Smart contract audit

A scoped security review of smart-contract code and the assumptions around it.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

An audit report identifies what was reviewed and which issues were found. The code version matters: later upgrades may sit outside the review. Findings, fixes and assumptions tell more than an audited badge, especially when an application depends on other contracts or external data sources.

How you might use it

"The report covers version one. The app now uses an upgraded contract, so I'm checking what the review actually included."
