14. Security, Anti-Fraud, and Auditing

The integrity of the Legend of Cuco ecosystem depends on trust, transparency, and verifiability — both in the physical and digital realms. Every pack, vault, and contract is designed to protect players, collectors, and investors from exploitation while ensuring a fair and transparent treasure hunt experience.

14.1 Physical Security Measures

• Each physical pack and card features serial numbering, holograms, and microtext for authenticity.

• Unique scratch or QR codes are used for instant wins and redemptions, ensuring one-time claim integrity.

• Randomized collation and distribution prevent predictable sequencing or “pack mapping” exploits.

• Pilot editions rely on tamper-proof scratch labels or hologram stickers; large-scale runs will incorporate custom hologram masters and serialized anti-counterfeit seals.

14.2 Digital & Contract Security

• Smart contracts are audited by reputable security firms prior to major releases or exchange listings; full details published in the Smart Contracts & Audits section.

• VRF (Verifiable Random Function) technology is used for prize selection and randomness verification where applicable.

• TeamClaim and TeamSplit contracts ensure trustless, auditable payouts for collaborative vault solves.

• All critical fund movement flows are protected by multisig and timelock governance, ensuring no single point of control or unauthorized movement of funds.

• Core token and vault contracts are open-source and verifiable on public explorers (e.g., PolygonScan).

14.3 Fraud Prevention & Governance

• One-time codes and soulbound minting prevent duplication or double-spending of instant prizes.

• Custodial prize claims for non-crypto users employ server-side logging and IP validation, with mandatory KYC verification for large-value payouts.

• Publicly visible odds, contract states, and on-chain records provide complete community transparency.

• Governance of all treasury-related actions and prize releases is managed through multisig wallets, ensuring that no private keys are ever held by a single entity.

Together, these systems create a transparent, tamper-resistant environment — a foundation of trust, fairness, and verifiable integrity that underpins every vault, token, and treasure Cuco guards.
