Smart Contract Audit

A security review of a smart contract's code by independent expert reviewers looking for bugs, vulnerabilities, logic errors, and attack vectors. Audits by firms such as Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, Certora, Spearbit, and ChainSecurity are considered quality signals — though not guarantees of security. All major DeFi protocols undergo multiple audits before launch. Audit reports are typically published publicly.
