Security & Audits
Oracles supply external price data to on-chain contracts. Oracle compromise is a common attack vector — diversified providers reduce single-point-of-failure risk.

Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Zarban is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Arbitrum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Arbitrum, Arbitrum-borrowed, borrowed), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
