Astra Breaks a Leg
According to the Hacken report, Astra has secured the total code quality score along with the security score of 10 out of 10. Meanwhile, the customer’s smart contract, which is an essential form of security testing for Web 3.0 projects, has hit a score of 9.8. However, the audit has also reported some vulnerabilities such as Token vesting, lock-up, rewards and burn are not implemented in this contract. The risks include various limitations like environment consistency, secure oracle usages, gas limit and loops and token supply manipulation among others.
Launched in 2013, Astra has received a lot of attention. It offers an on-chain dispute resolution system by adding a legal assurance layer to block-chain-based smart contracts. This means the protocol simplifies the process for any other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to meet know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations without changing their underlying business models through its plug-and-play software.
The primary objective of Astra is to bridge the gap between the crypto industry and the traditional financial sector by adding an on-chain layer of assurance and safety enabling smart contracts to automate business logic in a decentralized manner.
