The Audit
The FrenchICO team asked CertiK to conduct a security audit of the design and implementation of their Minime-based smart contracts.
In CertiK’s comprehensive audit, the source code was conducted by a variety of methods and tools such as CertiK’s Formal Verification engine as well as manual review by the team’s smart contract experts. Formal Verification mathematically ensures that the contract runs exactly as its intended to by calculating it against every possible value for all variables.
The auditing process paid special attention to the following considerations:
- Testing the smart contracts against both common and uncommon attack vectors
- Assessment of the codebase for best practice 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
- Thorough line by line manual review of the entire codebase by industry experts

CertiK directly interacted with FrenchICO’S team of engineers to fix critical loopholes and address design changes throughout the audit process. After timely enhancements to the source code, we found the contracts to follow good practices and are currently not vulnerable to any classically known anti-patterns or security issues at the time.
