## Critical Properties Verified

### Economic Security Properties
1. ✅ **Bond Sizing**: Bond always >= 110% of deposit (or minimum)
2. ✅ **Slashing Correctness**: Slashing splits 50/50 correctly
3. ✅ **Economic Invariant**: Fraud is always unprofitable

### State Invariants
1. ✅ **No Double Processing**: Each depositId processed once
2. ✅ **Challenge Window**: Finalization only after window expires
3. ✅ **Bond State**: Bond cannot be both slashed and released
4. ✅ **Claim State**: Claim cannot be both finalized and challenged

### Access Control
1. ✅ **Authorization**: Only authorized addresses can call admin functions
2. ✅ **Permissionless**: Public functions accessible to all

### Reentrancy Protection
1. ✅ **No Reentrancy**: All state-changing functions protected
2. ✅ **External Calls**: Safe external call patterns

### Rate Limiting
1. ✅ **Cooldown Period**: 60-second cooldown enforced
2. ✅ **Hourly Limit**: 100 claims/hour limit enforced

### Fee Calculations
1. ✅ **Relayer Fees**: Fee = (amount * relayerFeeBps) / 10000
2. ✅ **LP Fees**: Fee calculation correctness

### Deposit Security
1. ✅ **Deposit ID Uniqueness**: No duplicate depositIds
2. ✅ **Replay Protection**: Nonce prevents duplicates
