CertiK has completed a security audit of the Ocean Protocol Token and confirms the quality of smart contracts
The CertiK team has recently completed a security audit for Ocean Protocol, a decentralized data exchange protocol to enable safe sharing of data that is borderless and privacy-preserving, unlocking the value of data for AI and beyond. To preview the summary of the official audit report, please visit here.
CertiK’s team of experts indicated that Ocean Protocol’s smart contract code is of high quality. There were no critical vulnerabilities detected, and overall, the code style is well-written, achieving correctness by aligning technical implementation with the developers’ specification. CertiK congratulates the Ocean Protocol team for passing the rigorous verification process.
Audit Process and Results
The OCEAN token contract strictly follows the standard ERC20 interface with a minimal set of additional features for central governance and life cycle management. CertiK has assigned 3 experts for this audit project and delivered the report within 4 business days. The audit team closely analyzed the smart contract using a variety of tools, including an automated Formal Verification engine, static/dynamic analysis, and in-depth expert review.
Thanks to a very detailed wiki page and design documents from the Ocean Protocol team, the verification and audit process was straightforward and efficient. Many healthy discussions and interactions were conducted to clarify that 1) the specification met the implementation and 2) the best solution was used to achieve the desired goals.
The contract uses efficient storage to fulfill the business requirements and contains the proper intervention mechanism to prevent human errors. CertiK concludes that the OCEAN token is in a well-tested and secure state, not vulnerable to known antipatterns or bugs. Nevertheless, the CertiK team advises token holders to be conscious of the administrative authority of the contract owner, who has the ability to perform critical actions, such as pause, mint, and kill.
