Security Auditors find no issues with Harbour ICO contracts

We are delighted to announced that Harbour has received the results of a thorough security audit of our ICO contract.

Security is — quite rightly — foremost on everyone’s mind. In conformity with industry-recognized best practices, we believe that all code, however simple or compartmentalized, should be reviewed for security by an external team of experts.

These experts just finished their review, and here is what they have to say —

“The contracts have no security issues. Both the development of the contracts and crowdsale have been carried out with best practices. The Harbour DAO team has set a high bar in responsible crowdfunding.”

For those not familiar with security audits, they essentially consist of a team of experts looking at our code through a hacker’s eyes, trying to find security holes or vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

We build our smart contracts for security from the bottom up. Our software architecture is guided by the principles of security by simplicity, and security by compartmentalization. But we still wanted extra eyes on it, so we reached out to Matthew Di Ferrante, a blockchain and cryptography expert with ZK Labs, and Harry Roberts, a Senior Security Analyst at Xiphos.

They put our smart contracts through a series of tests, using all the tools a hacker would try to use to crack them open, and were unable to find any issues.

This external security audit validates our confidence that Harbour will hold up against any malicious attacks.
