This change restores the earlier whitepaper text. That text describes audits and governance in ways that may overstate or misdescribe the project's security posture. Confirm the audit scope, the audit status and the deployed governance path, and correct the wording before publishing.

Use the network name BNB Chain.

BNB is the native token, while BNB Chain is the network name. Both changed network lists use BNB as if it were a blockchain. This makes the supported-network disclosure ambiguous. Restore BNB Chain or name the exact chain, such as BNB Smart Chain, consistently. (bnbchain.org)

Align governance documentation with the deployed control path.

src/pages/whitepaper.md describes distributed multi-signature governance by active node operators and says the transition is still in progress. The governance documentation instead defines YellowGovernor, quorum, delegation, and TimelockController execution. Confirm the deployed control path and rollout status, then update all governance references to one consistent description.

Limit the Hacken claim to the audited scope.

The linked report covers a scoped layer-3/broker-contracts review of LiteVault, BrokerToken, TimeRangeAuthorizer, and related interfaces on Ethereum, Polygon, and Linea. It reports 13 findings, including four low findings and nine observations. “Ethereum smart contracts” can imply broader coverage, while “No critical issues found” omits the non-critical findings. State the audited scope and finding status in both locations. (hacken.io)

Describe Guardian’s completed reports accurately.

The current text calls Guardian’s work “ongoing” and says it audits the Yellow Clearnet ledger. Guardian’s public portfolio lists three completed March 2026 reports: Token.sol, Yellow Contract, and Nitewatch, with one medium, eleven low, and nine informational findings. It does not identify an ongoing Yellow Clearnet ledger report. Use the exact report names, scopes, and statuses, or link the active engagement that supports this claim. (guardian.security)
