Our structured, multi-layered approach delivers more than a checklist. We uncover critical vulnerabilities and provide actionable recommendations to secure your protocol's value and user trust.
DeFi Smart Contract Security Audit
Our Audit Methodology
Comprehensive Manual Review
Senior auditors perform line-by-line analysis of your codebase, focusing on business logic flaws, access control, and economic attack vectors that automated tools miss.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
We integrate industry-standard static and dynamic analysis tools (Slither, MythX) to systematically detect common vulnerabilities (reentrancy, overflow) and ensure no low-hanging fruit is missed.
Formal Verification & Specification
For critical financial functions, we develop formal specifications and use mathematical proofs to verify contract behavior matches intended logic, providing the highest assurance level.
Gas Optimization Analysis
Beyond security, we profile and optimize gas consumption for key functions, reducing user transaction costs and improving your protocol's competitive edge on mainnet.
Remediation & Re-Audit Support
We don't just deliver a report. Our team provides clear remediation guidance and conducts a final re-audit of fixes at no extra cost, ensuring all issues are resolved before deployment.
Final Security Certification
Upon successful remediation, we issue a verifiable security certificate and public audit report, boosting investor confidence and serving as a key trust signal for your users.
Security Standards & Coverage
Our audit methodology is built on a foundation of recognized security standards and comprehensive coverage, ensuring your DeFi protocol is battle-tested against real-world threats.
Comprehensive Test Suite Review
We audit your test coverage, edge cases, and integration tests to ensure they adequately simulate mainnet conditions, including fork testing and stress scenarios for oracles and liquidity.
Centralization & Admin Key Risk
Detailed analysis of privileged functions, timelocks, multi-sig configurations, and upgrade mechanisms. We provide actionable recommendations to minimize single points of failure and governance risks.
Economic & Mechanism Design Review
We assess the protocol's tokenomics, incentive alignment, slippage models, and flash loan resilience to identify vulnerabilities in the economic layer that could lead to insolvency or manipulation.

Why a Professional Audit is Critical
Smart contracts manage real value. A professional audit is not an optional step—it's a foundational requirement for any protocol that intends to secure user funds and operate at scale. Here's what our certified process delivers.
Vulnerability Detection
Our team of certified auditors uses a combination of manual review, static analysis, and formal verification to identify critical flaws like reentrancy, logic errors, and oracle manipulation that automated tools miss.
Gas Optimization
We analyze and refactor contract logic to reduce gas consumption by 15-40%, directly lowering transaction costs for your users and improving the economic viability of your protocol.
Compliance & Best Practices
We ensure your code adheres to industry standards like Solidity Style Guide and OpenZeppelin patterns, and complies with relevant regulatory frameworks for token design and DeFi operations.
Investor & User Confidence
A public audit report from a recognized firm is a key trust signal for VCs, partners, and users. It demonstrates a commitment to security and due diligence, essential for fundraising and adoption.
Post-Deployment Monitoring
Our audit includes recommendations for runtime monitoring and incident response plans. We help you set up alerts for anomalous contract behavior to protect assets after launch.
