BEYOND STANDARD SECURITY
Why a Specialized Cross-Chain Audit is Critical
Standard smart contract audits miss the unique attack vectors and governance complexities introduced by multi-chain architectures. Our specialized audit methodology is designed for the realities of cross-chain systems.
01
Bridge & Message Layer Security
We perform deep adversarial testing on cross-chain communication layers (e.g., LayerZero, Axelar, Wormhole, IBC), validating message validation, relayer incentives, and signature verification to prevent catastrophic bridge exploits.

Governance Attack Surface Analysis
We map and stress-test the expanded governance attack surface, including multi-sig configurations, cross-chain proposal execution, voter apathy risks, and treasury management across chains.

03
State Consistency & Finality Risks
We audit for consensus mismatches, reorg risks, and state synchronization failures between heterogeneous chains (e.g., Ethereum L1 vs. L2, Cosmos vs. Solana), ensuring asset integrity is never compromised.

04
Upgrade Path & Dependency Risk
We evaluate the security of upgrade mechanisms (proxies, module systems) and third-party dependencies (oracles, price feeds) across all supported chains, preventing upgrade hijacking and oracle manipulation.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists to power your protocol.
We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that form the backbone of your application. Our process delivers gas-optimized, upgradeable, and secure code from day one, using battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and Solmate.
- Custom Logic: Build
ERC-20,ERC-721, staking systems, multi-sig wallets, and custom DeFi primitives. - Security-First: Rigorous internal review and formal verification preparation for third-party audits.
- Full Lifecycle: From initial design and
Hardhat/Foundrytesting to mainnet deployment and verification.
We deliver contracts you can trust, reducing your time-to-audit by weeks and mitigating critical risks before deployment.

Cross-Chain Governance Audit FAQs
Get clear answers on our methodology, timeline, and deliverables for auditing the security and resilience of your multi-chain governance system.
Our audit provides a comprehensive security and risk assessment of your multi-chain governance system. This includes the smart contracts for governance (e.g., timelocks, voting, proposals), cross-chain messaging layers (e.g., Wormhole, Axelar, LayerZero), bridge validators, and the economic security of the entire system. We analyze for 50+ vulnerability classes, from logic flaws and reentrancy to governance attacks like proposal spam, flash loan manipulation, and cross-chain message forgery.
