# Security & Transparency

### Non-Custodial Architecture

* **You control your funds**: Commitments locked in smart contracts, not held by Yamata
* **No intermediaries**: Direct interaction with blockchain
* **Trustless resolution**: Algorithmic distribution, no manual intervention

### On-Chain Transparency

Every action is publicly verifiable:

* Market creation parameters
* All commitments and timestamps
* Resolution submissions and challenges
* Payout calculations and distributions

### Zero Platform Risk

* **No market-maker exposure**: Yamata has no financial stake in outcomes
* **Auditable code**: Smart contracts open source and audited
* **Permissionless**: No ability to freeze or seize funds

### Smart Contract Security

* **Modular architecture**: Extensible framework with secure base
* **Multiple inheritance**: Diamond pattern for clean separation of concerns
* **Rate limiting**: Quota management prevents spam
* **Validation framework**: Versioned metadata ensures parameter correctness
