Hello, community! Today, on Day 10, we talk about the magic word that means security in decentralized finance: AUDIT.
If a dApp is not audited, it is like driving a car without brakes. 🛑
🧐 What is dApp Auditing in simple terms?
An audit is when a team of security experts reviews, line by line, the code of a DeFi protocol or a dApp before it is launched to the public.
Their mission: To find bugs or "holes" before a hacker finds them.
🛠️ What Are Auditors Looking For? (3 Key Points)
Imagine that the auditor is a detective looking for three types of problems:
1. The Logic Error 🧠
Problem: The contract is designed to do A, but a bug in the code causes it to do B under certain conditions (for example, it miscalculates rewards).
They look for: Design flaws that could paralyze the project.
2. The Theft of Funds (Reentrancy!) 💰
Problem: The most famous failure in Web3. It allows an attacker to withdraw your funds multiple times from the same transaction.
They look for: Secure implementation of transfers so that the thief cannot "re-enter."
3. The Admin's Secret Control 🔑
Problem: Critical functions (like changing fees or freezing funds) that should be controlled by the community, but are in the hands of a single person or a small group.
They look for: Ensuring that control is truly decentralized.
✨ How to Recognize a Trustworthy dApp (Tip for Investors)
When researching a new dApp:
Look for the Seal: Check if they publish their audit report (e.g., from Certik, PeckShield, or Consensys).
Check the Severity: Read the report. Were critical flaws found and were they all fixed?
Question: If there is no audit, publicly ask: "What is your security plan?"
Remember: In Web3, your security is your responsibility. Always look for the audit certificate!
💬 Question of the Day 10:
Mention a famous dApp that you use or admire that has an excellent security reputation (e.g., Uniswap, Aave). I look forward to your comments! 👇
