Comprehensive Guide to Smart Contract Security

Ensuring security, like any other task, is a meticulous and intricate endeavor. Our approach emphasizes a thorough examination of each step involved in fortifying your smart contract. Dive into this guide to gain insights into our comprehensive process. Starting with grasping the essence of your project and its unique requirements, to crafting a report highlighting potential vulnerabilities, we are committed to ushering you into a safer blockchain future.

Specification Gathering

This stage is pivotal as thoroughness is essential for a successful smart contract security audit. We will collect the specifications from you to understand the desired behavior of the smart contract. During this phase, please provide a concise summary of the contract's intended function. Additionally, we will obtain specifications via forms.

Manual Review

Goals of manual review

  • Verify that every detail in the specification is implemented in smart contract.

  • Verify that the contract does not have any behavior that is not specified in specifications.

  • Verify that contract does not violate original intended behavior of specifications.


Here we would look for undefined, unexpected behavior and common security vulnerabilities like

  • Re-entrance

  • Overflows

  • Uncheck return values for low-level calls

  • Denial of service

  • Bad randomness

  • Front running

  • Time manipulation

  • Short address attack

  • Unknown vulnerabilities

  • The goal is to get to as many skilled eyes on contract code as possible

Manual testing

  • Smart contract will be manually deployed on any of the test network (Ropsten/Rinkeby) using remix IDE. All the transaction hashes will be recorded.

  • Gas consumptions and behavior of functions also noted.

Functional Testing

The smart contract will be manually deployed in a sandbox environment like testnet/mainnet forks, hardhat,ganache, etcSmart contract functions will be tested on multiple parameters and under multiple conditions to ensure that all paths of functions are functioning as intended.In this phase, the intended behavior of the smart contract is verified.In this phase, we would also ensure that smart contract functions are not consuming unnecessary gas.Gas limits of functions will be verified in this stage.

Testing with Automated Tools

Testing with automated tools is important to catch those bugs that humans miss. Some of the tools we would use are
  • Slither
  • Mythril
  • Oyente
  • Manticore
  • Solgraph
  • Solidity Coverage

Initial Audit Report

At the end, we would provide you a comprehensive report along with details of audit and steps to cover up with the vulnerabilities if we found any in your contracts.

Final Audit Report

After initial audit fixes, process is repeated again and Final audit report is delivered.

Post-Audit

Social Media Announcements
  • As per your requests from you, we make an Audit Announcement from our social media handles to mark the completion of the Audit.

AMA Sessions
  • Expert Auditors Explaining the Nuances of the Audit Report
  • QnA and Direct Interaction with Your Audience to Build Trust in Your Project

Niche Targeted PR Services
  • Articles & Guest Posts in Renowned Publications
  • Cross-Platform Promotions to Give More Exposure to the Project
