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.

How do I prepare for a smart contract audit?

To prepare for a smart contract audit, ensure your code is complete, follows best practices, and is well-documented. Provide clear functional and technical requirements, set up the development environment, and include comprehensive unit tests. This helps auditors thoroughly review your project and deliver the best results.

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

Smart Contract Audit

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.

Prevent costly exploits, protect your users, and build investor trust. Hacken's proven audit process, with over 1500 projects secured and $140 billion+ in assets protected, combined with strategic partnerships, provides security and visibility your project deserves.

What is a smart contract audit?

A smart contract audit is a detailed assessment of the contract's code to identify security issues, incorrect or inefficient coding, and potential optimizations.

During the audit, Hacken's security experts help you to:

Identify vulnerabilities and attack vectors like reentrancy attacks, integer overflows, and weak access controls—the leading cause of crypto losses in 2024, accounting for 75% of all exploits.
Align your code with industry-standard security frameworks such as the SWC Registry and OWASP, minimizing risk and ensuring compliance with blockchain security standards.
Improve the performance of your smart contracts by optimizing code for efficiency and scalability, reducing gas fees, and enhancing transaction throughput for high-volume projects.
Train your developers in smart contract security best practices and equip them with the latest tools and techniques to write secure and efficient code.
