Security Audit

A security audit is a professional review of a blockchain project's smart contract code, protocol design, or infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, bugs, and potential exploits before they can be exploited by attackers. Audits are typically conducted by specialized firms such as Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, Certik, or Halborn. While an audit significantly reduces risk, it does not guarantee a project is completely safe. In DeFi, the presence (or absence) of an audit is one of the first things users check before depositing funds.
