Audit firm tier

Evidence summary #

OtterSec is the leading Solana-specialized security firm (equivalent to Tier-1 for Solana BPF auditing). Sec3 and Offside Labs are established Solana boutiques (Tier-2). No EVM Tier-1 firm (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, Certora, Spearbit) covers this protocol. For Solana-native programs, OtterSec is the functional standard, making this yellow-borderline — below Tier-1 by EVM taxonomy definitions, but appropriate for the substrate.
