# IOTA Contract Infrastructure

### Introduction

The NativePool contract introduces a decentralized liquid staking mechanism for IOTA, enabling users to stake and unstake efficiently with instant liquidity. By incorporating dynamic validator prioritization and a structured fee model, the protocol ensures:

* **Network stability** through optimized stake distribution.
* **Competitive rewards** for participants.
* **Flexibility and security** in staking operations.
* **Efficient fund management** for sustainable long-term participation.

This implementation enhances user experience, decentralization, and economic efficiency, making IOTA liquid staking accessible and rewarding for all participants.

### Contract Audit

To ensure the highest standards of security and reliability, the Swirl's Iota liquid staking protocol underwent a comprehensive smart contract code review and security analysis conducted by Hacken, a leading blockchain security firm. The audit assessed the contract logic, potential vulnerabilities, and adherence to best practices.
