Gearbox, a composable leverage protocol in the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem, has completed a security review of its new integrations with Mellow Finance and Kodiak Finance, conducted by smart contract auditor MixBytes. According to the announcement, the audit found the integrated systems to be stable and reliable, with no critical issues reported, which supports the safety of user funds within these combined strategies. This follows a broader trend of Mellow and Kodiak subjecting their smart contracts to multiple independent audits and security reviews. The audit covers Gearbox’s leveraged strategies that route liquidity into Mellow’s modular vault infrastructure and related products, as well as integrations touching Kodiak’s DeFi components. Mellow already emphasizes a multi-auditor approach for its liquid restaking and vault contracts, while Kodiak reports multiple prior audit rounds on its core protocol and new products, with all identified issues addressed and no critical vulnerabilities remaining. By adding MixBytes’ review of the integration layer on top of these existing audits, the protocols aim to reduce composability risk, strengthen defenses against potential exploits at the interface between systems, and bolster confidence for users allocating capital into these interconnected DeFi strategies.
