Smart contract audits are thorough reviews conducted by security professionals to identify vulnerabilities, bugs, and security flaws in the code of a smart contract before it is deployed on the blockchain. Given the immutable nature of blockchain technology, once a smart contract is deployed, its code cannot be altered, making pre-deployment audits critical to ensuring the contract operates as intended and is secure from potential attacks or exploits.

These audits can involve automated testing tools as well as manual review by experts to scrutinize the contract's logic, adherence to best practices, and potential attack vectors such as reentrancy, overflow/underflow, and gas limit issues. The goal is to ensure the smart contract is robust, secure, and efficient, minimizing the risk of financial loss and enhancing trust in the project. As the DeFi ecosystem and other blockchain applications grow, smart contract audits have become an essential part of the development process, reflecting a commitment to security and reliability in the increasingly complex landscape of blockchain technology.
