TRANSPARENCY
Deployment and security.
Validator scripts, addresses and the live Hydra Head are published identifiers. No audit has completed yet and this venue is testnet only — both facts are stated, not hidden.
DEPLOYMENT
Deployment identifiers require a reachable gateway.
The full identifier set, custody boundary and current limitations live on the security page; the fee model — one taker fee in the quote asset — is documented with worked examples.
