TL;DR:
In preparation for the IOTA EVM release, security auditing firm Zokyo finalized the IOTA Smart Contracts (ISC) code audits. The code scored a perfect 100 points across Security, Business Logic, and Technical Risks.
Security is a pivotal aspect of every crypto protocol. To ensure that the IOTA Smart Contracts are secure, IOTA EVM underwent an audit in March 2024 by Zokyo, a security auditing firm and venture studio that builds, funds, and secures crypto, DeFi, and NFT companies. Besides looking for possible security issues in the smart contracts, Zokyo also evaluated business logic and technical risks associated with the contracts. Weâre pleased to report that IOTA EVM scored a perfect 100 points in the audit. You can find a detailed overview of the audit here.
Zokyo checked that the IOTA Smart Contracts Protocol Contracts follow best practices in code readability, are not affected by recent vulnerabilities, and use methods that are safe from reentrance attacks. Furthermore, Zokyo assessed if the contracts implement and adhere to existing standards appropriately and effectively and if best practices are being followed, to avoid unnecessary waste.
The security audit marks one of the final and most important steps in preparation for the launch of IOTA EVM.

- Medium: The issue affects the ability of the contract in a way that doesnât significantly hinder its behavior.
