Security & Audits

Protocol Profile
Cypher is a Derivatives protocol where traders open leveraged, perpetual, or option positions priced off oracle feeds and settled in collateral held by the contract. It is deployed on Solana.
Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Cypher is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Solana — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Pyth); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices.
