+## Audit & verification status
+
+Top-level index for the security verification status of contracts in this repository. Each package maintains its own status matrix in `contracts/<package>/audits/README.md`.
+
+### Packages
+
+| Package | Tag prefix | Upgradability | Status matrix |
+| ------- | ---------- | ------------- | ------------- |
+| Confidential Wrapper | `wrapper` | Upgradable (UUPS) | [`contracts/confidential-wrapper/audits`](./contracts/confidential-wrapper/audits/README.md) |
+| Confidential Token Wrappers Registry | `registry` | Upgradable (UUPS) | [`contracts/confidential-token-wrappers-registry/audits`](./contracts/confidential-token-wrappers-registry/audits/README.md) |
+| Staking | `staking` | Mixed | [`contracts/staking/audits`](./contracts/staking/audits/README.md) |
+| Governance | `governance` | Immutable | [`contracts/governance/audits`](./contracts/governance/audits/README.md) |
+| Token (EVM) | `token` | Immutable | [`contracts/token/audits`](./contracts/token/audits/README.md) |
+| Solana OFT | `solanaOFT` | Immutable | [`contracts/solanaOFT/audits`](./contracts/solanaOFT/audits/README.md) |
+| Fees Burner | `fees` | Immutable | [`contracts/feesBurner/audits`](./contracts/feesBurner/audits/README.md) |
+| Pauser Set Wrapper | `pauserSetWrapper` | Immutable | [`contracts/pauserSetWrapper/audits`](./contracts/pauserSetWrapper/audits/README.md) |
+| Safe (Admin Module) | `safe` | Immutable | [`contracts/safe/audits`](./contracts/safe/audits/README.md) |
+
+### Conventions
+
+#### Git tags
+
+Each package uses its own scoped semver tag: `<prefix>-vX.Y.Z`. See the Tag prefix column above.
+
+- For **upgradable** contracts, a tag is a candidate source snapshot for a proxy upgrade; the matching row in the package's status matrix is filled in once the tag has been audited and/or deployed.
+- For **immutable** contracts, a tag is the source snapshot for a specific on-chain deployment.
+
+#### Verification tracks
+
+Columns used in each package's status matrix:
+
+- **Pre-deploy audit** — external audit on the source contracts and deployment scripts before deployment.
+- **Post-deploy audit** — external review of the deployed bytecode, configuration, and state against the audited source.
+- **Fuzzing and invariants** — property-based fuzzing and invariant tests run against the release.
+
+#### Status
+
+Each row in a package's status matrix carries a **Status** value indicating where that tag sits in its lifecycle:
+
+- **Upcoming** — tag is planned or in audit, not yet deployed.
+- **Active** — tag is the currently deployed source for at least one chain.
+- **Sunset** — tag has been superseded by a later version and is no longer the active deployment.
+- **Skipped** — tag existed (and may have been audited) but was never deployed and has been passed over in favor of a later version.
+
+#### Deployed addresses
+
+See [`docs/addresses/`](./docs/addresses/README.md) for the current on-chain addresses of each package across all supported chains.
