In this upcoming MasterClass, iComply hosts Hosho’s CTO Alex Blair as he joins iComply’s CTO Matt Masiar, to speak on the importance of smart contract auditing, especially for financial applications of smart contracts.
In 2017, a total of $400 million that was raised through initial coin offerings (ICOs) was lost or stolen. This year $23 million was lost to crypto scams every day, with 10% of all funds invested into ICOs also having been reported lost or stolen. The status quo of token fundraising is not sustainable, nor ready for institutional finance.
A single vulnerability once exploited can destroy an entire project. Code, if not audited may not function as intended but will work fine for a short period of time. Companies soft-launching on a blockchain network have a lot to lose from code vulnerabilities and it could end up being a costly decision to not have an audit prior to launch.
