Our Audit Methodology
Our systematic, multi-layered approach is designed to uncover critical vulnerabilities and provide actionable security improvements, ensuring your DeFi lending protocol is resilient against financial loss and exploits.
01
Manual Code Review
Senior auditors perform line-by-line analysis of your Solidity/Vyper contracts, focusing on business logic flaws, access control issues, and integration risks that automated tools miss.
