We architect and deploy production-ready smart contracts that are secure by design. Every contract undergoes a multi-stage audit process, including automated analysis with Slither and manual review by our senior Solidity engineers, before deployment to Mainnet.

GOVERNANCE AUDIT FOUNDATION
Comprehensive Attack Surface Analysis
We systematically deconstruct your protocol's governance model to identify and quantify every potential vulnerability, from proposal logic flaws to voter manipulation risks.
01
Governance Logic & Proposal Flow Audit
Deep analysis of your proposal lifecycle—creation, voting, timelocks, and execution—to prevent logic errors, parameter manipulation, and proposal hijacking.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process is built on OpenZeppelin standards and includes formal verification for critical functions.
- Full Lifecycle Delivery: From initial design and
Solidity/Rustdevelopment to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance. - Security-First: Every contract undergoes manual review and automated analysis with tools like Slither and MythX.
- Gas Optimization: We specialize in writing efficient code to minimize transaction costs, crucial for high-volume
DeFiandNFTapplications. - Compliance Ready: Integrate modular components for
ERC-20,ERC-721, and access controls to meet regulatory requirements.
Deliver a secure, auditable foundation for your token,
DeFiprotocol, orNFTplatform in as little as 4 weeks.
Technical & Commercial Questions
Governance Audit FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating our governance security audit service.
We employ a four-phase methodology: 1) Architecture Review of governance models (e.g., Compound, Aave, veToken). 2) Code Review of smart contracts (Solidity/Vyper) and off-chain scripts. 3) Attack Simulation testing for 15+ known vectors (proposal spam, flash loan manipulation, quorum attacks). 4) Final Report with CVSS-scored findings, PoC exploits, and prioritized remediation steps. This process is based on our work securing over $500M+ in governed assets.
