### $WHUF Token & Sale Contract Audit

The $WHUF token contract and token sale contracts were audited by Guardian in 2026. All critical and high severity findings were resolved prior to deployment.

Guardian also reviewed the $WHUF transfer lock in September 2026 and found informational issues only.
