What is a Smart Contract Audit?
A smart contract audit is a comprehensive security assessment of blockchain-based applications to identify vulnerabilities, code flaws, and security weaknesses before deployment. Unlike traditional software, smart contracts are immutable once deployed, making pre-deployment security audits crucial.
At Reconix, our blockchain security specialists conduct thorough audits of smart contracts across various platforms including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon, and other EVM-compatible chains. We combine automated analysis tools with manual code review to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools alone might miss.
Our smart contract audit services help DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, DAOs, and other Web3 projects secure their code, protect user funds, and build trust with their communities. We provide detailed reports with actionable remediation guidance to address identified vulnerabilities.

Our Smart Contract Audit Methodology
Reconix follows a comprehensive, multi-stage approach to smart contract auditing to ensure thorough security assessment.
Scope Definition & Contract Analysis
We begin by defining the audit scope and analyzing contract architecture, dependencies, and intended functionality to understand your project's unique requirements and potential risk areas.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
We use specialized tools such as Mythril, Slither, and MythX to perform static analysis and identify common vulnerabilities, including reentrancy, overflow/underflow, and gas optimization issues.
Manual Code Review
Our blockchain security specialists conduct line-by-line manual review of your smart contracts to identify logic flaws, custom vulnerabilities, and other issues that automated tools might miss.
Economic & Tokenomic Analysis
For DeFi and token projects, we analyze economic models to identify potential attack vectors, extreme market condition vulnerabilities, and design flaws that could impact protocol stability.
Dynamic Analysis & Verification
We perform dynamic testing and verification of smart contract functionality through function tracing, property verification, and testing edge cases to ensure contracts behave as expected.
Comprehensive Reporting
You receive a detailed audit report including an executive summary, technical findings with severity classifications, exploit scenarios, and specific recommendations for fixing identified vulnerabilities.
Remediation Support & Verification
After you've implemented fixes, we conduct a verification review to ensure all identified vulnerabilities have been properly addressed before your contracts are deployed.
Common Smart Contract Vulnerabilities
Our audits identify and help you remediate these critical smart contract security issues
Reentrancy Attacks
Vulnerabilities that allow attackers to recursively call back into a contract to drain funds before state updates are processed.
Access Control Flaws
Improper implementation of permission controls that could allow unauthorized access to critical functions.
Integer Overflow/Underflow
Arithmetic operations that exceed variable size limits, potentially leading to unexpected behavior and security breaches.
Front-Running Vulnerabilities
Transaction ordering exploitation that allows malicious actors to profit at the expense of other users.
Logic Flaws
Implementation errors in business logic that create exploitable conditions not captured by standard security checks.
Oracle Manipulation
Vulnerabilities in price feed integration that could allow price manipulation and protocol exploitation.
Flash Loan Attack Vectors
Vulnerabilities that could be exploited through large uncollateralized loans to manipulate markets or drain protocols.
Gas Optimization Issues
Inefficient code that leads to excessive gas consumption or potential denial of service conditions.
Unsafe External Calls
Improper handling of external contract interactions that could lead to unexpected behavior or security breaches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smart Contract Audits
Get answers to common questions about our blockchain security services
When should I get my smart contracts audited?
Smart contracts should be audited after your code is feature-complete but before deployment to a mainnet. Ideally, the audit should be scheduled when your contracts are stable but still allow time for implementing fixes before your intended launch date. We recommend allowing at least 2-4 weeks between the audit completion and your planned deployment to ensure all identified issues can be properly addressed.
How long does a smart contract audit take?
The duration of a smart contract audit depends on the complexity and size of your codebase. Typically, a comprehensive audit takes 1-3 weeks. Simple token contracts might require only a few days, while complex DeFi protocols with multiple interconnected contracts could take 3-4 weeks. During the scoping process, we'll provide a more precise timeline based on your specific requirements.
Do you offer emergency audit services?
Yes, we offer expedited audit services for time-sensitive projects, though availability depends on our current workload. Emergency audits typically incur additional costs due to the accelerated timeline. Contact us with your specific requirements, and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline while maintaining audit thoroughness.
What information do you need to provide a quote for an audit?
To provide an accurate quote, we typically need: GitHub repository access or code files, documentation describing contract functionality and architecture, estimated lines of code or contract size, project timeline and any specific deadlines, and any specific security concerns you want us to focus on. More detailed information helps us provide a more accurate estimate.
Can an audit guarantee my smart contracts are 100% secure?
No audit can guarantee 100% security, as new vulnerabilities and attack vectors emerge continuously in the blockchain space. Our audits significantly reduce security risks by identifying known vulnerabilities and logic flaws, but they cannot eliminate all possible risks. We recommend combining audits with other security best practices like formal verification, bug bounty programs, and gradual deployment strategies for comprehensive security.
