ERC-7512 is a proposed Ethereum standard, introduced in 2023 by contributors from security-audit firms and wallet developers, that defines a common format for representing smart-contract audits on-chain. Under the proposal, an auditor publishes a signed record stating which contract, identified by chain and contract address, was reviewed, which standards it implements and where the full report can be found. Because the record is signed by the auditor's key, wallets, block explorers and other smart contracts can check automatically whether code a user is about to interact with has been audited, and by whom, instead of relying on a project's own claims. An on-chain audit record does not guarantee that a contract is safe: audits can miss bugs, and the standard only shows that a review took place. Also see the Ethereum Improvement Proposal process.
