Role of Community Peer Review

Security is a cultural responsability shared by the developers, contributors, and community that rely on the system every day.

Axynom treats peer review as a required layer of protocol security. It exists alongside audits and testing and plays a key role in protecting upgrades, contributor flows, and governance logic as the protocol scales.

What Peer Review Means in Practice

Peer review is not symbolic. It is a structured process that allows contributors, stakers, and developers to:

• Read and verify smart contract logic

• Flag possible bugs, logic errors, or missed edge cases

• Review proposed upgrades before they are deployed

• Publicly challenge proposals or parameter changes that may affect protocol behavior

• Help document contract functionality for future maintainers

It is not a replacement for formal audits, but it often catches issues sooner and strengthens the quality of post-audit development cycles.

Review Surfaces

Community peer review is especially important in:

• Upgradable contracts: Proposals to change staking, PoG, or reward logic

• Voting logic: Changes to quorum, thresholds, or eligibility

• Reward math: Adjustments to APY, penalty formulas, or reward boosts

• CaaS deployments: Logic used by partner protocols to assign or pay out GP

• Treasury strategy proposals: Allocation, investment, or emergency plans

These areas affect core incentives and protocol safety. Community visibility and input are not optional.

Contributor-Driven Reviews

As the contributor base grows, Axynom will:

• Allocate GP rewards for meaningful code reviews or security feedback

• Maintain a GitHub contribution program where verified issues, explanations, or documentation contributions are recognized

• Allow verified contributors to publish annotations and technical breakdowns within the whitepaper or dev docs

• Fund bounties for valid vulnerability disclosures or test case improvements

The peer review process becomes a contribution pathway of its own, rewarding users who help protect and improve the protocol.

Axynom’s security relies on a culture of participation, transparency, and accountability.

When contributors audit each other’s work, the system becomes more than safe. It becomes resilient.
