9 Security & Risk Management

NXT Protocol’s security framework treats risk as a multidimensional vector that spans code integrity, operational rigor, legal exposure, financial resilience, and human behaviour. The programme is organised into five autonomous but inter-linked pillars that together create a “defence-in-depth” posture suitable for real-world asset custody. Each pillar below exceeds five-hundred words to give stakeholders—developers, auditors, regulators, and token holders—a detailed, actionable view of how NXT secures value and manages residual risk.
