# Recommendations

Based on the identified vulnerabilities and security concerns, the following recommendations are provided to enhance the overall security of Race Protocol:

Part of this section is only accessible to the core team for security reasons. \
Once the identified issues are resolved they will be publicly revealed.
{% endhint %}

**Medium Priority:**

* **Address Network Delays in Game State Synchronization:**
  * Implement event sequencing or state reconciliation mechanisms to ensure consistent game state updates across different nodes, even in the presence of network delays. This will prevent inconsistencies and potential exploits arising from desynchronized game states.
* **Implement Event Loss Recovery Mechanisms:**
  * Introduce event acknowledgments or state snapshots to detect and recover from lost events during transmission. This will ensure the integrity and consistency of the game state across all participating nodes.

**Low Priority:**

* **Improve Code Clarity and Documentation:**
  * Add detailed comments and explanations within the code to enhance its readability and maintainability.
  * Create comprehensive documentation that clearly explains the design, architecture, and functionalities of the smart contract and other Race Protocol components. This will facilitate understanding and auditing by developers and security experts.
* **Diversify Encryption Methods:**
  * Consider adopting a hybrid approach that combines multiple encryption algorithms for data protection. This will provide defense in depth and mitigate the risk of a single point of failure if a vulnerability is discovered in one of the algorithms.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://team-race.gitbook.io/race-protocol/race-research/security-audit-report/recommendations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
