds checked above $100,000.
  • Identity data stays with the verification provider and the compliance team. Only a participant ID and wallet status go on-chain.
  • Deposit addresses are confirmed by phone with a named director and a test transfer, never by message.

Incident Response

1

Detect

Automatic triggers: NAV oracle failure, a collateral-manager discrepancy above 0.5%, a sanctions hit or a chain incident.
2

Contain

The affected batch, creations or redemptions are suspended. A suspect lot is frozen until topped up or met from subordinated shares, with an independent recount.
3

Communicate

The reason is published on the official channels and sent to eligible investors.
Paper records (receipts, the pledge register and signed agreements) are the fallback if a chain or key fails. No set of controls removes all risk.
