Security Audits

Comprehensive security assessment and audit information for Aztecas smart contracts.

🔍 Audit Status

Current Status: Pre-Audit Phase

Aztecas is currently in active development and preparing for comprehensive security audits. We are committed to the highest security standards before mainnet deployment.

📋 Planned Audit Scope

Phase 1: Core Contract Audit

• Smart Contract Security: Complete review of all Noir smart contracts

• Economic Model Validation: AMM formula verification and edge case analysis

• Access Control Review: Admin functions and permission management

• Oracle Integration: Chainlink price feed security assessment

Phase 2: Infrastructure Audit

• Bridge Security: Cross-chain asset transfer mechanisms

• Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Cryptographic proof verification

• Private State Management: Privacy-preserving state transitions

• Network Integration: Aztec and Ethereum interaction security

🏢 Target Audit Firms

We are currently in discussions with top-tier blockchain security firms:

Tier 1 Audit Partners (Under Evaluation)

• ConsenSys Diligence: Specialized in DeFi and privacy protocols

• Trail of Bits: Expert in cryptographic protocol security

• OpenZeppelin: Comprehensive smart contract auditing

• Quantstamp: Automated and manual security verification

Specialized Zero-Knowledge Auditors

• ABDK Consulting: Advanced cryptographic protocol security

• Runtime Verification: Formal verification specialists

• Least Authority: Privacy-focused security auditing

📊 Pre-Audit Security Measures

Implemented Security Practices

• ✅ Automated Testing: 100+ unit tests covering all functions

• ✅ Integration Testing: Full end-to-end workflow verification

• ✅ Static Analysis: Continuous code quality monitoring

• ✅ Formal Verification: Mathematical proof of critical properties

Security Tools in Use
