Hey everyone,
Recently, my friends were discussing their budget for smart contract audit for their DeFi projects. It helped me to learn what’s actually covered in the smart contract audit cost.
From what I've gathered, the price typically includes:
Manual code review by security experts Automated vulnerability scanning Testing for common attack vectors Gas optimization analysis Formal verification (for some auditors) Initial report with findings Remediation phase for fixing issues Final audit report Prices for the audit of a smart contract are highly variable, depending on the complexity and size of your contract, the reputation of your auditor, and the depth of analysis. Some firms offer tiered packages with different levels of scrutiny.
Has anyone here gone through the process recently? What was your experience with the pricing and what was included? Any tips for negotiating or getting the best value?
