The CertiK Professional Services team assigned to KardiaChain reviewed the code implementation for the mainnet blockchain solution, effectively going through the most significant parts of the codebase responsible for the core functionality of the system, as pointed out in the project’s white paper.
A comprehensive examination has been performed, utilizing Static Analysis and Manual Review techniques. The auditing process focuses on the following considerations:
- Testing smart contracts against both common and uncommon attack vectors.
- Assessing the codebase to ensure compliance with current best practices and industry standards.
- Ensuring contract logic meets the specifications and intentions of the client.
- Cross-referencing contract structure and implementation against similar smart contracts produced by industry leaders.
- Through a line-by-line manual review of the entire codebase.
A total of 28 findings were reported on the vulnerability summary, the vast majority of which were informational (22), while only 2 minor and 4 major issues were identified. No critical issues were found during the auditing process, and the KardiaChain team alleviated all issues, pointing towards a well-written codebase by the team’s engineers.
