# ICO / Token Security

## Implementation and Security of the SPL Token Program

### Introduction

The NAEST token of the NAEST project is implemented on the Solana blockchain using the standard SPL Token Program. This document details the technical and security aspects of this implementation.

### SPL Token Program Overview

The SPL Token Program is Solana's official standard for token creation and management. It is an open-source program maintained directly by the Solana Labs team, ensuring:

* A robust and proven architecture
* Regular security updates
* Maximum compatibility with the Solana ecosystem

#### Technical Characteristics

* Program ID: TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA
* Current version: Integrated into the Solana runtime
* Maintenance: Provided by Solana Labs
* Audits: Continuous verification by the Solana community

### NAEST Token Security

The NAEST token exclusively uses the standard functionalities of the SPL Token Program, without modification or custom code, which implies:

* No specific vulnerabilities introduced
* Automatic benefit from Solana's security updates
* Compliance with ecosystem best practices

#### Security Guarantees

* Automatic updates via Solana runtime
* Continuous audit by the Solana community
* Extensive testing on mainnet
* Proven reliability through massive usage

### Vesting Management

For vesting management, the project uses Streamflow:

* Standardized and secure interface: Streamflow offers a user-friendly and highly configurable platform for creating and managing token vesting contracts, ensuring transparent and efficient distribution.
* Audited smart contracts: Security is a priority for Streamflow. The protocol has been rigorously tested in production for nearly three years without incident and has undergone thorough audits by recognized companies such as FYEO, OPCODES, OtterSec, and MoveBit.
* Native integration with the SPL Token Program: Streamflow is natively integrated with Solana's SPL Token Program, facilitating the creation and management of vesting contracts for SPL tokens.

### Conclusion

The use of the standard SPL Token Program for the NAEST token ensures:

* Maximum security
* Continuous maintenance
* Ecosystem compatibility
* Absence of risks related to custom code

The combination of the SPL Token Program and Streamflow for vesting represents the most secure and proven solution in the Solana ecosystem.
