MEV & Flash Loan Attack Forensics

Specialized investigation service to detect, analyze, and document instances of Maximal Extractable Value extraction and flash loan attacks, assessing their impact and compliance implications for protocols and victims.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contract development for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.

We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts that are secure by design. Our development process integrates formal verification and multi-stage audits to eliminate vulnerabilities before deployment.

  • Custom Logic: Build on Solidity 0.8+, Rust (Solana), or Move (Aptos/Sui) for DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and DAOs.
  • Security First: All code follows OpenZeppelin standards and undergoes peer review + automated analysis.
  • Full Lifecycle: From specification and development to deployment on Mainnet and ongoing upgrade management.

Reduce your time-to-market with a 2-4 week MVP delivery and a 99.9% guarantee against critical bugs post-audit.

METHODOLOGY

Our Forensic Investigation Capabilities

We provide definitive, evidence-backed analysis of on-chain exploits. Our structured approach delivers the clarity you need for recovery, legal action, and security hardening.

01

Transaction Trace Reconstruction

We meticulously reconstruct the complete attack path, from the initial funding transaction to the final fund exfiltration. This timeline is essential for understanding the exploit's mechanics and identifying all involved addresses.

Smart Contract Vulnerability Analysis

Our experts perform a deep-dive code review to pinpoint the exact vulnerability exploited—be it a reentrancy flaw, price oracle manipulation, or logic error. We provide the specific lines of code and the root cause.

MEV & Front-Running Detection

We identify and quantify the impact of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) strategies, including sandwich attacks, time-bandit arbitrage, and priority gas auctions, to separate opportunistic profit from malicious theft.

Tangible Outcomes for Protocols and Legal Teams

Our forensic analysis delivers concrete, defensible results that directly support protocol recovery and legal action, moving beyond technical reports to actionable intelligence.

01

Comprehensive Attack Vector Report

A detailed technical breakdown of the exploit, including the root cause, transaction flow, and specific vulnerabilities leveraged. This forms the foundational evidence for all subsequent recovery and legal steps.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy audited, gas-optimized contracts for tokens, DeFi protocols, and NFTs. Our development process ensures security-first design, leveraging OpenZeppelin libraries and formal verification patterns to mitigate risks before the first line of code is written.

From initial concept to mainnet deployment, we deliver contracts that are battle-tested and maintainable, reducing your time-to-market from months to weeks.

  • Custom Logic: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and bespoke DeFi primitives (AMMs, staking, lending).
  • Security Rigor: Multi-stage audits, including automated analysis and manual review for critical vulnerabilities.
  • Full Lifecycle: Development, testing on Hardhat/Foundry, deployment, and upgrade management via transparent proxies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our specialized investigation process, timelines, and how we help you recover from and prevent sophisticated on-chain attacks.

Our forensic investigation follows a structured 4-phase methodology: 1) Triage & Data Capture: We immediately isolate the incident, pulling all relevant on-chain data, mempool logs, and contract states. 2) Transaction Reconstruction: Using custom tooling, we deconstruct the attack bundle to identify the root exploit vector (e.g., price oracle manipulation, reentrancy). 3) Attribution & Pathing: We trace fund flows across wallets and mixers to map the attacker's path and identify potential points of intervention. 4) Reporting & Remediation: You receive a detailed technical report with proof-of-concept code for the exploit and concrete steps to secure your protocol against future attacks.
