# Security

Transparency and openness are two main reasons why DeFi exists and has thrived over TradFi to date! At Based Rate we want the community to feel safe using the platform. To do this we have removed the need to even have to trust us as everything can be verified by yourself. As the popular saying in Bitcoin/crypto goes "Don't trust, verify" and "Code is Law". 

To date we have completed a full audit with [Tech Rate](http://techrate.org) of the current contracts and you can verify them yourself here!
