Create an Architecture & Threat Model Documentation Hub

[AlAfiz]

Description

Before going to Mainnet or applying for a formal security audit, the protocol must have a written Threat Model documenting known risks and mitigations.

Acceptance Criteria

• Create a docs/THREAT_MODEL.md file.
• Document trust assumptions (e.g., "The Fastify backend is trusted to index data, but NEVER trusted to sign transactions").
• Analyze potential vectors: Re-entrancy attacks (mitigated by CEI), RPC downtime (mitigated by UX fallbacks), DB injection (mitigated by Prisma).
• Document the emergency pause procedures (from Issue Soroban Contract: Pause/Unpause functionality (Emergency Stop) #54).

Technical Details

• A well-documented threat model is the first thing professional auditors (like CertiK or Hacken) will ask for. Having it ready proves the maturity of the project.

Hiiiiiii, I would love to work on this 😊

I have experience creating structured technical documentation and organizing security-related workflows, and I am comfortable documenting system architecture, threat models, and mitigation strategies clearly. I am confident I can produce a well-structured threat model that helps improve system security awareness and readiness for audits.

ETA: 2-3 hours
