How long does a smart contract audit take?

The timeline for a smart contract audit depends on the complexity of the project. We begin with an evaluation phase to estimate the scope, timeline, and cost. Typically, audits are completed within a few weeks, but we work closely with you to meet your specific deadlines.

How much does a smart contract audit cost?

On average, a smart contract audit costs from $15,000 to $22,000. The cost and duration of the audit depend on many factors, such as the complexity of the project, the amount of code, and the customer’s timeline. After reviewing your code, we will be able to provide you with approximate figures.

What happens if vulnerabilities are found?

On identifying vulnerabilities, we provide a detailed report outlining the issues and recommending solutions. After you’ve addressed the findings, we conduct a follow-up review to ensure all vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated.

Q: What is a smart contract audit?

A smart contract audit is a thorough review and analysis of a smart contract’s code to identify and fix security vulnerabilities, logical errors, and compliance issues. During an audit, security experts examine the contract’s logic, functions, and dependencies, using both automated tools and manual reviews. The goal is to prevent issues such as developer errors, potential exploits, or external threats that could compromise the contract’s integrity and the assets it manages.

Our smart contract auditors thoroughly review your contract’s code to ensure top-tier security, flawless operation, and full compliance with industry standards. This involves examining logic, functions, and dependencies to guarantee safety and reliability and prevent issues from developer errors, potential vulnerabilities, and external threats.
