How Does a Smart Contract Audit Contribute to Mitigating Rug Pull Risk?
A smart contract audit is a professional review of the project's underlying code by a third-party security firm. The auditors look for vulnerabilities, backdoors, and functions that could allow developers to drain funds or mint unlimited tokens.
A clean audit report, especially one verifying that the code does not contain a "withdrawal function" controlled by the developers, significantly increases investor confidence and reduces the technical risk of a rug pull.
