Proud to announce that Ethena has completed a SOC 2 Type II audit based on the Security Trust Services Criteria, receiving a clean opinion from an independent auditor with zero exceptions noted. SOC 2 is a widely recognized standard for enterprise-grade, operational security assurance: an independent audit of how Ethena actually run access control, change management, monitoring, and incident response. Unlike a Type I report, which checks that controls are designed correctly at a single point in time, a Type II examination tests that those controls actually operated effectively over time. The audit covers infrastructure and processes supporting our products. It is distinct from, and complementary to, the smart contract audits and security reviews covering the Ethena protocol. We believe rigorous operational security should be table stakes for any onchain infrastructure handling billions of dollars, and we intend to maintain continuous SOC 2 coverage into the future. Ethena joins a very short list of onchain businesses that have completed SOC 2 Type II, including Circle, Chainlink and Aave. The full report is available to partners on request under NDA.
