Core DAO Joins Forces with Least Authority for Core’s L1 + Smart Contract Audits
As we march towards mainnet, Core DAO is excited to announce that we’ve hired Least Authority to perform an audit. Least Authority has been enabling the creation of “freedom-compatible technologies” for over a decade and are seen as some of the most experienced auditors in the industry.
We’ve been working with Least Authority on both Core’s L1 and system smart contracts. They’ve been leveraging manual reviews as well as automated vulnerability analysis to provide the most thorough analysis possible.
Core DAO believes that security is paramount and that as an industry we need to adopt a “security-first” mindset to better safeguard Core’s communities. Working with Least Authority is a great step towards achieving this mission.
About Least Authority
We believe that people have a fundamental right to privacy and that the use of secure solutions enables people to more freely use the Internet and other connected technologies. We provide security consulting services to help others make their solutions more resistant to unauthorized access to data and unintended manipulation of the system. We support teams from the design phase through the production launch and after.
The Least Authority team has skills for reviewing code in C, C++, Python, Haskell, Rust, Node.js, Solidity, Go, and JavaScript for common security vulnerabilities and specific attack vectors. The team has reviewed implementations of cryptographic protocols and distributed system architecture, including in cryptocurrency, blockchains, payments, and smart contracts. Additionally, the team can utilize various tools to scan code and networks and build custom tools as necessary.
Least Authority was formed in 2011 to create and further empower freedom-compatible technologies. We moved the company to Berlin in 2016 and continue to expand efforts. Although we are a small team, we believe that we can have a significant impact on the world by being transparent and open about the work we do.
