Our Audit Process
Version 1.0 | Effective Date: November 29, 2025
Our comprehensive seven-step audit methodology ensures the highest standards of professionalism, consistency, and transparency from consultation to delivery. We combine advanced automated analysis tools with expert manual review to maximize the identification and elimination of potential security vulnerabilities and logic flaws.
Our Methodology
Aegis Labs' smart contract audit services aim to provide comprehensive security protection for Web3 projects through a systematic and rigorous seven-step process. Our workflow combines advanced automated analysis tools with experienced expert manual review to ensure maximum discovery and elimination of potential security vulnerabilities and logic defects.
Client Consultation & Project Preparation
Setting the foundation for a successful audit engagement
Consultation & Requirement Submission
Client / Platform
Client submits initial requirements through the platform form, including contract type, code volume (LOC), and project urgency.
Initial Communication & Assessment
Account Manager
Account Manager conducts an online meeting with the client to understand project architecture, business logic, and security concerns.
Scope Determination & Quotation
Account Manager / Technical Director
Based on Lines of Code (LOC), contract complexity, and audit depth, determine the final audit scope and timeline, and generate a formal quote.
Contract Signing & Payment
Account Manager / Legal
Both parties sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and service contract. Client makes advance payment (or full payment).
Code Repository & Locking
Technical Support / Client
Client submits the code to be audited to a secure private repository (e.g., private Git) and locks the Commit Hash, performing a "code freeze" to ensure audit consistency.
Audit Execution & Analysis
Comprehensive code review and security analysis
Audit Team Formation
Technical Director
Technical Director assigns 2-3 senior auditors with relevant experience (e.g., DeFi, NFT, Layer 2) to form the project team.
Automated Preliminary Analysis
Audit Team
Team uses internal tools (such as static analyzers) to perform an initial quick scan of the code, generating a preliminary "low-risk" issue list.
Manual Code Deep Review
Audit Team
Audit team reviews code line by line, focusing on high-risk areas including: business logic, economic model, external calls, and Gas optimization.
Dynamic Testing & Verification
Audit Team
Team deploys contracts on test networks (e.g., Goerli, Sepolia), uses fuzzing tools and writes additional unit tests to verify edge cases and attack vectors.
Reporting, Fixes & Verification
Vulnerability documentation and remediation validation
Vulnerability Classification & Draft Report
Audit Team
Audit team classifies all discovered issues (including automated and manual findings) by severity and compiles them into a preliminary audit report.
Results Presentation Meeting
Audit Team / Account Manager
Account Manager organizes a meeting where auditors explain each vulnerability's nature, potential impact, and remediation recommendations to the project team.
Client Fixes & Code Updates
Client
Client development team implements code fixes based on the report and submits a new Commit Hash.
Code Re-review & Verification (Re-audit)
Audit Team
Audit team performs differential review (Diff Review) on the fixed code, confirming all reported vulnerabilities have been properly resolved and no new issues were introduced (regression testing).
Final Delivery & Follow-up
Project completion and ongoing support
Final Report Release
Technical Director / Audit Team
Generate final audit report including status of all fixed and unfixed issues. Report is reviewed and signed by the Technical Director.
Certificate Issuance & Report Publication
Account Manager / Marketing
Issue audit pass certificate to client (if applicable) and publish public report on the platform per contract terms (typically a sanitized version).
Project Closure & Feedback
Account Manager
Confirm all services are completed, collect final payment (if applicable), and gather client feedback on the service.
Ongoing Support & Monitoring
Account Manager / Technical Support
Provide post-audit support (e.g., monitoring contract deployment after audit) and regularly send security trend briefings to clients, establishing long-term partnerships.
