Security audits should include assessments of upgradeability mechanisms in smart contracts. While upgradeable contracts allow bug fixes and feature additions, they also introduce risks of malicious changes if control is centralized. Audit reports that cover proxy patterns, multi-signature wallets, and timelocks provide insight into how safely the project handles upgrades. Transparency about who controls these mechanisms and how changes are governed protects users from potential abuses. Combining open source code, audits, and robust upgrade controls forms a strong security posture.
