What Is a Smart Contract Security Audit?
A smart contract security audit provides a detailed analysis of a project's smart contracts. These are important to safeguard funds invested through them. As all transactions on the blockchain are final, funds cannot be retrieved should they be stolen. Typically, auditors will examine the code of smart contracts, produce a report, and provide it to the project for them to work with. A final report is then released, detailing any outstanding errors and the work already done to address performance or security issues.

About Lesson

Fortunately for investors and users, smart contract audits have become a golden standard. However, when every project has one, it’s no longer an easy indicator of value. This is why it’s incredibly important to read the audit yourself. Even if you don’t have the technical knowledge, it’s helpful to take a look at the comments and severity of potential issues.

When you do come across an audit, you should now at least have an easier time understanding its contents. As always, make sure that any investment decision looks at the whole picture and takes all information into account.
