Practical overview
When it fits
Use the workflow when an open-source contract is in its final development stage and ready for security review. The README recommends separate debugging and testing tools for finding and checking code issues during development.
Who it is for
- Teams preparing an open-source smart contract for a human security review.
- Token and NFT project developers considering the documented Standard audit path.
- Requesters who want to track an audit discussion and consult published reports.
Documented uses
- Submit a smart-contract audit request through GitHub Issues or Telegram.
- Follow the request thread and locate the completed report.
- Compare the stated review paths for standard, non-standard, and post-launch-support needs.
Requirements & limits
The README allows requests through GitHub Issues or an open Telegram channel. It describes paid audit options and says a first audit may be considered free following a public announcement, subject to recognition and queue handling. Published reports are available in repository issues.
- Standard is described for common project types such as ERC20, ERC223, ERC721, ERC721A tokens, and NFTs; Advanced is for non-standard projects needing more careful review.
- The README specifies two auditors for Standard and three for Advanced and Corporate.
- Corporate includes bug-bounty handling and one month of technical support regarding security enhancements.
- The README says any user can request an audit of an open-source contract, even without developer confirmation, while queue priorities determine handling.
- Updated contracts undergo a full re-audit according to the README; it suggests modular contracts or automated tests as ways to avoid unnecessary re-audits after changes.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Provide public recognition links for an audit request
Add links to public announcements to an existing audit-request discussion for consideration for a free audit.
Before you start
- An audit request already submitted.
- A public announcement of the audit request on a social media platform.
Steps
Announce the audit request publicly, for example on Twitter, Reddit, Bitcointalk, or Facebook.
Add links to the public announcement in the audit request’s comment thread.
Expected outcome
The announcement links are available in the request discussion for the team to consider when tracking recognition and audit priority.
Guide limitations
- The README says projects gaining more traction and social media recognition will be audited for free within the month; others may be left for the next month or processed on a paid basis. This is not a guarantee of a free audit.
