Smart contract audit process


RECONNAISSANCE

The primary goal of the first phase is to build up clarity with respect to the intended workings of the codebase. Initially, this is attained through rigorous internal discussions on the whitepaper/ architecture document provided. This helps build an initial understanding of the system which leads to the building of test-case scenarios. After this phase, the auditors end up with the preliminary semantics of the system.

CODE REVIEW

Regardless of the language used, we make sure that your code is in accordance with the latest standards of code correctness. Starting off, our manual code review is vulnerability specific; this includes all publicly reported issues as well as our own registry of errors. After that, an automated review is carried out using multiple tools and any flags raised are retested. After static analysis, we move towards the extensive execution of the test cases in search of any vulnerabilities.

FORMAL VERIFICATION (optional)

In order to provide an extra layer of fortification, we use certain techniques to formally verify all functionalities of the code. Being an extensive process, formal verification is available upon request. This includes symbolic execution using Scribble/ k-language and fuzzing using Echidna.

CERTIFICATION

A detailed initial audit report is shared and the findings are communicated to the stakeholders in an inclusive manner. After the fixes have been made, a final review is carried out which results in another report being issued that certifies that the smart contract is free from potential threats and blockchain risks. However, we do not claim that the contracts are resistant to any kind of zero-day attack vectors and penetration techniques.
