VMEX Announces Security Audit with yAudit

Published On:

Introduction

yAudit was recently asked by VMEX to assess the protocol’s smart contracts. The contracts of the VMEX Repo were reviewed by 3 auditors over 5 weeks. As an added layer of security, Fellows from yAudit Block 5 additionally joined the review.

The team at yAudit found an overall satisfactory result which has now been made publicly available here.

The yAudit team ranked their risk assessment methodology by measuring the likelihood of a security incident and the impact of such an incident.

Findings are broken down into sections by their respective impact:

  • Critical, High, Medium, and Low impact - These are findings that range from attacks that may cause loss of funds, impact control/ownership of the contracts, or cause any unintended consequences/actions that are outside the scope of the requirements
  • Gas savings - Findings that can improve the gas efficiency of the contracts
  • Informational - Findings including recommendations and best practices

Audit Results

32 contracts were inspected and analyzed by yAudit engineers, who found the following:

  • Two Critical
  • Seven High Findings
  • Six Medium Findings
  • 12 Low Findings
  • Seven Gas Savings Findings
  • 24 Informational Findings

Closing Thoughts

This is an important step for VMEX as we push forward to our launch. Security of the protocol will be a continuous effort, furthered by additional smart contract audits — such as our current audit competition on Hats Finance. Details of the Hats competition will be announced in the near future.

Stay tuned on Twitter and join Discord if you have any comments or questions for the team.

Special thanks to Pandadefi, Sjkelleyjr, and Blockdev for their dedication and hard work.
