Storage Data Availability Layer Security Review

overview

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our development process is built for enterprise-grade security and regulatory readiness from day one.

Custom Logic: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, DeFi primitives, and bespoke protocols.
Security-First: Development with OpenZeppelin standards, formal verification, and comprehensive test suites.
Gas Optimization: Expert-level code to minimize transaction costs and maximize user efficiency.

Move from concept to a live, secure mainnet deployment in as little as 4-6 weeks with our streamlined development lifecycle.

We provide full technical ownership and documentation, ensuring your team can maintain and extend the codebase. Our contracts are built to integrate seamlessly with your existing front-end and backend infrastructure.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Security Review Methodology

Our structured, multi-layered approach to Data Availability Layer security is designed to identify critical vulnerabilities and deliver actionable, production-ready results. We focus on the specific risks that threaten your network's integrity and liveness.

Architecture & Protocol Review

Deep analysis of your Data Availability (DA) layer's core design, consensus mechanism, and data sampling logic. We assess for liveness failures, data withholding attacks, and protocol-level economic incentives.

50+

Protocols Reviewed

Celestia, EigenDA, Avail

Expertise

Smart Contract & Node Security

Comprehensive audit of on-chain contracts for fraud proofs, data commitments, and slashing conditions, paired with a review of node software for RPC security and peer-to-peer networking vulnerabilities.

Solidity, Rust, Go

Languages

OpenZeppelin

Standards

Cryptographic Implementation Audit

Rigorous verification of cryptographic primitives including KZG commitments, erasure coding (Reed-Solomon), digital signatures, and VDFs to ensure mathematical correctness and resistance to known attacks.

Formal Verification

Method

Zero-Knowledge

Specialization

Economic & Game Theory Analysis

Stress-testing the cryptoeconomic model for validator/staker incentives, slashing conditions, and griefing attack vectors to ensure network security under adversarial conditions.

Sybil Resistance

Focus

Nash Equilibrium

Analysis

Operational Security & Monitoring

Review of key management, node orchestration, and monitoring systems. We provide a blueprint for secure deployment, incident response, and real-time threat detection.

SOC2 Framework

Guidance

24/7 Alerts

Monitoring

Remediation & Final Verification

We deliver a prioritized vulnerability report with clear remediation steps and proof-of-concept exploits. Follow-up verification ensures all critical issues are resolved before mainnet launch.

BEYOND STANDARD SECURITY

Why a Specialized DA Audit is Critical

Generic smart contract audits miss the unique attack vectors and economic incentives of data availability layers. Our specialized reviews target the core protocols that underpin rollup security and scalability.

Protocol-Specific Threat Modeling

We analyze the unique trust assumptions of your DA layer (e.g., Celestia, EigenDA, Avail), mapping out protocol-specific risks like data withholding attacks, incentive misalignment, and consensus vulnerabilities that generic audits overlook.

DA-Specific Vectors

100%

Coverage

Data Availability Proof Verification

Our experts rigorously test your implementation of Data Availability Sampling (DAS), fraud proofs, and validity proofs. We ensure data can be reliably reconstructed and that the system correctly identifies and penalizes malicious actors.

False Positives

Economic & Incentive Security

We audit the cryptoeconomic design—staking slashing conditions, sequencer/prover incentives, and fee mechanisms—to ensure the system remains secure and live under adversarial conditions and market volatility.

Integration Risk for Rollups

We review the integration points between your DA layer and leading rollup stacks (OP Stack, Arbitrum Nitro, zkSync Era). We identify bridge vulnerabilities, sequencing risks, and ensure fault proofs correctly leverage DA guarantees.

FULLY MANAGED

Blockchain Infrastructure & Node Management

Enterprise-grade, multi-chain node infrastructure with 99.9% uptime SLA and 24/7 monitoring.

We eliminate the operational burden of running your own blockchain infrastructure. Our fully managed service provides dedicated, high-performance nodes for EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and other major L1/L2 networks. You get direct RPC/WebSocket access without the DevOps overhead.

Focus on building your application, not managing servers, security patches, or sync issues.

Guaranteed Performance: 99.9% uptime SLA, sub-second latency, and unlimited archival data.
Security & Compliance: Dedicated instances, DDoS protection, and SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure.
Cost-Effective Scaling: Predictable pricing. Scale from a single node to a global cluster without vendor lock-in.
Expert Support: 24/7 monitoring, alerting, and direct access to our blockchain engineers.

Security & Efficiency Analysis

Build vs. Buy: Internal Review vs. Chainscore Audit

A direct comparison of the costs, risks, and outcomes of conducting an internal security review versus engaging Chainscore Labs for a professional Data Availability Layer audit.

Security Factor	Internal Team Review	Chainscore Professional Audit
