DAOstack’s smart contract security audit has been completed

ChainSecurity has successfully completed a security audit of the DAOstack smart contracts. The audit process was performed over the course of 4 weeks and involved 4 security experts. The full report, including the scope of the audit, findings and considered properties, is available here.

During the investigation ChainSecurity noted that the project is of high quality, employs good coding practices and has clean code. Despite the system’s complexity the DAO maintain a clear overall structure thanks to the high degree of modularity and low coupling between components.

The system’s specifications were verified against a set of general and adversarial assumptions and an attacker model. As a result ChainSecurity was able to uncover several security vulnerabilities of varying severity as well as propose design optimizations and improvements. Most notably, a missing verification check would allow beneficiaries to redeem their reputation multiple times.

Finally, ChainSecurity remarks that all vulnerabilities and issues were professionally and swiftly addressed by the DAOstack team leading to a more resilient, efficient and secure system.
