Our structured, multi-layered audit process is designed to uncover critical vulnerabilities while providing actionable insights for your development team.
Smart Contract Security Audit
Our Security Audit Methodology
Manual Code Review
In-depth, line-by-line analysis by senior auditors to identify logic flaws, business logic errors, and architectural weaknesses that automated tools miss.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Systematic scanning using industry-standard tools (Slither, MythX) to detect common vulnerabilities from the SWC Registry and OWASP Top 10.
Formal Verification
Mathematical proof of critical contract properties (e.g., token supply, access control) to guarantee correctness under all possible execution paths.
Gas Optimization Analysis
Detailed report on gas inefficiencies with specific recommendations, reducing deployment and transaction costs by an average of 15-40%.
Comprehensive Reporting
Clear, prioritized findings with severity ratings (Critical/High/Medium), exploit scenarios, and step-by-step remediation guidance.
Remediation & Re-audit
We review your fixes and conduct a final verification audit at no extra cost, ensuring all vulnerabilities are properly addressed before mainnet deployment.
What You Receive
A Chainscore security audit delivers more than a report. You receive a comprehensive risk assessment, prioritized remediation guidance, and the confidence to deploy with institutional-grade security.
Expert-Led Threat Modeling
Our senior auditors conduct a systematic review of your system's architecture and business logic to identify attack vectors and edge cases that automated tools miss, ensuring holistic protection.
Gas Optimization Analysis
Beyond security, we analyze your contract's gas consumption and provide specific recommendations to reduce deployment and transaction costs, directly impacting your users and operational budget.
Remediation Support & Verification
We don't just point out problems. Our team provides direct support during the fix phase and conducts a final verification audit on the updated code to confirm all critical issues are resolved.
Security Seal & Public Report
Upon successful audit completion, receive a Chainscore Security Seal to build trust with your users and community. Optionally publish a sanitized version of the report to demonstrate transparency.

Why a Professional Audit is Critical
A smart contract audit is not an expense; it's a strategic investment in your project's longevity and user trust. Here's how our rigorous process delivers tangible business value.
Prevent Catastrophic Financial Loss
A single vulnerability can lead to irreversible fund loss. Our audits identify critical flaws like reentrancy, logic errors, and access control issues before deployment, protecting your treasury and user assets.
Build Unshakeable Market Trust
A public audit report from a recognized firm is a primary trust signal for users, investors, and exchanges. We provide a detailed, transparent report that validates your protocol's security posture.
Accelerate Exchange Listings & Partnerships
Top-tier CEXs and institutional partners require a professional security audit. Our certified reports meet the compliance standards of leading platforms, removing a major barrier to growth.
Reduce Long-Term Technical Debt
Our audits include architectural review and gas optimization recommendations. This improves code maintainability and reduces future upgrade costs, saving significant engineering resources.
Mitigate Legal & Reputational Risk
Demonstrating due diligence through a professional audit is crucial for regulatory compliance and shields your team from negligence claims in the event of a third-party exploit.
Gain a Competitive Edge
In a crowded market, a verified security audit is a key differentiator. It signals maturity and professionalism, helping you attract quality users and stand out from unaudited competitors.
