Our Flash Loan Vulnerability Audit is a deep-dive security assessment designed to protect your DeFi protocol from sophisticated financial exploits. We simulate real-world attack vectors to identify critical vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
Flash Loan Vulnerability Audit
What We Audit For
Economic Model Stress Testing
We simulate extreme market conditions and adversarial trading patterns to validate the resilience of your protocol's lending, borrowing, and liquidation mechanisms under flash loan pressure.
Access Control & Privilege Escalation
We verify that admin functions, pause mechanisms, and upgradeability patterns are secure and cannot be maliciously triggered or bypassed within a single flash loan transaction block.
Gas Optimization & Denial-of-Service
We analyze transaction gas costs and block gas limits to ensure your core functions cannot be rendered inoperable (DoS) or prohibitively expensive by a flash loan attack.
Our Flash Loan Audit Process
A rigorous, multi-stage security review designed to identify and remediate critical vulnerabilities before deployment. Our process delivers actionable reports, not just findings.
Architecture & Specification Review
We analyze your protocol's design, business logic, and integration points to identify systemic risks and attack vectors specific to flash loan mechanics.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Leveraging proprietary and industry-standard tools (Slither, MythX) to detect common vulnerabilities like reentrancy, integer overflows, and access control flaws.
Manual Code Review & Exploit Simulation
Senior auditors perform line-by-line analysis, crafting custom attack scenarios to test price oracle manipulation, liquidity drain, and cross-contract logic flaws.
Remediation & Verification
We provide clear, prioritized fixes and work directly with your team. A final re-audit verifies all vulnerabilities are resolved before the audit seal is issued.

Beyond the Report
Our Flash Loan Vulnerability Audit delivers more than a checklist. We provide a strategic security partnership to harden your protocol, accelerate your roadmap, and build investor confidence with actionable, expert-backed remediation.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
We deliver a detailed, step-by-step action plan with severity-based prioritization (Critical, High, Medium). Each finding includes specific, audited code fixes and gas optimization recommendations to resolve vulnerabilities efficiently.
Architectural Threat Modeling
Beyond line-by-line analysis, we review your protocol's integration points, admin controls, and economic design. We identify systemic risks in your architecture that could be exploited via flash loans or complex multi-contract interactions.
Post-Audit Verification & Monitoring
We verify all implemented fixes and provide a final attestation letter. Includes 30 days of post-audit advisory on new code changes related to the audit scope, ensuring vulnerabilities stay patched during rapid development.
Flash Loan Audit FAQs
Get clear answers on our specialized audit process for identifying and mitigating flash loan attack vectors in DeFi protocols.
Our audit follows a structured, multi-layered approach. We begin with manual code review by senior auditors to analyze business logic and economic incentives. This is complemented by targeted automated analysis using Slither and custom tools to detect known patterns. The core phase involves simulated attack scenarios, where we model flash loan exploits using forked mainnet environments to test price manipulation, oracle manipulation, and liquidity drain attacks under realistic conditions. Every finding is documented with a clear severity rating (Critical, High, Medium, Low), exploit scenario, and a concrete remediation recommendation.
