## Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in the Lithosphere protocol, explorer, APIs, or any associated infrastructure, please report it responsibly.

### How to Report

* **Email**: <security@litho.ai>
* **Subject line**: `[SECURITY] <brief description>`
* **Include**: Steps to reproduce, affected components, potential impact, and any suggested fixes

### What to Expect

1. **Acknowledgment**: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours.
2. **Assessment**: Our team will assess the severity and impact within 5 business days.
3. **Resolution**: We will work on a fix and coordinate disclosure with you.
4. **Credit**: With your permission, we will credit you in the security advisory.

### Scope

The following are in scope for responsible disclosure:

* Lithosphere node software (`lithod`)
* Explorer and block explorer APIs (`makalu.litho.ai`)
* Public RPC endpoints (`rpc.litho.ai`, `api.litho.ai`)
* Smart contract standards (LEP100)
* SDKs and developer tools

### Out of Scope

* Denial-of-service attacks against production infrastructure

### Disclosure Policy

## Security Audits

Lithosphere is actively pursuing third-party security audits. Completed audit reports will be published here with scope statements and remediation status as they become available.
