The Hashlock Security Rating System
Our Blockchain audits are based on our consistent rating system, in which code is qualified based on its quality, vulnerability, future risk, and complexity. We advise that projects with a rating less than secure should not be deployed, and the Hashlocked rating is reserved for projects that value and invest in ongoing security efforts after the audit to protect their stakeholders.

As the world of blockchain technology continues to grow exponentially, security is paramount.
Rust has emerged as a powerful and secure programming language for developing robust and reliable smart contracts. However, even with Rust’s inherent safety features, comprehensive auditing remains crucial to identify and mitigate any and all potential vulnerabilities.
Hashlock is a leading Rust smart contract audit company, offering expert analysis and meticulous testing to ensure that your blockchain deployments are secure and trustworthy.
Here’s what we do…
Why Choose
Rust for Smart Contracts?
Rust is gaining significant traction in the blockchain space due to its unique combination of safety, performance, and security features.
Unlike some other languages, Rust’s design prevents common memory-related errors that can lead to vulnerabilities. This emphasis on memory safety, coupled with high performance and concurrency support, is what makes Rust an ideal choice for building complex and secure decentralized applications.
However, it’s important to remember that no programming language is entirely foolproof. Even with Rust’s evident strengths, thorough auditing is essential if you wish to identify potential weaknesses and ensure that your smart contracts function as intended…
Key Benefits of Rust in Blockchain Development
- Memory Safety: Rust’s ownership and borrowing system eliminates common memory errors like null pointer dereferences and buffer overflows, which are often exploited to compromise smart contracts.
- Concurrency Support: Rust’s built-in concurrency features enable efficient and safe parallel execution, which are crucial for handling the demands of decentralized applications.
- Minimal Runtime: Rust’s minimal runtime overhead contributes to efficient execution and reduces the attack surface for potential exploits.
- Predictable Performance: Rust’s strict compile-time checks and lack of garbage collection result in predictable performance, which is essential for resource-constrained blockchain environments.
What is a
Rust Smart Contract Audit?
A Rust smart contract audit is a comprehensive examination of your codebase intended to identify potential security vulnerabilities, logical errors, and performance bottlenecks.
Hashlock’s approach to Rust smart contract audits involves adopting a multi-layered process, combining automated analysis with manual review, carried out by highly experienced Rust auditors who are well-versed in the language.
Our audits go beyond simply identifying issues, however. We provide actionable recommendations and guidance to help you remediate vulnerabilities and strengthen your smart contract’s security posture.
Types of Vulnerabilities Common in Rust Contracts
While Rust mitigates many common security risks, there are certain vulnerabilities that can still arise in smart contracts:
- Reentrancy: This vulnerability allows attackers to repeatedly call a function within a contract before the first call completes, potentially draining funds.
- Integer Overflow/Underflow: These errors occur when arithmetic operations exceed the maximum or minimum values of integer types, often leading to unexpected behaviour.
- Race Conditions: Race conditions can arise when multiple operations access and modify shared data concurrently, potentially causing unintended consequences.
Rest assured, Hashlock’s auditors are adept at identifying these – and other potential vulnerabilities, employing rigorous testing and analysis to ensure your contracts are resilient to attacks.
Our Rust Smart Contract Audit Process
Hashlock follows a systematic and comprehensive audit process to ensure both thorough and accurate results…
Initial Assessment and Scope Definition
We begin by understanding your project’s specific requirements, analysing the contract’s functionality, intended use case, and potential risk areas. This allows us to define the scope of the audit and tailor our approach accordingly.
Automated Testing and Static Analysis
We leverage automated testing tools and static analysis techniques to efficiently identify common vulnerabilities and code weaknesses. This helps us quickly pinpoint areas that require further investigation.
Manual Code Review by Rust Experts
Our experienced Rust auditors conduct a painstaking manual review of your codebase, focusing on areas where automated tools might miss critical issues.
Their deep understanding of Rust’s intricacies empowers them to identify subtle vulnerabilities and assess the overall security architecture of your contract.
Reporting and Recommendations
Upon completion of the audit, we will provide you with a detailed report outlining all identified issues, their severity levels, and actionable recommendations for remediation.
Our reports are clear, concise, and designed to help you understand and address potential risks as effectively as possible.
Post-Audit Support
Our commitment to your security extends beyond the audit itself. Rest assured, we offer post-audit support to guide you through code fixes, re-audits, and implementation of recommended security measures.
