Reports

Published research and independent technical reviews.

  1. Security audit

    Urbit Constitution Security Audit

    Bloctrax reviewed the Solidity smart contracts behind the Urbit Constitution, evaluating their design, implementation, test coverage, and security through manual review and automated analysis with Mythril and Oyente. The audit found no high-severity issues and documented a small number of medium-severity findings, primarily in higher-level contracts, alongside remediation guidance and code-quality recommendations.
