Security Audit for Institutional Gateways

Comprehensive penetration testing and code review for your DeFi API gateway infrastructure. We identify and remediate critical vulnerabilities in authentication, rate-limiting, and blockchain-specific attack vectors.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.

We architect, develop, and audit custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that form the trustless backbone of your application. Our focus is on security-first development using established patterns from OpenZeppelin and rigorous internal testing to mitigate risks before deployment.

  • End-to-End Development: From specification and gas optimization to deployment and verification on EVM/Solana/Cosmos chains.
  • Security Audits: Every contract undergoes internal review against common vulnerabilities (reentrancy, overflow) before we recommend third-party audits.
  • Upgradeable Architecture: Build with future-proof patterns like Transparent Proxy or UUPS for seamless, secure updates.
  • Integration Ready: Contracts are delivered with comprehensive documentation and integration tests for your front-end team.

We deliver battle-tested code that reduces time-to-audit by 40% and provides a secure foundation for scaling to millions in TVL.

Our Security Audit Methodology

Our multi-layered audit process is engineered to meet the stringent security, compliance, and operational demands of financial institutions and high-value gateways.

01

Comprehensive Threat Modeling

We begin with a systematic analysis of your gateway's architecture to identify and prioritize attack vectors, from frontend UI exploits to consensus-level threats, ensuring no critical vulnerability is overlooked.

02

Manual Code Review & Static Analysis

Senior auditors conduct line-by-line reviews of smart contracts and backend systems, supplemented by automated static analysis tools (Slither, MythX) to detect subtle logic flaws and gas inefficiencies.

Dynamic & Fuzz Testing

We simulate real-world attack scenarios and perform fuzz testing with millions of randomized inputs to uncover edge-case failures, reentrancy risks, and oracle manipulation vulnerabilities.

Formal Verification

For core settlement and custody logic, we apply formal methods to mathematically prove the correctness of critical contract properties, eliminating entire classes of runtime errors.

Custom Blockchain Development

End-to-end blockchain solutions from core protocol design to production deployment.

We architect and build custom blockchain networks and Layer 2 solutions tailored to your specific transaction volume, privacy, and governance needs. Our development process delivers a production-ready mainnet in 8-12 weeks, complete with validators, explorers, and cross-chain bridges.

From a private consortium chain for enterprise data to a high-throughput public L2, we deliver the foundational infrastructure your application requires.

  • Core Protocol Design: Custom consensus (PoA, PoS), token economics, and governance models.
  • Node & Validator Setup: Deployment of Geth, Besu, or Substrate nodes with orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
  • Essential Tooling: Block explorers, wallet integrations, and Chainlink oracles for real-world data.
  • Security & Compliance: Built-in audit trails, role-based access control, and regulatory-ready architecture.
