Very simply, the audit looks for the following declarations from the developer's site. With these declarations, it is reasonable to trust the smart contracts.

  • Here is my smart contract on the blockchain
  • You can see it matches a software repository used to develop the code
  • Here is the documentation that explains what my smart contract does
  • Here are the tests I ran to verify my smart contract
  • Here are the audit(s) performed to review my code by third party experts

Documentation

89%

This section looks at the software documentation. The document explaining these questions is here.

6. Is there a whitepaper? (Y/N)

Answer: Yes

7. Is the protocol's software architecture documented? (Y/N)

Answer: Yes

This protocol's software architecture is documented in https://maplefinance.gitbook.io/maple/technical-resources/protocol-overview/smart-contract-architecture.

Score Guidance:
Yes
The documents identify software architecture and contract interaction through any of the following: diagrams, arrows, specific reference to software functions or a written explanation on how smart contracts interact.
No
Protocols receive a "no" if none of these are included.

8. Does the software documentation fully cover the deployed contracts' source code? (%)

Answer: 100%

The Maple 2.0 code is well documented in a disconnected kind of way. There is an excellent architecture and overall description section In the "Protocol Overview" section. There are a detailed sections on Loans, Pools and admin functions. This documentation often refers to variables but only occasionally directly refers to the code. It discusses the actions of the code base very clearly but does not refer directly to the software code that implements it. Then the actual software has reasonably robust software documentation. The result is quite complete documentation that is rather disconnected from the code. As the documentation is clearly covering all the code, we will give 100% for this question and remove points for traceability later.    

Percentage Score Guidance:
100%
All contracts and functions documented
80%
Only the major functions documented
79 - 1%
Estimate of the level of software documentation
0%
No software documentation

9. Is it possible to trace the documented software to its implementation in the protocol's source code? (%)

Answer: 20%

There is minimal traceability between software documentation and implemented code. For the reasons described in Question 8 it is difficult to connect the comprehensive documentation to the actual code that implements it. Connection has to be done manually. For this reason a score of 20% is given.

Percentage Score Guidance:
100%
Clear explicit traceability between code and documentation at a requirement level for all code
60%
Clear association between code and documents via non explicit traceability
40%
Documentation lists all the functions and describes their functions
0%
No connection between documentation and code

Testing

Admin Controls

93%

This section covers the documentation of special access controls for a DeFi protocol. The admin access controls are the contracts that allow updating contracts or coefficients in the protocol.

Oracles

100%

This section goes over the documentation that a protocol may or may not supply about their Oracle usage. Oracles are a fundamental part of DeFi as they are responsible for relaying tons of price data information to thousands of protocols using blockchain technology.
