-DEX Contracts:
+## Summary
+This document lists primary contracts and recommended verification steps for the project on Base (basescan.org). All links point to BaseScan; verify contract source and ownership before interacting.
 
-* Factory: [https://basescan.org/address/0x3e84d913803b02a4a7f027165e8ca42c14c0fde7](https://basescan.org/address/0x3e84d913803b02a4a7f027165e8ca42c14c0fde7)

-* Farm Contract: [https://basescan.org/address/0x52eaecac2402633d98b95213d0b473e069d86590](https://basescan.org/address/0x52eaecac2402633d98b95213d0b473e069d86590)
-  * The contract is controlled by a special selective timelock proxy at [https://basescan.org/address/0x16f1F80654F2FEA97293321675907CFA2e23e4fB](https://basescan.org/address/0x16f1F80654F2FEA97293321675907CFA2e23e4fB)
-  * Changing owner, changing ALB emission rate and other privileged functions are timelocked
-  * Adding new farms or changing settings on existing ones is allowed without timelocks to ensure fast response to the market
-  * Deposit fees are currently set to zero and cannot be increased once the farm is live.

+  - Notes:
+    - Privileged operations (change owner, modify ALB emission rate, etc.) are protected by timelock.
+    - Adding farms or changing non-privileged parameters can be performed without timelock for speed.
+    - Current deposit fee: 0% — reported as immutable post-launch (verify in code).

+## Verification & Security Checklist
+For each contract:
+1. Confirm "Contract Verified" status on BaseScan.
+2. Download and inspect ABI and source code.
+3. Identify owner addresses, multisig or Gnosis Safe, and timelock contracts.
+4. Search for admin/privileged functions and confirm timelock coverage.
+5. Check for immutable flags (e.g., deposit fee immutability).
+6. Look for published audit reports; if none, consider requesting an audit.
+
+Recommended additions to this doc:
+- Owner / multisig addresses and links.
+- Audit report links and summary.
+- ABI links (or embedded ABI files).
+- Short changelog entry for any address changes or upgrades.

+## Example: quick BaseScan verification script (optional)
+A simple curl + jq example to fetch contract page metadata (adjust as needed for BaseScan API or HTML parsing):
+
+```bash
+# filepath: scripts/check_basescan.sh
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -euo pipefail
+if [ -z "${1-}" ]; then
+  echo "Usage: $0 <contract-address>"
+  exit 2
+fi
+addr="$1"
+# Note: this parses the contract page HTML; consider using BaseScan API if available.
+curl -s "https://basescan.org/address/${addr}" | grep -i "Contract Source" -A2 || echo "Unable to detect verification from HTML; use BaseScan API or manual check."
+```
