Security Council Satuchain
The SATUCHAIN Security Council is responsible for coordinating security-critical decisions and incident response procedures that protect network integrity, users, and ecosystem infrastructure. The council exists to ensure that high-risk issues are handled with clear authority, minimal delay, and transparent operational discipline.
Scope
The Security Council covers security matters related to:
protocol and consensus safety
validator operations and network availability
critical infrastructure (RPC endpoints, explorer, and indexing)
emergency mitigations for active exploitation or severe network instability
coordinated vulnerability response and disclosure processes
Responsibilities
Incident Response Coordination Lead triage, containment, mitigation, and recovery during security incidents.
Risk Assessment and Severity Classification Evaluate reported issues and determine priority, impact scope, and response requirements.
Emergency Actions Approve and execute time-sensitive mitigation steps when required to protect the network.
Patch and Upgrade Oversight Coordinate security patches, release timing, and upgrade readiness across operators.
Communication and Transparency Publish incident summaries and mitigation notes when appropriate, while avoiding disclosures that increase active risk.
Operating Principles
Safety-first execution Protecting users and chain integrity takes priority over feature delivery.
Minimum necessary change Emergency actions must be limited to what is required to mitigate risk.
Reproducibility and auditability Security decisions should be documented and verifiable, with clear timelines and actions.
Reporting Vulnerabilities
Security issues should be reported responsibly through an official channel defined by SATUCHAIN. Reports should include:
affected component (node, RPC, explorer, contract, etc.)
reproduction steps and expected vs actual behavior
impact analysis (funds at risk, chain safety, denial of service, etc.)
suggested mitigation (if available)
Disclosure Policy
SATUCHAIN follows a coordinated disclosure process:
acknowledge receipt of report
triage and severity assessment
patch development and validation
coordinated release and operator rollout
post-incident summary when safe to publish
Notes
The Security Council’s role is operational and technical. It does not replace independent audits, secure development practices, or responsible operator behavior.
