HashEx launches ForkChecker for developers and crypto enthusiasts
DeFi security company HashEx announces the launch of Forkchecker – a free tool designed to help developers and crypto enthusiasts quickly identify and analyze forks in BSC and Ethereum blockchains.
ForkChecker’s main goal is to analyze project forks. The company describes it as an ideal tool for various occasions, and mentions two in particular.
- While evaluating a forked code, users can see the changes made to the original code.
- As you review and compare all dependencies, ForkChecker automates the process.
The tool automatically checks whether a backdoor has been added to the code.
Fork Checker takes the code provided in a .sol file or via the address and compares it to the database that includes OpenZeppelin and others. The function shows the differences between the codes.
Considering that developers do not always launch their projects on all networks, enthusiasts often try to either add a valuable project to a particular chain or add changes to the source code and make the project more niche. Distribution of a project is common practice in the industry. ForkChecker compares a project with a base of 30+ existing contracts.
Crypto enthusiasts can also benefit from ForkChecker. When working with a fork, it is crucial to remember that the bugs and vulnerabilities from the original project can be carried over to the fork. So before investing in a project, one can easily check if it has been forked and if the source project had any problems or not.
“We are excited to offer ForkChecker as a free resource to the blockchain community,” says Dmitry Mishunin, CEO of HashEx. “Our goal is to provide developers and enthusiasts with an easy-to-use tool that will help them navigate the complex world of blockchain technology. ForkChecker is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long line of innovative security products and services.”
