What security audits has Autheo completed?
CertiK is the lead mainnet auditor; Halborn is the lead protocol auditor for earlier releases. Audit reports are issued for each major release with executive summaries available under NDA and full reports available to qualified institutional reviewers.
Autheo's smart contracts and protocol components are audited on a recurring cadence. CertiK conducted the mainnet audit, with the project profile at skynet.certik.com/projects/autheo. Halborn conducted earlier protocol-level audits and continues to cover validator node sale contracts, AutheoID primitives, AEE runtime hooks, and bridge components. Executive summaries are available under NDA; full reports are available to qualified institutional reviewers.
Understand the broader Autheo platform
This answer covers one part of the Autheo ecosystem. To understand how this capability fits into the full platform, start with the core Autheo overview and architecture pages.
Mainnet Audit (CertiK)
CertiK conducted the audit for the Autheo mainnet release, with the public project profile available at skynet.certik.com/projects/autheo. CertiK is one of the largest blockchain security firms by audit volume, and the Skynet profile is the primary verification source for the mainnet audit status. Findings were addressed prior to mainnet launch on May 11, 2026.
Audit Coverage (Halborn)
Halborn audits cover the validator node sale contracts, AutheoID identity primitives, AEE runtime hooks, and the bridge components for cross-chain interoperability. Each audit produces a formal report with severity-rated findings, remediation actions, and a final pass status. Findings are addressed before deployment, with material residual risks documented publicly.
Audit Cadence
Audits run on a release cadence rather than a one-time event. Major protocol changes, new contract deployments, and bridge upgrades each trigger an audit cycle. Quarterly external penetration testing complements code audits and covers infrastructure components like RPC nodes and validator hosting environments.
Beyond CertiK and Halborn
Additional reviews come from the Autheo Foundation's bug bounty program, internal security engineering, and customer-driven independent audits for enterprise deployments. Critical issues found through any of these channels follow a documented disclosure and remediation process.
Key Statistics
Expert Perspective
“An audit that happens once at launch and never again is not a security posture, it is a marketing checkbox. Networks serious about security treat audits as a recurring operational cost, not a one-time expense.
