In the rapidly evolving crypto space, trust and security are paramount. Smart contracts—the building blocks of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and many other Web3 innovations—are powerful yet vulnerable. Even a single vulnerability in a smart contract can lead to catastrophic losses, eroding user confidence in blockchain technology.
As the number and complexity of smart contracts increases, traditional manual audits struggle to keep pace. This is one of the reasons AuditOne has been working on an AI audit model for more than a year. Not with the intention to replace human auditors, but to enhance their capabilities and to provide an initial assessment right after deployments. We are now satisfied with the results and are focused on launching it in the form of AI agents on-chain. At AuditOne, we are proud to be among the first to pioneer this. Our token $AUDIT will serve as currency for those agents and they will be deployed on the networks IOTA & BASE first.
Let’s dig deeper...
The Problem: A Security Gap in the Blockchain Ecosystem
The blockchain space has seen exponential growth, but this has come at a cost:
- Volume of Contracts: Millions of smart contracts are deployed across various chains, with new ones launched daily. Manual audits cannot scale to meet this demand.
- Human Error: Traditional audits rely heavily on human expertise, which is prone to oversight, especially with tight development cycles.
- Limited Accessibility: Manual audits are costly and time-intensive, often accessible only to large projects with significant budgets.
- Delayed Risk Mitigation: Vulnerabilities often go undetected until they are exploited, leading to significant financial and reputational damage.
This gap between innovation and security demands a new approach—one that is automated, scalable, and rooted in cutting-edge technology.
The Solution: On-Chain AI Audit Agents
AI audit agents deployed on-chain represent a paradigm shift in how blockchain ecosystems handle security. These agents operate autonomously on the blockchain, performing real-time audits of newly deployed smart contracts. How are these agents able to identify issues? We fine tuned a LLM using more than 6M parameters combined with a retrieval system from 20,000 vulnerabilities as base to create a model which identifies issues in smart contracts. For now we have been focusing on the programming language Solidity as a vast amount of reliable data was required that we retrieved from audit contest platforms and our own audits.
Here’s why this innovation is transformational:
1. Real-Time Security
On-chain AI agents audit smart contracts as they are deployed, identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. This proactive approach drastically reduces the risk of hacks or exploits.
2. Immutable and Transparent Audits
Audit results are stored immutably on the blockchain, creating a tamper-proof record that developers, investors, and users can trust. Transparency becomes a default feature, enhancing confidence across the ecosystem.
3. Scalability
Unlike manual audits, AI audit agents can handle thousands of contracts simultaneously, making security accessible to all projects, regardless of size or budget.
4. Decentralized and Trustless
Operating on-chain aligns with the ethos of decentralization. AI agents do not rely on centralized entities (in the beginning they will, but the ultimate vision is to fully decentralize it), removing the need for third-party trust and empowering users with verifiable results.
5. Continuous Monitoring
Beyond initial deployment, AI agents can monitor contracts for upgrades, interactions, and anomalies, ensuring ongoing security throughout the contract lifecycle.
6. $AUDIT Token as the Backbone
AuditOne's native token, $AUDIT, is the currency powering our AI agents. Here’s how it works:
- Payment for Services: Network participants (developers, investors or other agents) use $AUDIT to pay for on-chain audits conducted by our agents.
- Cross-Network Utility: $AUDIT is compatible across all networks where our agents operate, creating a unified ecosystem.
By integrating $AUDIT, AuditOne ensures a seamless and efficient way to access security services while empowering a decentralized community around our mission.
7. Cost Efficiency
By automating audits, on-chain AI agents significantly reduce the costs associated with manual reviews, democratizing access to security solutions.
Why On-Chain AI Audits Are the Future
The blockchain industry is entering a new era where security must scale with innovation. On-chain AI audit agents represent the future of smart contract security, addressing challenges that traditional methods cannot.
This is more than just an incremental improvement—it’s a transformational leap. By integrating AI, automation, and blockchain technology, these agents redefine what’s possible in decentralized security. With $AUDIT at the core, we create an ecosystem where innovation is secure, transparent, and community-driven.
At AuditOne, we are not just witnessing this transformation—we are driving it. With our smart contract audit model and the power of $AUDIT, we are laying the foundation for a more secure, trustworthy blockchain ecosystem.
