A systematic examination and verification of transactions, smart contract code, and operational data directly recorded and visible on a blockchain ledger. Unlike traditional audits, an on-chain audit leverages the transparency and immutability of distributed ledgers to provide verifiable assurances of financial activity or protocol behavior. This process helps confirm compliance, detect anomalies, and validate the integrity of decentralized applications. It offers a high degree of transparency for all network participants.
