Near Protocol launches smart contract audit
- What is it? Smart contract audit is an examination of the code made to discover possible issues or security vulnerabilities and to fix them and improve the contract.
- What’s to come? Both auditor and auditees will benefit from this. There is a new auditor ingest form — for interested smart contract auditors to illustrate their capabilities. And an audit request form — for projects to ask for an audit.
- What’s the benefit? Near Foundation says it is “an important step in growing an ecosystem of trusted security partners, and ensuring availability of quality audits for NEAR-related audits”. An extended list of auditors means wide variety and competitive prices for project owners and safer DeFi space for the common users. Win-win!
- MNW thoughts: What an amazing initiative, especially during these hard times. Safe audited dApps mean wider adoption for NEAR!
