State Channel Security Auditing & Dispute Resolution

Comprehensive security reviews and formal verification of state channel smart contracts. We specialize in designing robust, automated dispute resolution systems to prevent fraud and ensure protocol integrity.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built to your exact specifications.

We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that form the foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas efficiency, and comprehensive audit readiness from day one.

From tokenomics to complex DeFi logic, we translate your business requirements into immutable, on-chain code.

  • Token Standards: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and ERC-4626 vaults with tailored minting, burning, and governance logic.
  • DeFi & DAOs: Automated market makers (AMMs), staking pools, vesting schedules, and multi-signature governance modules.
  • Security Protocol: Built with OpenZeppelin libraries, following Solidity 0.8+ best practices, and prepared for third-party audits by CertiK or Trail of Bits.
  • Delivery: Receive fully documented source code, a deployment script, and a verification package for Etherscan in 2-4 weeks.

BEYOND STANDARD SECURITY

Why a Specialized State Channel Audit is Critical

Generic smart contract audits miss the unique, off-chain complexities of state channels. Our specialized review targets the critical logic that protects your funds and ensures fair dispute resolution.

01

Off-Chain Logic & State Transition Verification

We rigorously audit the core state machine, ensuring every off-chain state update is valid, non-repudiable, and correctly signed to prevent invalid transitions that could lock funds.

Dispute Resolution & On-Chain Challenge Mechanisms

We test the complete lifecycle of disputes, from challenge initiation to timeout enforcement and final settlement, guaranteeing your protocol can always force a correct on-chain outcome.

Signature & Nonce Management Security

We analyze signature schemes, replay attack vectors, and nonce management to prevent signature forgery and ensure each signed state is unique and authoritative.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your tokenomics, DeFi protocols, and NFT ecosystems. Our development process is built on security-first principles using Solidity 0.8+, OpenZeppelin libraries, and formal verification techniques to mitigate risks.

  • End-to-End Development: From initial design and ERC-20/721/1155 standards to complex DeFi logic and governance systems.
  • Security & Audits: Rigorous internal review, automated testing with Hardhat/Foundry, and preparation for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption and protocol sustainability.

We deliver auditable, maintainable code with comprehensive documentation, enabling your team to iterate confidently post-launch.

Technical & Commercial Insights

State Channel Security & Dispute Resolution FAQ

Answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical leads ask when evaluating security partners for their state channel implementations.

We employ a multi-layered methodology: 1. Specification Review - Formal verification of your off-chain protocol logic against the on-chain adjudicator. 2. Code-Level Analysis - Manual line-by-line review of Solidity/Vyper smart contracts and off-chain client code (JavaScript/Go/Rust) for race conditions and edge cases. 3. Game-Theoretic Simulation - We model attack vectors (e.g., griefing, invalid state submission) using custom tooling to stress-test your dispute resolution logic. This process has secured over $200M+ in locked channel value across 30+ projects.
