We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that form the secure foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on Solidity 0.8+ standards and OpenZeppelin libraries, ensuring security and gas efficiency from day one.
Governance Attack Simulation & Testing
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists for your protocol or application.
From a single token to a complex DeFi protocol, we deliver battle-tested code that scales.
- Token Standards: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721, andERC-1155implementations with advanced features like minting, burning, and governance hooks. - DeFi & dApps: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, vesting schedules, and multi-signature wallets.
- Security-First Process: Every contract undergoes internal review and is structured for seamless third-party audits by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
- Full Lifecycle Support: Development, testing on
Hardhat/Foundry, deployment to mainnet, and ongoing maintenance.
Our Governance Attack Simulation Framework
Identify and remediate critical vulnerabilities in your DAO or protocol governance before malicious actors can exploit them. Our battle-tested framework simulates real-world attack vectors to harden your on-chain decision-making.
Why Institutional Teams Choose Our Testing
Our governance attack simulation platform is engineered for the rigorous demands of institutional DeFi, custody, and DAO operations. We deliver verifiable security outcomes, not just reports.
Institutional-Grade Reporting
Receive executive summaries for leadership and technical deep-dives for engineering teams. All findings are prioritized by CVSS scores and include actionable remediation steps.
Continuous Security Posture
Integrate our testing into your CI/CD pipeline for automated governance proposal analysis and smart contract change validation, ensuring security is maintained through upgrades.
Expert-Led Threat Modeling
Our engagements are led by security researchers with direct experience auditing top-tier DeFi protocols. We focus on your unique tokenomics and governance architecture.
SLA-Backed Service Delivery
We operate with institutional SLAs for engagement timelines, report delivery, and remediation support. Your security schedule is predictable and guaranteed.
Testing Approaches: DIY vs. Chainscore Simulation

Our 4-Phase Engagement Process
We deliver structured, predictable results for your governance security. Our proven process, refined across 50+ DAOs and DeFi protocols, ensures comprehensive coverage and actionable remediation.
Phase 1: Governance Architecture Review
We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your on-chain governance system, including timelocks, multi-sigs, proposal logic, and voter delegation mechanisms. This phase identifies foundational vulnerabilities before active testing begins.
Phase 2: Threat Modeling & Scenario Design
Our team, including former white-hat hackers, designs custom attack vectors based on your specific architecture. We simulate real-world threats like proposal spam, vote manipulation, treasury drainage, and governance takeover.
Phase 3: Live Simulation & Exploitation
We execute controlled attacks on a forked mainnet environment or your testnet. This hands-on phase validates vulnerabilities, measures economic impact, and documents the exact steps an attacker would take.
Phase 4: Reporting & Remediation Support
You receive a prioritized report with CVSS-scored findings, proof-of-concept code, and clear remediation steps. We provide direct engineering support to help your team patch vulnerabilities and harden your system.
Governance Testing FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating our governance security testing services.
A comprehensive governance attack simulation and audit typically takes 2-3 weeks from kickoff to final report. This includes 1 week for initial setup and threat modeling, 1-2 weeks for active simulation and penetration testing, and 2-3 days for report compilation and debrief. For complex DAOs or protocols with custom governance modules, timelines may extend to 4 weeks.
