L1 Chain Audit

An L1 chain audit provides a comprehensive security assessment of a Layer 1 blockchain to identify vulnerabilities and recommend ways to fix them.

Fast and Accurate L1 Chain Security Audits

Our industry-leading L1 chain auditing process combines expert manual review of smart contract code with advanced AI and mathematical techniques to ensure blockchain protocols work as intended.

Accurate Findings

Effective findings culminated through performing thousands of audits and a cross-check against a large internal database of security vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability & Remediation

Clients receive rich reports on their smart contract code, complete with comprehensive vulnerability analyses and recommended remediations.

Experience & Flexibility

CertiK audits all of Web3, from decentralized applications to the blockchains they’re built on. We work closely with clients to deliver tailor-made security solutions.

L1 Chain Audit Process

How Does an L1 Chain Audit Work?

Every audit involves comprehensive manual review by our team of experienced security experts. Formal verification certifies L1 chain code behavior with respect to custom function specifications, helping developers get a handle on the entire scope of their platform. The process of auditing an L1 is the same as for auditing a smart contract. The five-step process is as follows:

What’s in a L1 Chain Audit Report?

Audit reports are comprehensive, fully transparent records that detail all identified vulnerabilities. These are classified by severity from Critical to Informational. Suggested remediation from our team of smart contract security experts accompany each vulnerability.

Vulnerabilities that are addressed before launch are marked as resolved. Issues acknowledged but unresolved are accompanied by a description of their potential effects and the project team’s justification.

Projects that undergo a completed audit earn a spot on the Skynet Leaderboard . This gives the entire Web3 community a powerful demonstration of a project’s commitment to security.

As part of our commitment to transparency and an open-source Web3 world, L1 chain audit reports are freely available to the public.
