Third-Party Security Audit Scope

The audit scope defines the boundaries and limitations of what an external security firm examines during an assessment. It specifies which smart contracts are included, which functions are prioritized, and which types of attacks are within the purview of the review.

Understanding the scope is vital because an audit might cover the core token contract but ignore the peripheral governance or bridge modules. A narrow scope may leave significant attack surfaces unexamined, leading to a false sense of security.

It dictates the depth of the investigation and provides context for what the audit results actually represent in terms of comprehensive system safety.
