πŸ›‘οΈ Slither Deep Audit Completed for Lattice L2 (Hybrid DAG + PQC + EVM)

I’ve completed a full Slither deep security audit of my Lattice Layer-2 smart contracts, a hybrid architecture combining DAG execution, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), and EVM compatibility.

This was not a cosmetic audit β€” it focused on real attack surfaces, logic safety, and long-term maintainability.

βœ… Final Security Status

High Severity: 0 issues

Medium Severity: 0 issues

Low Severity: Only minor documentation items remaining

All critical vulnerabilities have been resolved while preserving contract behavior and improving gas efficiency.

πŸ”§ Key Fixes Implemented
πŸ”΄ High Severity

Fixed dangerous strict equality patterns across contracts that could cause unexpected reverts or bypass logic.

🟑 Medium Severity

Added missing event emissions for transparency and off-chain indexing

Eliminated variable shadowing issues

Verified and hardened low-level call safety

🟒 Low Severity

Optimized costly loops

Reviewed and documented timestamp dependencies

βš™οΈ Performance & Architecture Improvements

O(1) sequencer removal instead of O(n) searches

Improved validation logic for safer state transitions

Clear, consistent event emissions for monitoring and analytics

Security improvements also resulted in better gas efficiency and cleaner contract structure.

πŸ“„ Audit Artifacts

SLITHER_AUDIT_SUMMARY.md β€” Initial findings

SECURITY_FIXES_COMPLETED.md β€” Detailed fixes and rationale

πŸš€ Conclusion

The Lattice L2 smart contracts are now production-ready, with a significantly stronger security posture and improved performance.

This audit reinforces the goal of Lattice:
secure, scalable infrastructure for next-generation blockchain systems, including DAG-based execution and post-quantum resilience β€” without sacrificing EVM compatibility.

More updates coming as the stack evolves.
