Bitget has become a major player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, managing around $6.2 billion in total value locked (TVL) across Ethereum and various Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync.

The review focused on the Solidity contracts deployed on Ethereum and the three primary Layer 2s, the Bitget DAO multi-signature wallet, the timelock contract, and the upgrade-proxy pattern used for core modules.

  • Emphasize risk assessment, testing levels, and handling real issues
