Today, I'd like to share insights from arecent audit I conducted for a stablecoin protocol, which is still underpartial development.

The protocol, which shall remain redacteduntil the final audit report is publicized, had already undergone what's knownas a "pre-audit." Despite this preliminary step, the subsequent auditrounds revealed a significant number of issues.

In the first audit round, I uncovered 27high-severity, 21 medium-severity, 48 low-severity, and 41 informationalissues.

Given the extensive number of findings, asecond audit round was necessitated. This round had to be conducted within a constrainedtimeframe of just 14 days. Despite the time limitation, which prevented fullcoverage, the second audit identified 16 high, 6 medium and 16 low issues.

One of the key takeaways from this audit isthe presence of both low-hanging fruit and more advanced exploits.

While many issues are low-hanging fruit,there are also quite a few sophisticated exploits in the report which willprovide some great alpha.

You can find the report here:

If you are a founder or developer of asimilar protocol, feel free to send me a DM for security services.
