Auditoria de projetos da Rede Blockchain: uma análise dos relatórios de auditoria de protocolos DEFI validados pela Certik

Abstract

This work proposes to analyze the audit reports of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols that are present in the blockchain network and that were audited by Certik, one of the largest auditing companies in the sector. All transactions using the blockchain system are recorded in it and cannot be changed later. However, insecurity about using this network is often related to the anonymity it provides. Thus, auditing projects that run on a blockchain is a way to give greater credibility and security to users of this technology. From this perspective, a descriptive, explanatory and documentary research was developed, with a qualitative approach, to evaluate the errors found during the audit of these projects and to expose some cases in which exploits occurred even after a previous audit. It is possible to conclude, therefore, that the audit of projects in this sector, as well as in others, can give these protocols greater credibility and security in the eyes of the user, however, it can still go a long way towards improving its assertiveness and, thus, reduce the number of exploits that occur in this universe and the impact they represent.
