Smart Contract Audit
Auditing your smart contracts in development with AI tools.
Conducting a smart contract audit involves a thorough examination of the code to ensure it is secure, efficient, and free of vulnerabilities.
Here are the steps typically involved in a smart contract audit:
Pre-Audit Preparation:
Code Review: Collect all the smart contract code, including any dependencies and libraries.
Documentation: Gather all relevant documentation, including the whitepaper, design documents, and specifications.
Static Analysis:
Automated Tools: Use automated tools like Mythril, Slither, and Oyente to perform static analysis on the code. These tools can help identify common vulnerabilities like reentrancy, integer overflows, and underflows.
Code Linting: Ensure the code follows best practices and coding standards.
Manual Review:
Line-by-Line Analysis: Manually review the code line-by-line to identify any potential vulnerabilities that automated tools might have missed.
Logic Review: Verify that the logic of the smart contract aligns with the intended behavior and specifications.
Access Control: Ensure proper implementation of access controls and permissions.
Gas Optimization: Check for areas where the gas usage can be optimized.
Testing:
Unit Testing: Write and run comprehensive unit tests to ensure individual functions work as expected.
Integration Testing: Test how different parts of the smart contract interact with each other.
Simulation: Use tools like Ganache or Hardhat to simulate various scenarios and edge cases.
Security Analysis:
Vulnerability Scanning: Scan for known vulnerabilities such as reentrancy, front-running, and denial of service.
Formal Verification: For critical contracts, consider using formal verification methods to mathematically prove the correctness of the code.
Penetration Testing: Perform penetration testing to identify potential attack vectors.
Reporting:
Audit Report: Compile a detailed audit report that includes all findings, potential vulnerabilities, and recommended fixes.
Recommendations: Provide clear and actionable recommendations for improving the security and performance of the smart contract.
Post-Audit:
Remediation: Work with the development team to address and fix the identified issues.
Re-Audit: If significant changes are made, conduct a re-audit to ensure all issues have been resolved and no new issues have been introduced.
