Auditing smart contracts is a vital part of building up security in DeFi. For all we know now about why we need to do it, we know very little about the process itself and what is it that auditors actually do. To figure this out, we went to the source and interviewed the CTO of a DSA member HashEx – Gleb Zykov.
