# Threat Monitoring & Response

Independent audits review Tessera's code; monitoring covers the programs and markets once they are live. Alongside audits and Proof-of-Reserve, Tessera continuously monitors its on-chain state and is designed to respond to detected threats automatically. This layer has been live since June 1, 2026.

***

### Real-Time Monitoring

Tessera's on-chain state is monitored continuously by **Hypernative**, an on-chain security vendor, to help detect threats as they emerge rather than after the fact. Monitoring spans pool reserves, token mint and authority integrity, circulating supply, and Proof-of-Reserve data.

### Automated Protective Response

When a threat is detected, Tessera can respond automatically, without waiting for human intervention. Protective action is designed to be **narrowly scoped to the specific threat** — contained to what is affected rather than applied platform-wide.

Every automated action clears **independent co-approval before it is signed**. Signing keys are held in institutional MPC custody (Fireblocks), separate from the systems that detect and decide. This is designed so that no single component, if compromised, can move funds or act outside its defined scope.

***

### Human-Controlled by Design

* Recovery is **deliberately manual**: a person investigates and decides before normal operations resume. Tessera does not auto-resume.
* Decisions are **layered** — multiple independent checks must agree before anything is signed.

These controls are designed to help limit the impact of active exploits, and keep Tessera positioned to meet its obligations as the regulatory framework for on-chain real-world assets continues to develop.

### Scale Under Protection

This protection covers all three live markets — T-SpaceX (live February 12, 2026), T-Kalshi (live May 13, 2026), and T-OpenAI (live June 25, 2026, covered from launch).

As of August 13, 2026, cumulative trading volume across the three markets was **$424.7M**, with **8,010** active traders. Current figures are on the [transparency dashboard](https://app.tessera.pe/dashboard?tab=transparency).
