Smart Contract Audit Before a Token Listing: Founder Checklist

What founders should prepare for a smart-contract audit before a token listing, liquidity launch or exchange integration.

Freeze a reviewable release candidate

Provide a tagged commit, compiler settings, deployment scripts and dependency lockfiles. Material code changes after review require focused re-verification.

Document privileges and trust assumptions

List owners, multisigs, upgrade paths, pausers, fee setters, mint authority, oracle dependencies and emergency procedures. Auditors cannot validate assumptions that remain implicit.

Test launch-specific failure modes

Cover initial liquidity, transfer restrictions, fee behavior, decimals, permit or signature flows, vesting, claim logic and interactions with routers or bridges. Simulate privileged-key compromise and unsafe configuration.

Plan remediation time

A report is not the end of the process. Reserve time for fixes, regression tests, re-review and transparent communication of accepted risks before listing.

Schedule the review

TierZero offers smart-contract audits and code review. Send the repository, chain, target date and scope through contact.
