Basics

Audits

  • Also does security audits. Here is one on Compound.
  • "Developers working for startup OpenZeppelin found vulnerabilities in Move. “The vulnerability in the Move IR compiler allows malicious actors to introduce executable code to their smart contracts disguised as inline comments,” OpenZeppelin’s CEO Demian Brener told CoinDesk. Brener said the code was disclosed to Libra Aug. 6, with the Libra team evaluating and fixing the bug over the following month. As of Sept. 4, the patch was reviewed and confirmed to be fixed by OpenZeppelin."
  • ERC777 had two exploits (19/20-4-2020), on which OpenZepplin published an exploit on last summer.
  • Opyn had an audit by OpenZeppelin and still got hacked, however it was reported that the exploit was outside (5-8-2020) of the audit’s scope.
  • Audited the later hacked code (20-7-2021) of Saddle.
