The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) and AI-powered blockchain tools has made security more important than ever. OpenPad, a decentralized AI-driven launchpad and investment platform, recently underwent a comprehensive smart contract audit conducted by FailSafe.
Given that OpenPad manages token launches, capital allocation, and portfolio tracking across Web3, vulnerabilities in its smart contracts could pose significant financial and reputational risks. This report provides a detailed look at the audit findings, methodology, and remediation guidance to ensure OpenPad’s contracts are secure and optimized.
What is OpenPad?
OpenPad is an AI-powered decentralized launchpad designed to streamline fundraising and investment processes for Web3 projects.
Some of its key features include:
- AI-driven project screening to filter high-potential blockchain startups.
- Intelligent matchmaking between investors and projects.
- Cross-chain privacy-led fundraising capabilities.
- Account abstraction for seamless onboarding of both Web2 and Web3 users.
- Portfolio management tools enhanced with AI analytics.
With such critical responsibilities, a rigorous audit of its BEP20 smart contract was essential to validate security, functionality, and maintainability .
Project Details
- Auditor: FailSafe
- Project Name: OpenPad
- Audit Date: 11th – 12th August 2025
- Source Code: OpenPad GitHub Repository
- In-scope File: contracts/OPAD.sol
OpenPad Audit Goals
The audit was structured around seven main objectives:
- Security Assurance – ensuring no critical vulnerabilities.
- Functional Correctness – validating that the contracts behave as intended.
- Gas Optimization – identifying costly operations for efficiency.
- Access Control & Privileges – preventing unauthorized use.
- Upgradability & Maintainability – future-proofing with modular architecture.
- Compliance & Documentation – ensuring clear developer guidelines.
- Reporting & Remediation Guidance – providing actionable fixes .
Summary of Findings
The audit revealed one issue in the OpenPad smart contract:
| Severity | Total | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | 0 | – |
| High | 0 | – |
| Medium | 0 | – |
| Low | 1 | Acknowledged |
| Info | 0 | – |
Finding 1: Floating Pragma Version in Solidity Contract
- Severity: Low
- Status: Open
- Source: opad.sol (pragma solidity ^0.8.27;)
Description:
The contract used a floating pragma version (^0.8.27), meaning it can compile with any Solidity version >=0.8.27 and <0.9.0. While not a direct security vulnerability, this is considered bad practice as it may cause compilation differences or unexpected behaviors with future compiler versions .
Impact:
- Reduced reproducibility during deployments.
- Increased risk of subtle bugs with future Solidity updates.
- Potential failures in certain environments.
Remediation Suggested by FailSafe:
Pin the compiler version explicitly to ensure stability, e.g.,
pragma solidity 0.8.27;
FailSafe’s Conclusion
Overall, OpenPad’s BEP20 smart contract demonstrated strong security and adherence to best practices, with only a minor issue flagged. The proactive response of the OpenPad team to security feedback shows a disciplined commitment to ensuring safe and reliable operations .
As OpenPad scales its ecosystem of AI-powered fundraising tools, continuing periodic audits and real-time monitoring will be essential to maintain security across its contract
