Audit-to-deploy gap

A code & audits factor in the v1.7.0 rubric. Measured per protocol on a s cadence.

Methodology how we score#

What this measures
This factor records the number of days between the audit report's sign-off date and the mainnet deployment of the audited bytecode. A gap greater than 60 days is flagged as a drift risk, because teams frequently make undisclosed changes to code between audit completion and deployment, rendering the audit partially or fully stale before the contract is even live. The data source is audit PDF metadata cross-referenced with on-chain deploy timestamps.

Why it matters
The audit-to-deploy gap creates an unmonitored window during which code can be silently modified. Euler Finance ($197M, 2023) introduced the donateToReserves function -- the exploited function -- between the audit completion and the actual deployment of the upgraded contract. Nomad Bridge ($190M, 2022) upgraded its Replica contract in June 2022 after earlier audits; the specific initialisation parameter vulnerability was in the post-audit change. The synthesis finding is direct: when a team has months between audit sign-off and deployment, it is common practice to 'polish' the code, and those polishing changes are the surface where bugs most frequently live.

Green / Yellow / Red
Green: deployed bytecode was pushed to mainnet within 30 days of audit sign-off, with no substantive code changes between the audited commit and the deployed binary. Yellow: the audit-to-deploy gap is 30 to 60 days, with minor, documented changes reviewed by a curator or in a follow-up audit note. Red: the audit-to-deploy gap exceeds 60 days, or the deployed bytecode differs from the audited commit by more than trivial configuration changes with no explanation on record.

Common gray cases
Curators cannot grade this factor when the audit report does not carry a clear sign-off date, or when the protocol deploys to multiple chains with varying timelines and the per-chain gap cannot be reliably calculated.

Notable historical examples
- Euler Finance ($197M, 2023): The donateToReserves function was introduced in a post-audit upgrade, not in the original audited code.
- Nomad Bridge ($190M, 2022): Post-audit upgrade to Replica contract in June 2022 introduced the exploited initialisation bug.
- Compound Finance ($147M, 2021): Proposal 62 Comptroller upgrade was deployed after the prior audit window closed.
- Fei/Rari Fuse ($80M, 2022): The March 2022 partial patch modified code after audit, leaving exitMarket() uncovered.
- Munchables ($62.5M, 2024): Blast L2 deployment used an unverified implementation contract upgraded post-audit.

Measurement what to look for#

Measure the number of days between the audit report sign-off date and the mainnet deploy of the audited bytecode.

Data & output #

Data source

Audit PDF sign-off date + Etherscan first-deploy transaction timestamp for the audited contract

Output format

Green / Yellow / Red

Evidence artifact

Sign-off date + deploy tx hash + days-delta integer

Confidence signal

green = ≤60 days; yellow = 61–180 days; red = >180 days (code may have drifted between audit and deploy); gray = either date not determinable
