  1. The prestige of a smart contract security audit

  2. The prestige of a smart contract security audit More than simply a poor programming effort may be seen in a susceptible smart contract. Reputational harm and initiatives that took months or years to finish may result from it. As a result, those programmers now include smart contract audits in their list of project development phases. The procedure delivers the following unexpected advantages: Enhanced hacker defences, expensive smart contract code mistakes avoided, and safer decentralised financial goods Greater credibility in a field that is becoming more competitive as well as greater credit for the project

  3. The security auditing procedure for smart contracts A smart contract is audited using a method that is essentially standard. Although every auditor may adopt a somewhat different strategy, the accepted practise is as follows: 1. Define the Audit Scope The smart contract and design requirements are defined by the design (and its intended application) and universal architecture. When creating and running code, the audit team can comprehend the project's goals thanks to a specification. The smart contract specifications and other related papers provide in-depth justifications for the project's architecture, development process, and design decisions. Typically, an explanation of the specification may be found in the project's README record.

  4. 2. Unit Test In this circumstance, it is the developer's obligation to write unit tests. The auditor checks that the smart contract functions as intended by executing unit tests. In order to guarantee that unit testing takes into account all pertinent risks, smart contract auditors now use network testing and auditing techniques. Additionally, testing gives smart contract auditors informal documentation that adds more information about the intended functionality of the project. 3. Manual Audit The crucial phase of the audit procedure. Each code risk is examined by the auditor for mistakes.

  5. 4. Automatic Audit Following the manual audit, the auditor uses auditing software like Slither, Scribble, Mythril, and MythX to do a thorough audit of the code. A smart contract audit is advised by auditors based on found vulnerabilities and code optimization. 5. Initial Report The auditor draughts a preliminary version of the report and makes note of any errors they uncover. The project development team will then get this document for evaluation and any necessary adjustments. 6. Final Report The last phase in the smart contract audit process is the final writing of an audit report. Before creating a thorough audit report, auditors must conduct both human and automated testing and research procedures. After considering every action the team made to address the concerns mentioned, they publish the final report.
