💡 TL;DR: Learn to effectively audit and enhance your crypto vault's security by leveraging OTP-based 2FA, programmable on-chain rules, and panic freeze features.
🔍 Understanding Vault Configuration Audits
In the world of cryptocurrency, ensuring the security of your assets is paramount. Crypto vaults, like those offered by ZeroSig, provide enhanced security through smart contracts, yet they require regular audits to remain secure. Here's how you can audit your vault configuration for vulnerabilities.
🛡️ Key Security Features to Audit
1. OTP-Based 2FA ✅
One-Time Password (OTP) based Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a crucial layer of security. It adds an additional step for verifying the authenticity of transactions. Ensure that your vault is configured to utilize OTP-based 2FA effectively.
Tip: Regularly update and verify your OTP settings to prevent unauthorized access.
2. Programmable On-Chain Rules 📜
Leverage programmable on-chain rules to define how and when transactions can occur. This can prevent unauthorized or unintended transactions, adding a layer of programmable security to your vault.

3. Panic Freeze Feature ❄️
The panic freeze feature allows you to temporarily halt all operations within your vault in case of a suspected security breach. This can be a lifesaver during an attack, providing you with time to assess and address the situation.
Security Analogy: Think of panic freeze as the emergency brake on a train—essential for stopping everything in its tracks when danger looms.
4. EIP-4337 Integration 🔗
ZeroSig uses EIP-4337 to enhance security by allowing smart contract wallets to execute complex logic before and after transactions. This ensures higher security and flexibility. Learn more about how ZeroSig uses EIP-4337 for better security.
