when is the “right time” to think about smart contract security?
I see two camps in Web3:
Camp A:
“Security comes later. We’ll fix things during the audit.”
Camp B:
“We need to understand risks before locking logic on-chain.”
In practice, most audit time (and cost) goes into catching basic issues:
• Access control mistakes
• Risky call order
• Overpowered admin roles
• Unclear upgrade paths
These aren’t advanced exploits — they’re early design problems.
That’s why I’m experimenting with an AI-powered smart contract pre-audit:
→ Quick risk detection
→ Plain-English explanations
→ Helps teams fix obvious issues before audits
Curious how others approach this:
❓ Do you run any security checks before booking an audit — or do you rely fully on auditors?
Drop your thoughts. I’m actively building based on real feedback.
