"Rock solid security has always been a priority for MakerDAO. Over time, it's become one of the defining features of the project. It only makes sense that the team would work with the market leader, Sherlock."
"Optimism's codebase was audited by the best in the industry before coming to Sherlock, and the Sherlock audit contest still surfaced unique issues that we were grateful to learn about before deploying."
"Having used both audit firms and other contest audit platforms, we have found the auditors in Sherlock's contests to be exceptional - finding numerous complex and subtle bugs that had otherwise gone unnoticed."
