  A blockchain audit can go back to the very first transaction recorded on the blockchain. This is because each transaction is linked to the previous one, creating an unbroken chain of transactions. So, theoretically, you can trace back to the genesis block, which is the first block ever created in a blockchain. However, the practicality of auditing every single transaction may depend on the specific blockchain and the resources available for the audit.

  When it comes to auditing a blockchain, the length of time that can be audited depends on the blockchain's design and the availability of historical data. Some blockchains store the entire transaction history, allowing for a complete audit of all transactions since the blockchain's inception. However, other blockchains may have limitations on the amount of historical data that can be accessed or may only store a subset of the transaction history. Therefore, the ability to audit a blockchain's entire history may vary depending on the specific blockchain implementation.
