Simulate any Stacks tx against live mainnet state, free: 15 lines with stxer

Testing a Clarity contract against real pools, balances and oracle data normally means running a node or copying fixtures. stxer is a free hosted fork simulator with an npm SDK, and this is the shortest path from zero to a mainnet-state proof.

Clarity Check: an automated security check for Stacks contracts.

Paste the source or a deployed contract id (SP….name). In about a second you get a free summary: how many High / Medium / Low issues, and which kinds. The full report, with every line, why it matters and how to fix it, is 2,000 sats over Lightning or sBTC. No account, no email.

The checks come from the patterns behind the Clarity audit findings we've been paid for: admin state anyone can change, caller-supplied contracts run inside as-contract, tx-sender inside as-contract, unchecked responses, oracle prices with no freshness check, swaps with no min-out, share math on the live balance, block-count windows that broke with Nakamoto.

Before launch we ran it over 735 contracts deployed to mainnet between August and October and checked every Medium/High by hand. 14 contracts got one. The best catch was an AMM pool whose sell() read the balance from a token contract the caller passes in and never checked which contract it was. A fake token would have drained the STX side. It was never funded, so nothing was lost.

It's a pattern checker, not an audit. Logic bugs specific to your protocol still need a person: https://apeir.dk/online/

Two open-source tools that put wallet traffic on the Nym mixnet:

mixpool: broadcast Bitcoin transactions and query mempool APIs without exposing your IP.

zecmix: a local lightwalletd gateway, so any Zcash light client syncs and broadcasts over Nym.

Six Clarity checks from paid audits on Stacks: 1. Permissionless ...

Six Clarity checks from paid audits on Stacks:

1. Permissionless functions that move a deadline: do they require the state change that justifies it?
2. One price used in two comparisons: should the safety margin flip between them?
3. Share price read from a contract balance: a donation can move it.
4. tx-sender where contract-caller was meant.
5. Rewards credited in a predictable step: deposit-just-in-time.
6. Every public function should be safe with zero post-conditions.

Both of our winning AIBTC Clarity audit reports are now public case studies, with exact lines, call sequences, fixes and the on-chain payment txs:

- Jing v6-2 sBTC/STX order book: High, the 40 bp maker margin gate is bypassable (best of 7)
- CityCoins ccd016 swap vault: Medium, start-clock re-arms the sell window for free (best of 4)
