A systematic, multi-layered approach to securing lending protocols. We don't just find vulnerabilities; we deliver production-ready, battle-tested code.
Lending Protocol Smart Contract Audit & Hardening
Our Audit & Hardening Methodology
Architecture Review & Threat Modeling
We analyze your protocol's design against known attack vectors like flash loan exploits, oracle manipulation, and economic logic flaws before a single line of code is audited.
Automated & Manual Code Review
Combines Slither and Foundry-based fuzzing with deep manual review by senior auditors. We scrutinize every function for logic errors, reentrancy, and gas inefficiencies.
Economic Security Analysis
Stress-testing of liquidation engines, interest rate models, and reserve factors under extreme market conditions to ensure protocol solvency and user fund safety.
Remediation & Hardening Support
We provide prioritized, actionable fixes—not just a report. Our team works with your developers to implement and verify corrections, ensuring vulnerabilities are eliminated.
Final Verification & Certification
A conclusive re-audit of all fixes and a final security assessment. You receive a verifiable certification and public audit report to build trust with users and partners.
Post-Deployment Monitoring
Optional ongoing monitoring for newly disclosed vulnerabilities affecting your dependencies (e.g., OpenZeppelin) and the broader DeFi ecosystem, with proactive alerts.
Critical Security Focus Areas for Lending
Our audits target the most exploitable vectors in DeFi lending. We deliver a prioritized security roadmap with actionable fixes to protect your protocol's assets and users.
Liquidation Engine Integrity
Stress-testing of liquidation logic, incentive mechanisms, and keeper systems. We ensure liquidations are profitable, timely, and resistant to front-running or griefing attacks under volatile conditions.
Interest Rate Model Security
Mathematical verification of rate curve algorithms (linear, kinked, jump-rate). We audit for rounding errors, overflow risks, and ensure models behave predictably across all utilization ranges.
Access Control & Privilege Escalation
Exhaustive mapping of admin functions, timelocks, and multi-sig configurations. We identify and remediate centralization risks, ensuring no single point of failure can compromise the protocol.

Post-Audit Hardening & Remediation
An audit report is a starting point. We provide the technical execution to systematically fix vulnerabilities, upgrade your codebase, and deploy a secure, production-ready lending protocol.
Vulnerability Remediation
We implement fixes for all critical, high, and medium-severity issues identified in your audit. Our team writes the corrected Solidity code, conducts peer reviews, and ensures fixes do not introduce new attack vectors.
Gas Optimization & Refactoring
Beyond security, we harden your protocol for efficiency. We refactor code to reduce gas costs for core functions (deposits, withdrawals, liquidations) by 15-40%, directly lowering user transaction fees and improving competitiveness.
Re-Audit Coordination & Liaison
We manage the entire re-audit process. We prepare the updated codebase, submit it to the auditing firm, and act as your technical liaison to clarify fixes and expedite the final approval, saving your team weeks of back-and-forth.
Production Deployment Support
We assist with the secure deployment of the hardened contracts to mainnet or testnet. This includes verifying contracts on Etherscan, configuring initial parameters, and executing a phased go-live to mitigate upgrade risks.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
We deliver comprehensive documentation of all changes, a revised technical specification, and conduct a handover session with your engineering team to ensure full understanding and ownership of the hardened codebase.

Business Value & Risk Mitigation
Our lending protocol audit and hardening service delivers measurable security improvements and operational confidence, directly protecting your capital and reputation.
Comprehensive Vulnerability Detection
We identify critical risks like reentrancy, oracle manipulation, and logic errors using a combination of static analysis, formal verification, and manual review by senior auditors with 5+ years of DeFi experience.
Economic Security Hardening
We model and stress-test your protocol's economic assumptions under extreme market conditions (e.g., 99% collateral price drops, flash loan attacks) to ensure solvency and stability.
Post-Audit Support & Monitoring
Receive ongoing support for 90 days post-audit, including review of critical fixes and integration with our real-time monitoring dashboard for early threat detection on mainnet.
Insurance & Fundraising Readiness
A Chainscore audit report is recognized by leading protocol insurers and venture capital firms, accelerating underwriting processes and technical due diligence for your next funding round.
Gas Optimization & Cost Savings
We identify and remediate gas-inefficient patterns in core functions (liquidations, swaps, interest accrual), reducing operational costs for users and improving protocol competitiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
