Panther Protocol’s codebase is now open-source
Table of Contents:
The Panther Protocol Foundation now owns Panther’s intellectual property, including its core architecture, which has been open-sourced after a successful audit by Veridise.
Panther Protocol’s main codebase is now open-source, following the recent audit completion by industry-leading audit firm Veridise. The Panther Protocol Foundation (PPF) will support the protocol’s continued development and has assumed control of all Panther-related intellectual property previously held by development company Panther Ventures Limited.
Successful Audit and Open Sourcing
Before open-sourcing, Panther’s codebase underwent a comprehensive security audit conducted by Veridise. The audit covered the protocol’s Zero-Knowledge circuits, and smart contracts, improving security and reliability. With the audit now complete, Panther’s codebase has been made publicly available under the LGPL3.0 and MIT License.
The open-source code will enable developers, financial market participants, and blockchain innovators to integrate, utilize, and build upon Panther’s privacy-enhancing technology. The full audit report detailing Veridise’s findings is available for public review here. Panther's documentation also provides a comprehensive list of features and functions in the current codebase.
Open-Sourcing and Community Engagement
Panther’s codebase can be found on the Panther Protocol’s Foundation GitHub and GitLab, with the additional read-me files in place to support developers. The licensing chosen supports the open-source ethos of the Web3 ecosystem, fostering a community-driven approach to Panther’s evolution.
Governance of the protocol will remain the responsibility of the Panther DAO, ensuring a decentralized model for decision-making and ongoing development. This reinforces Panther’s commitment to a trustless, resilient, and community-first DeFi ecosystem.
Quote from Panther Protocol Co-Founder
"Open-sourcing Panther’s audited code represents a significant milestone in our journey toward transparency and decentralization. By making our technology accessible, we invite the broader Web3 community to contribute, innovate, and verify our security, ensuring Panther’s continued growth as a trusted, privacy-preserving DeFi protocol. The goal of the project was always to build an infrastructure where compliance and confidentiality can coexist, and we would like to invite everyone to try out the solutions that have been built." — Anish Mohammed, Co-Founder
