# Proof of Audits

> Proof of Audits turns smart contract audit contest findings, verified fixes, reviewed code, deployed-code matches, and authority evidence into Living Trust Passports. It shows proof and open gaps, not safety guarantees.

Proof of Audits is a Web3 smart contract audit contest and security evidence
platform. Contests discover vulnerabilities; Proof of Audits preserves the
accepted findings, verified fixes, reviewed scope, deployed-code match,
authority controls, and open gaps as a Living Trust Passport. It does not
certify safety or guarantee outcomes.

## Key concepts

- **Trust Passport**: a live proof page for a protocol — reviewed scope, deployed-code match, authority evidence, and open gaps in one record.
- **Deployment Match**: verification that live on-chain bytecode matches the audited commit; drift is flagged, not hidden.
- **VTI score**: an evidence-backed trust index; every point is traceable to proof, never self-reported marketing alone.
- **Function Review Lens**: maps a wallet action (deposit, withdraw, borrow, stake, claim, bridge) to the exact reviewed function, auditor tier, confidence, and residual risk.
- **External Deployed ITS**: scoring path (/900) for protocols already live before Proof of Audits reviews them.
