Audit
A formal review of smart-contract source code by specialised firms (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, Certora, Spearbit, Code4rena) looking for vulnerabilities before deployment. Audits are time-bounded reviews of a specific commit — post-audit changes are unreviewed. Multi-auditor coverage is the stronger signal; single audits from unknown firms are the weaker.
