I am developing a Finance platform on Canton Network. I have a question about the Daml workflow auditability. Before going live does Daml smart contracts need to be audited like solidity? I’m wondering: in practice, do institutional node operators typically require a third-party audit report befo…

This likely depends on the receiving organization and their process around AppSec verification. In general, Daml is a smart contract language and can/should be audited. There are many security audits firms who now have Daml experience, including Quantstamp, Certik, Halborn and others. There are ong…

Thank you so much for the detailed reply — this is very helpful. It’s reassuring to see how Canton’s privacy model, package vetting, and Daml’s design (avoiding many common Solidity/EVM issues) change the overall security and audit considerations compared to public chains. I agree that, regardless …

I think the most likely answer is that this is still a work in progress and the expectations will differ across the wallet providers. There are ongoing discussions around supply chain risks for smart contracts.

Thanks Edward for the insights, really appreciate the clarification.

Hey NYCNewman, Would you know if the DAML Utility or CIP-56 Standard have been audited at all?

Splice Amulet was audited by Quantstamp last year and we are scheduling the next audit for May 2026 to include the new Token Standard V2. [image] Quantstamp Verified Security Certificate This official audit report contains Quantstamp findings and client fixes. …

There is mainly application-side auditing needed. I don’t think Canton requires EVM-style SC auditing.

Why do you think that? Daml is a smart contract laguage and the Daml model defines the state transitions for contracts on ledger. A mistake in the logic could potentially allow unauthorized actions. Daml is not vulnerable to many of the issues for Solidity (reentrancy, integer overflows, etc) but t…

I would be happy if You ans this ! [image] Security Auditing on Canton Outreach One of the security auditors asked me about the scope of auditing within the Canton Network. Could you guys provide more information about the auditing process? Is auditing pe…
