A smart-contract audit is a professional security review of a protocol’s code before (and after) launch — auditors hunt for reentrancy, oracle, access control, and logic bugs, then publish findings with severity ratings. Top firms (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, Zellic) are booked months out.
Why it matters
“Audited” is necessary but not sufficient: audits catch known bug classes, never guarantee safety — most hacked protocols *were* audited. Read audits like a skeptic: how many criticals were found, were they actually fixed, and has the code changed since? No audit, no deposit. Audit plus complacency, still no deposit.
