Multx incorporates robust security mechanisms to ensure that token transfers are reliable, resilient, and secure.

1. **Independent Validators:** Validators operate independently, enhancing network resilience.
2. **Fault Tolerance:** If a validator is down or compromised, the protocol remains operational by relying on signatures from the other two validators.
3. **Rigged Transaction Prevention:** In the event of a rigged transaction, the smart contract uses the majority consensus (two validators) to detect and reject tampered data.
4. **Relayer Hacking Protection:** Even if a relayer is compromised, it cannot execute unauthorized transactions without validator signatures.
