Yield Farming and Liquidity Pools: Our smart contract auditors ensure that the smart contracts used for projects involving yield farming and liquidity provision are free from any vulnerability that can jeopardize user assets and rewards.

Decentralized
applications (DApps)

Code Audit: Smart contract audits conducted by our team of expert auditors help identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the code and provide actionable recommendations for their mitigation.

Architecture and Design: The audit involves multi-prong checks that cover DApp's architecture and design, data storage, communication protocols, and access control methods.

External Integrations: Our auditors also review integrations with external APIs and assess the security of third-party services used by the DApp to prevent unauthorized access and ensure secure communication.

The Stages of Smart Contract Audit

To streamline the complex process of smart contract auditing, we have defined the following stages all projects must go through.

The output of this process is a comprehensive, effective, actionable, and time-bound analysis report prepared and finalized by our experienced auditors.

1. Preparatory Stage

Get introduced to the project and its goals.

Gather all relevant documentation (lite paper, white paper, code specifications) to understand the smart contract's intended behavior.

Define the scope of the audit, the objectives, and focus areas for the audit process.

2. Automated Evaluation and Unit Testing

Utilize automated tools such as Slither, Echidna, Mythril, SmartCheck, Remix, and Solhint to assess code quality.

Write custom unit test cases to conduct tests in addition to test suites provided by the smart contract developers, if any.

Discover logical bugs using the fuzzing test suite, designed to trigger unexpected or invalid behavior in the system

3. Manual Examination

Scan the code line-by-line to find vulnerabilities and suggest remediation while ensuring it aligns with the business logic outlined in the documentation.

Assess the gas consumption of the contract functions and provide recommendations on optimizing gas usage.

Evaluate the quality of the code and recommend best practices such as code commenting, structure, variable naming, and elimination of duplicated code

4. Preliminary Audit Report

Auditors document their findings and recommendations in a report, which clients review to gain insights into the assessment.

Developers implement necessary changes and fixes in the code based on the audit findings. The refined code is subsequently shared with the auditors for a final review.

5. Final Audit Report

The audit team verifies the accurate implementation of the recommendations made in the preliminary audit report.

The code is again refactored to improve readability and performance, remove code duplication, and ensure that the code's external behavior remains unchanged.

After all fixes have been applied, auditors consolidate the findings and analyses into a final report, which is then submitted to the client for review and reference.

6. Post-Audit Support and Revisions

After receiving the final audit report, developers revise the code to address the identified vulnerabilities and implement the recommended changes made in the final audit report.

The audit team provides further support and clarification during this stage if needed.

Common Vulnerabilities Checked During a Smart Contract Audit

Reentrancy Attacks

Reentrancy attacks occur when a contract calls an external contract before it has finished executing its logic. If the external contract calls back into the original contract, it can exploit unguarded state changes.

Integer Overflow/Underflow

Integer overflow and underflow vulnerabilities happen when the result of an arithmetic operation exceeds the maximum or goes below the minimum representable value for the data type.

Unchecked External Calls

If external calls are not properly checked, malicious contracts can be called without verifying the success or failure of the call, leading to unexpected behavior.

Front-Running Attacks

Front-running occurs when an attacker exploits the order of transactions in the mempool to execute trades at the expense of others

Gas Limit Attacks

Attackers can craft transactions that require excessive computational resources, leading to out-of-gas errors and failed transactions.

Access Control Issues:

Incorrectly configured access control can allow unauthorized users to perform sensitive actions.

Timestamp Dependence

Relying on timestamps can be risky because miners can manipulate timestamps to some extent.

Lack of Proper Input Validation:

Failure to validate user inputs can lead to unexpected behavior and vulnerabilities.

Function visibility errors

Functions intended to be private are left susceptible to unauthorized access and manipulation when the default visibility of functions is not changed from 'public' to 'private.'

FAQs

Blockchain is constantly evolving as a technology, and the process of smart contract auditing is also changing along with it.Here, we have listed the questions commonly asked about smart contract auditing as a service

Reach out to us if you have any other queries.

Smart contract auditing is the process that involves (manual and automated) analysis of the smart contract's code and functionality to identify potential vulnerabilities, security risks, and flaws in the business logic.

Smart contract auditing is conducted to ensure that the smart contract behaves as intended and is not prone to attacks, exploits, or unintended behaviors that could result in financial losses or other negative consequences.

To make our audits foolproof, along with careful line-by-line manual auditing of the code, we also use various automated tools that ensure that the code is free from the slightest of vulnerabilities, which a malicious hacker could exploit.

We utilize the following tools for automated auditing:

  • Static analysis tools such as Slither and Mythril to scan the codebase to identify potential vulnerabilities and security issues.
  • Dynamic analysis tools like Manticore for dynamic analysis where a smart contract is executed in a controlled environment while exploring different execution paths to find vulnerabilities.
  • Fuzz testing tools like Echidna is used to generate random inputs to the smart contract in order to identify unexpected behaviors and vulnerabilities.

For an effective and foolproof audit, we conduct smart contract auditing by combining the advantages of manual analysis and automated tools while nullifying their respective limitations.
