# Augustus V6.1

## Security Improvements

Augustus V6.1 incorporates additional security measures to improve security and reliability, including:

* **Full re-audit by leading security firms**\
  Augustus V6.1 has undergone a rigorous audit process conducted by five leading security firms: Certora, Hexens, Peckshield, Hacken, and Astrasec. These comprehensive audits confirmed that Augustus V6.1 meets the highest security standards.\
  In addition, Augustus V6.1 received a [formal verification](https://docs.certora.com/projects/tutorials/en/latest/lesson1_prerequisites/formal_verification.html) by Certora, providing an additional security guarantee and making ParaSwap the first DEX aggregator to achieve this formal verification.
* **An additional mechanism for accelerated threat response**\
  Augustus V6.1 is designed to be fully pausable, allowing swift response to potential issues. This means that if any suspicious activity is detected, it can be immediately halted.
* **TimeLock mechanism for Admin Actions**\
  Except for Pausing, all Augustus V6.1 contract admin actions are subject to a TimeLock, which makes it resilient to immediate changes.
