Before parting with your hard earned money in exchange for some tokens, it is important to research which steps the team are taking to make it a safer investment. There are many scams and vulnerabilities with crypto smart contracts, for example exit scam or rug pull, where a team or rogue individual is able to remove funds via some method, leaving users with worthless tokens when news of the scam travels and people sell their tokens. To mitigate this, project owners can use the services of various security groups which will conduct an audit of the smart contract and / or team. Here we will talk about some of them so you can check if the token you wish to purchase has received a successful audit of the smart contract by one of them.
The following are some of the audit groups we have come across (in no particular order), but please do let us know if there are others we should mention. The information may be useful to those who wish to launch their own token and need a security audit. This information is provided as is. Please DYOR!
