One of the biggest names in the smart contracts and blockchain audit sector, CertiK announced today, May 14 that it has successfully completed a formal security audit of Terra. Terra is famed for designing an algorithmic stablecoin that will power the next generation payment system on the blockchain.
The mainnet of Terra, which went live in April, is a Delegated Proof-of-stake (DPoS) system that uses the Cosmos SDK and the Tendermint Consensus Engine.
Effective Collaboration
Security experts, profound economists, security engineers and other professionals from CertiK were on hand to audit the Terra protocol and public blockchain. The rigorous scrutiny of Terra’s economic model by CertiK was done to test against potential market manipulations, an architectural review with special attention of Cosmos plug-ins was effectively protected against possible edge scenario attacks, not forgetting the manual review by experts on Go- the language in which Terra’s code was written in.
Terra’s bid to becoming the first widely accepted price stable cryptocurrency in the world will depend greatly on its security clearance. The company is launching a revolutionary blockchain based payment system that uses the stablecoin in H1 2019, and it has already partnered with e-commerce firms which will help support the new payment solution.
eCommerce giant like TMON from South Korea, Carousel from Singapore, Tiki from Vietnam and Baemin also from South Korea, is part of the companies that have successfully partnered with Terra. Collectively, 15 eCommerce companies that collectively process $25 billion annually through 45 million users are all in agreement with Terra.
Security of the System
Commenting on the high-level certification from CertiK, Co-Founder of Terra Do-Kwon stated that:
“We are pleased to receive a formal stamp of approval from CertiK, who is known within the industry for setting a very high bar for security and reliability. The thorough audit result shared by CertiK’s team of experienced economists and engineers give us more confidence in our protocol, and we are excited to quickly roll out our first payment dApp with eCommerce partners in the coming weeks.’’
