Balancer V3 Passes Certora Security Re-Audit with Zero Vulnerabilities Found
Balancer V3 Passes Certora Security Re-Audit with Zero Vulnerabilities Found
🔒 Zero vulnerabilities discovered
Balancer partnered with Certora to conduct a comprehensive re-audit of its V3 contracts, focusing on identifying potential attack vectors before malicious actors could exploit them.
Key Results:
- Zero vulnerabilities discovered across all audited V3 contracts
- New security guardrails implemented to restrict protocol to valid use cases
- Preventive security measures built directly into the architecture
The audit represents a shift toward proactive security in AMM design, where threats are blocked at the architectural level rather than addressed reactively. A full audit report detailing methodology and results is available on GitHub.
Guided by this philosophy, we engaged Certora for a re-audit of V3. The goal: identify and eliminate possible attack vectors before it could be discovered by bad actors, and add new security guardrails to restrict the protocol to valid use cases.
The implementation of these guardrails sets a new standard for AMM security, where robustness is built into the architecture, and threats are blocked before they exist 🥷 Read the full article on our security efforts in partnership with Certora 👇

We partnered with @certora to future-proof V3 security. Together with our team, they conducted a comprehensive effort to re-audit V3 contracts and build preventive security directly into the protocol. Here are the results 🧵
The audit didn't find any vulnerabilities across the audited V3 contracts! In case you want to dive deeper, they crafted a full report detailing their audit process, methodology and results. Read it here: github.com/balancer/balan…
Token Distribution: The Foundation That Shapes Everything After Launch
**Token distribution is the critical foundation** that determines a project's trajectory post-launch. **Key insight:** Projects that succeed prioritize fair token sale mechanisms from the start. **Why it matters:** - Fair price discovery ensures market efficiency - Transparent allocation builds community trust - Open participation prevents centralization **The solution:** Continuous Clearing Auction Protocol addresses these fundamentals while operating fully onchain. **Bottom line:** Getting distribution right isn't optional—it's the difference between sustainable growth and early failure.
StakeDAO Launches New Voting Incentives Market
**New Voting Incentives Platform** StakeDAO has launched a new voting incentives marketplace at [votemarket.stakedao.org](https://votemarket.stakedao.org/). This platform allows users to participate in governance voting incentive programs. **Action Items** - Claim any unclaimed incentives at [Hidden Hand](https://hiddenhand.finance/) - Explore the new StakeDAO voting market for potential opportunities The voting incentives market enables protocols to offer rewards to governance token holders who vote in favor of specific proposals, creating a more efficient governance participation system.
8-Token Tokenized Stock Pool Demonstrates Balancer V3's Multi-Asset Flexibility
An experimental 8-token tokenized stock pool was deployed on Balancer V3, showcasing the protocol's ability to handle complex asset baskets within a single pool. **Key Features Demonstrated:** - Multi-token basket management in one pool - Single pool logic for complex asset combinations - Enhanced flexibility for tokenized asset structures This implementation highlights V3's improved architecture, which consolidates common AMM patterns into The Vault while maintaining customization options. The platform's opinionated-yet-flexible design enables developers to build sophisticated liquidity solutions for tokenized securities and other complex asset classes. Balancer V3's vault improvements include decimal scaling, rate scaling, transient accounting, and native queryability - features that support these advanced use cases.
Balancer Deploys Enhanced Security Pool Factories Across V3 Networks
Balancer has rolled out new **Weighted and Stable pool factories** with improved security guardrails across all V3 networks. **Key Updates:** - Enhanced security measures now live on all V3 deployments - Both Weighted and Stable pool types receive upgrades - Part of ongoing protocol security improvements The deployment represents Balancer's continued focus on strengthening its infrastructure as the protocol expands its V3 presence.
