CertiK’s Smart Contract Audit of SkinChain’s SKC

About SkinChain

SkinChain, a blockchain platform exclusively for the cosmetic industry, aims to build an efficient product production and distribution ecosystem that can analyze integrated data and provide customized solutions. The algorithm analyzes 100 million skin types from surveys and genetic data to provide an optimized product curation for each community member.

The team prides itself on three primary value propositions:

  1. Providing products that make staying young and healthy a top priority
  2. Continually pursuing the fundamentals of beauty via human skin health research
  3. Maintaining user-focused operational policies and services

The team states*, “SkinChain is a project in which community participants actively participate in the use, improvement, and development of products — maximizing the overall effectiveness. Skin type test results, genome scan results, and any changes after purchases are stored and managed on the blockchain-based DID.”*

The Audit Process

CertiK worked closely with SkinChain to audit the design and implementation of its soon-to-be-released skinchain.sol smart contract. To ensure comprehensive protection, the source code was analyzed by the proprietary CertiK formal verification engine and manually reviewed by our smart contract experts and engineers.

Formal Verification mathematically proves that the code will work as intended, computing all possible scenarios. The process attempts to prove or disprove that the intended algorithms and protocols are working as intended. Rather than relying on error-prone human judgment, mathematical systems can compute across near-infinite scenarios.

By applying rigorous, complete mathematical reasoning to code, Formal Verification goes broader and deeper than any human team can.

The audit report itself is not necessarily a guarantee of correctness or trustworthiness, and we always recommend that teams seek multiple opinions, continually improve the codebase, and perform additional tests before release.

About CertiK

CertiK leads blockchain security by pioneering the use of cutting-edge Formal Verification technology on smart contracts and blockchains. Unlike traditional security audits, Formal Verification mathematically proves program correctness and hacker-resistance. CertiK was founded by professors of computer science at Yale University and Columbia University, securing billions in assets from many of the world’s top projects.

CertiK's research efforts have received grants from IBM and the Ethereum Foundation, and notable investors include Binance Labs, Bitmain, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, and NEO Global Capital, among others.

Technical Deep Dive | CertiK Helped Fix a DoS Vulnerability in Solana’s Big-Integer Modular Exponentiation

This article takes an in-depth look at the importance of blockchain transaction fee models and their critical role in ensuring network security and efficient operation. By comparing the transaction fee models of Ethereum and Solana, it highlights how unsafe transaction pricing can introduce network security risks. The article especially focuses on a compute-unit (CU) accounting error in Solana’s big-integer modular exponentiation syscall discovered and reported by the CertiK team, which could lead to a potential remote DoS attack. It further analyzes Solana’s smart-contract pricing model, PoH-related timing mechanics, and parallel transaction processing, and reproduces the remote DoS process and cost via experiments on a private Solana cluster.
