Nervos Smart Contract Audit

Now, after reaching many of our key milestones, we’re pleased to announce that Nervos will be audited by Trail of Bits.

While the Nervos team will continue to focus on CKB protocol and on-chain development in 2020, the team is also prioritizing the developer experience and building out Layer 2 — and smart contracts play a big role in both of those areas.

A smart contract is a computer protocol that permits a trusted transaction to take place among separate entities without the need for a third party. Layer 2 of the Nervos blockchain is designed to facilitate smart contracts, which play a vital role in maintaining trust and transparency in a decentralized environment. Right now, the Nervos team is working on Mandrake, a smart contract interface for drag-and-drop smart contract creation, as well as providing more programming language options for building smart contracts.

While smart contracts are necessary to Nervos’ burgeoning ecosystem, they do present risks — and the DeFi space is particularly susceptible. As Nervos architect and researcher Jan Xie points out,“The risk of crypto-assets consists of external risks such as regulation changes, and internal risks such as design flaws and implementation bugs.”

At Nervos, we realize it’s not enough to consider reactive defenses when it comes to smart contracts; we have to stay proactive. That’s why we’re enlisting the help of Trail of Bits to audit our smart contract solutions.

Over the next few weeks, security engineers from Trail of Bits will provide an extensive review of Nervos smart contract, which will entail:

Other ad-hoc services will include security reviews of grant projects and other critical Nervos projects, guidance on development practices, and writing detailed test cases for areas of the codebase the Nervos team should continue to explore.

We are excited to provide our community with continued transparency regarding the security and safety of our infrastructure and the Nervos blockchain ecosystem.
