PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Hardware Security Assessment Framework
A systematic, multi-layered evaluation of your physical blockchain infrastructure to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they become exploits. We deliver actionable reports, not just checklists.
01
On-Site Physical Inspection
Our certified engineers conduct hands-on audits of data center environments, server racks, and hardware enclaves. We verify physical access controls, environmental safeguards, and tamper-evident seals to prevent unauthorized physical access to validator nodes and signing keys.

Data Center Standard
02
Hardware Security Module (HSM) Validation
Comprehensive assessment of your HSM configuration, key generation processes, and cryptographic operations. We ensure compliance with FIPS 140-2/3 standards and validate secure key storage, backup, and rotation policies for MPC wallets and validator signing.

BEYOND SMART CONTRACTS
Why DePINs Need Specialized Hardware Audits
Traditional blockchain security focuses on code. DePINs require a holistic assessment of the physical hardware, firmware, and network layers that power real-world infrastructure. Our specialized audits bridge this critical gap.
01
Hardware & Firmware Integrity
We audit the physical device's hardware security module (HSM), secure boot process, and firmware for vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity or enable physical tampering.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts on EVM and Solana that form the backbone of your Web3 application. Our process delivers audit-ready code from day one, using battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal reviews.
- Token Systems:
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, andSPLtokens with custom minting, vesting, and governance logic. - DeFi Protocols: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, lending/borrowing modules, and yield optimizers.
- Enterprise Logic: Multi-signature wallets, access control, upgradeable proxies, and cross-chain bridges.
- Security First: Every contract undergoes static analysis, formal verification, and a pre-audit checklist before deployment.
We guarantee zero critical vulnerabilities in production. Our contracts power protocols securing over $500M+ in total value locked (TVL).
From a 2-week MVP to a complex multi-chain system, we provide the technical foundation you can build on with confidence. We handle the full lifecycle: specification, development, testing, deployment, and post-launch monitoring.
