Audit Provenance Engine

Anchor the audit.
Bind it to the code.

Anchor each audit certificate against the specific contract code hash on a shared network, so a report cannot be separated from the code it covers. Provenance Notary and the DID and VC Ledger bind the certificate, and the Subgraph Indexer exposes it for anyone to check before trusting the contract with funds.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a static PDF audit report into a live, checkable proof that deployed code matches the version that was audited.

01.

Code Hash Binding

Tie the certificate to the exact bytecode. Provenance Notary anchors the audit against the specific contract code hash, so a report can never be reused to vouch for a different or modified deployment.

02.

Issuer Attestation

Prove who signed off. The DID and VC Ledger binds the certificate to the auditor's verifiable identity, so a reader confirms both the finding and the credentialed firm behind it.

03.

Deployment Match Check

Verify before you trust. Anyone can compare the running contract's code hash against the anchored certificate, confirming the deployed version is the audited version before committing funds.

04.

Post-Audit Drift Detection

Surface silent changes. When a contract is upgraded or redeployed with different code, its hash no longer matches the certificate, and the mismatch is immediately visible to every checker.

05.

Indexed Discovery

Make certificates findable. The Subgraph Indexer exposes every anchored audit by contract address and hash, so wallets and explorers can surface certification status inline.

06.

Immutable Certificate Record

Keep the proof permanent. Each certificate and its code-hash binding live on the shared network, so a valid audit cannot be quietly revoked or backdated by any single party.

The Certification Lifecycle

Follow a single audit from certificate issuance to a user's pre-transaction check that the deployed code still matches.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes audit certification into modular contracts. Each layer hashes the code, anchors the certificate, indexes it for discovery, and verifies a deployment match without any single party able to forge or revoke the proof.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Code-hash-bound audit certification is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors put verifiable audit proofs to work.

Security Audit Firms

Issue certificates bound to the exact audited bytecode instead of a detachable PDF, so a firm's sign-off cannot be reused for modified code and its reputation rests on verifiable matches.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are anchoring certificates from an audit firm's tooling or checking a deployment from a user's wallet, Cerulea routes both into one code-hash-bound certification layer.

Track A: Audit Firm Anchoring

For firms on existing reporting tools. Completed audits are hashed against the contract bytecode and translated into anchored on-chain certificates through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: User Deployment Verification

For end users and wallets. A client recomputes a contract's live code hash and checks it against the anchored certificate directly through the indexed public layer.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects protocol tooling development benchmarks. Writing code-hash attestation logic, integrating DID issuer credentials, and building a subgraph indexer for an average registry takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your attestation and indexing rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the notary and indexer layer instantly.
