Some well-known examples of the use of smart contract audits include:
-
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms: Many DeFi platforms, such as MakerDAO and Compound, use smart contracts to manage the lending and borrowing of assets on the blockchain. These contracts are audited to ensure that they function correctly and securely.
-
Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs): Many ICOs use smart contracts to manage the distribution and tracking of tokens. These contracts are audited to ensure that they are free from vulnerabilities and that they function as intended.
-
Supply Chain Management: Companies like Walmart, Nestle and IBM, use smart contracts to manage the supply chain process which includes tracking the origin, movement and quality of goods across the supply chain network.
-
Gaming: Some gaming platforms use smart contracts to manage the distribution of in-game assets and rewards. These contracts are audited to ensure that they are fair and that players can trust the platform.
-
Real-estate: Companies like Ubitquity and Propy are using smart contracts to manage the buying, selling and renting of properties on the blockchain. These contracts are audited to ensure that they function correctly and securely.
These are just a few examples, but smart contracts are being used in a wide variety of industries and applications, and the use of smart contract audits is becoming increasingly common as the technology becomes more widely adopted.
