Nim threat model

!!! warning This auditors' handbook is frozen and obsolete; the Nim language manual alongside other Nim documentation, Status Nim style guide, Chronos guides, and Nim by Example supercede it.

Nim and its standard library are not the focus of the audits.

In particular the codebase intentionally limits reliance on the standard library so that it is not tied to Nim release schedule, instead of the standard library we use stew most of the time: https://github.com/status-im/nim-stew.

Nim standard library is implemented here:

• https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/tree/v1.2.4/lib

We target Nim v1.2.2
