Setting Up Audit Wizard
Audit Wizard is a comprehensive tool designed to assist smart contract auditors. To begin using Audit Wizard, you need to create a free account. The platform offers various sign-up options, including Google, Ethereum address, and GitHub. Once registered, you can log in and start importing projects.
Key Features of Audit Wizard
Audit Wizard integrates multiple tools and features within a web application to facilitate smart contract auditing. These include an integrated development environment (IDE), a scanner with AI capabilities, test writing tools, graphs, and much more.
AI Assistant
The AI assistant in Audit Wizard is a significant feature that helps auditors quickly understand the code. You can ask the AI assistant various questions, such as requesting a summary of the code, identifying security concerns, and understanding how the contract handles user funds.
Using Scanners for Vulnerability Detection
Audit Wizard includes three built-in static analyzers: Slither, 4naly3er, and aderyn. These scanners run simultaneously on the smart contract to identify potential vulnerabilities. The results can provide you with a comprehensive overview of issues that need attention, including high-severity vulnerabilities.

Advanced Features for In-Depth Analysis
Audit Wizard also offers several advanced features that enhance the auditing process, which you are welcome to explore more in-depth here.
Graphs
The graph feature provides a visual representation of the functions and their interactions within the smart contract. This high-level overview helps auditors understand the structure and flow of the contract.
Inspection and Simulation
The inspection feature allows auditors to explore storage slots and see the storage layout implemented on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The simulation feature enables you to simulate contract interactions, which is useful for testing and understanding contract behavior.
Case Study: Finding a High-Severity Vulnerability
In a recent audit contest, Audit Wizard’s AI assistant identified a legit high-severity vulnerability. The AI assistant analyzed the smart contract and highlighted a potential issue with the transfer restrictions of game items.
To see the process in action and also how we verified the vulnerability, go ahead and watch the full video.
Conclusion
Audit Wizard isn’t just a tool — it’s a game-changer for smart contract auditors. By providing a platform packed with powerful features, the auditing process is transformed, making it more efficient and effective. Audit Wizard is an invaluable companion for anyone involved in smart contract auditing.
