PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our Attack Simulation Methodology
We don't just audit code; we simulate real-world attacks to expose systemic vulnerabilities in your DAO's governance, treasury, and operational layers. Our methodology is trusted by institutions managing over $1B+ in on-chain assets.
01
Governance Attack Simulation
We simulate malicious proposals, voting manipulation, and delegate attacks to test the resilience of your Snapshot, Governor Bravo, or custom governance system. Identifies risks like proposal spam, flash loan voting, and quorum manipulation.

Treasury & Multisig Penetration
Red team exercises targeting your Gnosis Safe, DAO treasury management, and fund flow logic. We test for signature replay, social engineering of signers, and flawed withdrawal conditions to prevent catastrophic fund loss.

Smart Contract Exploit Chaining
Goes beyond single-contract audits by simulating complex, multi-step attacks that chain vulnerabilities across your protocol suite. Models real adversary behavior to find critical paths leading to exploit.

Tangible Security & Compliance Outcomes
Our Institutional DAO Security Attack Simulation service provides concrete, actionable results that directly strengthen your governance and operational resilience. We move beyond theoretical assessments to deliver verified improvements.
Proactive vs. Reactive Security
Attack Simulation vs. Traditional Security Audit
Traditional audits provide a static snapshot of code quality. Our Institutional DAO Attack Simulation is a dynamic, adversarial assessment that mimics real-world exploits to uncover systemic governance and operational risks.
| Security Assessment | Traditional Code Audit | Chainscore Attack Simulation |
|---|---|---|
Methodology | Static Analysis & Manual Review | Dynamic, Adversarial Penetration Testing |
Focus | Code Vulnerabilities (e.g., reentrancy) | Systemic & Governance Risks (e.g., proposal hijacking) |
Scope | Smart Contract Code | Full DAO Stack: Contracts, Frontend, Oracles, Multisig |
Test Environment | Local/Testnet | Forked Mainnet with Real Token Balances |
Team | Security Engineers | Ex-Whitehat Hackers & Protocol Specialists |
Deliverable | PDF Report with Findings | Live Exploit Demo & Actionable Mitigation Playbook |
Time to Value | 2-4 Weeks Post-Audit | Immediate, with Real-Time Threat Demonstration |

METHODOLOGY
Our 4-Phase Engagement Process
A structured, intelligence-driven approach to hardening your DAO's governance and treasury security. We move from reconnaissance to remediation, delivering actionable findings and validated fixes.
01
Phase 1: Threat Modeling & Reconnaissance
We map your DAO's entire attack surface, including governance contracts, treasury vaults, and member roles. This phase identifies critical vulnerabilities before testing begins.

Phase 2: Controlled Attack Simulation
Our certified white-hats execute realistic exploits in a forked mainnet environment. We simulate governance takeovers, flash loan attacks, and proposal manipulation to test your live defenses.

Institutional DAO Security: Key Questions
Critical questions our enterprise clients ask before engaging for a DAO security assessment and attack simulation.
We follow a structured, four-phase approach: 1) Architecture Review (governance contracts, treasury management, access controls), 2) Threat Modeling (identifying attack vectors like proposal hijacking, flash loan manipulation), 3) Live Simulation (executing realistic attacks on a forked mainnet environment), and 4) Remediation Roadmap (prioritized fixes with code-level guidance). This is based on our work securing over $500M+ in DAO-managed assets.
