Move-Based Cross-Chain Smart Contract Audit

Specialized security audits for cross-chain bridges built on Move (Aptos, Sui). We deliver comprehensive assessments of asset safety, message verification logic, and protocol vulnerabilities to secure your bridge's locked value.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage audit process, including automated analysis, manual review, and formal verification for critical logic.

  • Custom Tokenomics: Design and implement ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 tokens with bespoke minting, vesting, and governance logic.
  • DeFi Protocols: Build automated market makers (AMMs), lending pools, staking mechanisms, and yield aggregators.
  • Enterprise Logic: Develop complex business logic for supply chain, gaming (NFTs), and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
  • Gas Optimization: Achieve up to 40% lower transaction costs through efficient code patterns and storage optimization.

We deliver fully documented, audited contracts ready for mainnet deployment in as little as 2-4 weeks.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Move Bridge Audit Methodology

Our systematic, multi-layered audit process is designed to identify critical vulnerabilities in Move-based cross-chain bridges, ensuring your protocol's security and user funds are protected before mainnet launch.

01

Architecture & Design Review

We analyze the bridge's core architecture, including the Move VM integration, message passing protocols, and the security model of the light client or oracle design. This ensures fundamental soundness before code review.

02

Smart Contract Security Analysis

In-depth manual and automated review of Move modules (*.move files) for reentrancy, access control flaws, arithmetic errors, and Move-specific pitfalls like resource semantics and generics.

03

Cross-Chain Logic Validation

Focused testing of the message relayer, proof verification, and finality mechanisms. We simulate attack vectors like double-spends, signature forgery, and consensus manipulation across chains.

Economic & Incentive Modeling

Stress-testing the bridge's economic security, including validator/staker incentives, slashing conditions, and liquidity pool mechanics to prevent governance attacks and financial exploits.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Why a Specialized Move Bridge Audit Matters

Cross-chain bridges are the most targeted attack vectors in Web3. A generic smart contract audit is insufficient for the unique security model and asset flow logic of Move-based bridges. Our specialized audits deliver the depth required to secure high-value, multi-chain liquidity.

03

Bridge-Specific Economic & Governance Review

Analysis of fee models, slashing conditions, validator set updates, and emergency pause mechanisms to ensure economic security and operational resilience under attack.

05

Integration & Upgrade Path Analysis

We audit the security of integration with oracles, relayers, and multi-sigs, and review upgradeability patterns to prevent governance takeovers or broken dependencies.

06

Comprehensive Risk Report & Remediation

You receive a prioritized report with CVSS scores, proof-of-concept exploits for critical issues, and direct guidance from our engineers to remediate findings quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our specialized audit process, timeline, and security guarantees for Move-based cross-chain protocols.

Our methodology is a rigorous, multi-layered process tailored for cross-chain complexity. It includes: 1) Architecture Review of the cross-chain messaging flow and bridge design. 2) Automated Analysis using Move-specific static analyzers and custom fuzzing tools. 3) Manual Code Review by auditors certified in Move and Rust, focusing on Aptos and Sui's unique resource model, cross-chain state consistency, and reentrancy risks. 4) Threat Modeling specific to bridge attacks (e.g., signature forgery, message replay). 5) Final Verification against our 150+ point checklist for cross-chain security. We've secured over $500M+ in cross-chain TVL using this approach.
