PROVEN PROCESS
Our Four-Phase Audit Methodology
A systematic, transparent approach to DeFi compliance that ensures your protocol meets institutional-grade regulatory standards. Each phase delivers actionable insights and clear documentation for stakeholders and auditors.
01
Phase 1: Architecture & Code Review
Deep technical analysis of your smart contract architecture and source code. We map business logic to on-chain implementation, identifying regulatory exposure points and architectural risks before formal testing begins.
Deliverable: Comprehensive architecture assessment report with risk heat map.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers about our audit process, timeline, and how we help you achieve compliance and security for your institutional-grade DeFi protocol.
A comprehensive audit for an institutional DeFi protocol typically takes 3-6 weeks, depending on codebase size and complexity. This includes a 2-3 week deep-dive security review, a 1-2 week regulatory compliance assessment against frameworks like FATF Travel Rule and MiCA, and a final week for report generation and remediation guidance.
