According to Paradex Network (@tradeparadex), the protocol has completed its first smart contract audit by CairoAudit, covering the core Paraclear protocol as well as Vault, Factory, Registry, and Oracle contracts. This audit secures approximately 80–85% of Paradex’s Chain codebase, significantly increasing trust and reducing smart contract risk for traders and investors. Verified audits like this are a key factor for institutional and retail adoption in DeFi trading, directly impacting liquidity and market participation, as confirmed by the official Paradex Network Twitter announcement on May 14, 2025.
