How much does a smart contract audit run these days? Back in 2019 I remember them being insanely expensive.

Ideally, I want machines to do it as part of a subscription service that costs $99/month or something. But short of that less than $5k.

How much do you *want* it to cost, Justin?

25-80k for a modest audit depending on quality, size of contacts, etc.

60-100k is what I've been seeing audit contests go for.

Big opportunities are often the big signs that everyone can see.

Are they expensive because of the liability insurance in case a vulnerability goes undetected and gets exploited later?
