We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process is built on audited code patterns and gas optimization from day one, ensuring your protocol is both secure and cost-effective to operate.
Relayer Security Audit
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Full Lifecycle Development: From initial design and
Solidity/Rustcoding to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance. - Security-First Approach: All contracts undergo internal audits and are built with
OpenZeppelinlibraries, preparing them for formal third-party review. - Protocol Integration: Seamless compatibility with major standards (
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155) and DeFi building blocks (oracles, AMMs, staking).
We deliver battle-tested contracts that reduce vulnerabilities and accelerate your path to a secure mainnet launch.
Comprehensive Audit Coverage
Our relayer security audit delivers a systematic, in-depth review of your entire transaction processing pipeline, from user signature validation to on-chain settlement. We identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they impact your users or assets.
Smart Contract Integration
We audit the core relayer contracts handling gas sponsorship, nonce management, and transaction bundling. We verify adherence to standards like ERC-2771 and ERC-4337, ensuring no reentrancy or logic flaws.
Backend & API Security
Our assessment covers your off-chain infrastructure—signer servers, job queues, and RPC management. We test for injection flaws, rate limiting bypasses, and private key handling to prevent server-side exploits.
Frontend & SDK Analysis
We review client-side libraries, wallet connection flows, and transaction simulation to prevent phishing, front-running, and user interface manipulation attacks that target end-users.
Economic & Incentive Review
We model attack vectors like griefing, fee extraction, and MEV exploitation specific to relayers. Our report includes mitigation strategies for incentive misalignment and economic sustainability.
Operational Security (OpSec)
We evaluate key management, multi-signature setups, upgrade procedures, and incident response plans. Our review ensures your team has secure processes for deployment and maintenance.
Final Verification & Reporting
Receive a detailed technical report with CVSS-scored vulnerabilities, proof-of-concept code, and step-by-step remediation guidance. Includes a re-audit to verify all fixes are implemented correctly.
Why a Specialized Relayer Audit is Critical
Relayers are complex, stateful systems that bridge on-chain and off-chain logic. A generic smart contract audit misses the critical attack vectors unique to transaction ordering, fee management, and cross-chain message validation.
State Management & Race Conditions
We audit for nonce management flaws, transaction ordering attacks (like front-running and sandwiching within your system), and state synchronization errors between your relayer nodes and the blockchain.
Fee Logic & Economic Security
Our review validates your fee calculation, distribution, and withdrawal mechanisms to prevent theft of protocol fees, griefing attacks, and economic exploits that can drain your treasury.
Cross-Chain Message Validation
For cross-chain relayers, we rigorously test message encoding/decoding, signature verification, and guardian set logic to prevent spoofing and unauthorized state changes.
Node Infrastructure & Off-Chain Components
We assess the security of your off-chain indexers, RPC configurations, keeper scripts, and private key management—components ignored in a standard contract audit.
Gas Optimization & Denial-of-Service
We identify gas inefficiencies in relayer logic and test for DoS vectors where attackers can spam transactions to block legitimate operations or exhaust funds.
Upgradeability & Admin Controls
We verify that upgrade mechanisms (Proxies, Diamonds) and admin multi-sigs are implemented securely, preventing unauthorized upgrades or privilege escalation.

Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built on battle-tested standards and audited code.
We architect and deploy the foundational logic for your Web3 application. Our contracts are built for security, gas efficiency, and upgradeability from day one, using industry standards like OpenZeppelin and Solmate.
- Custom Logic: Tailored
Solidity/Vypercontracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and RWA. - Security-First: Rigorous testing with
Foundry/Hardhat, formal verification, and pre-audit readiness. - Production Ready: Includes deployment scripts, upgrade proxies (
ERC-1967), and comprehensive documentation.
We deliver auditable, maintainable code that reduces risk and accelerates your path to mainnet launch.
How We Deliver Unmatched Security Depth
Our audit process is engineered for the high-stakes environment of blockchain relayers, combining battle-tested methodologies with deep protocol expertise to eliminate vulnerabilities before they reach production.
Multi-Layer Threat Modeling
We analyze your relayer's attack surface across the application, network, and consensus layers. This includes front-running resistance, transaction ordering attacks, and validator set manipulation specific to your underlying chain (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.).
Automated & Manual Code Review
Leverage industry-standard static analyzers (Slither, MythX) for broad coverage, paired with expert manual review of core logic—gas auction mechanisms, fee calculations, and nonce management—to catch subtle, high-impact bugs machines miss.
Economic & Incentive Analysis
We simulate adversarial economic scenarios to test the resilience of your fee models, slashing conditions, and staking mechanics. Ensures your system remains solvent and secure under market volatility and coordinated attacks.
Formal Verification for Critical Paths
Apply mathematical proofs to verify the correctness of your system's most critical components—such as fund settlement and withdrawal finality—guaranteeing they behave as specified under all possible conditions.
Integration & Dependency Audit
We audit not just your code, but all integrated smart contracts (oracles, bridges, DeFi protocols) and off-chain dependencies. Identifies risks from external system failures or malicious upgrades.
Remediation & Post-Audit Support
Receive a prioritized vulnerability report with actionable fixes and code examples. We provide follow-up reviews to verify corrections and offer ongoing consultation for future upgrades, ensuring long-term security hygiene.
Relayer Security Audit FAQs
Get clear answers on our security audit process for cross-chain relayers, designed for CTOs and technical founders evaluating infrastructure partners.
We employ a hybrid methodology combining automated analysis with manual expert review. This includes: 1) Architecture Review: Assessing the relayer's trust model, upgrade mechanisms, and failure scenarios. 2) Smart Contract Audit: In-depth line-by-line review of on-chain components (e.g., Light Client, Message Verifiers) using static/dynamic analysis. 3) Off-Chain Node Audit: Security assessment of the off-chain software, including RPC handling, signing logic, and slashing conditions. 4) Integration Testing: Simulating adversarial network conditions and fork scenarios. Our process is based on industry standards from OpenZeppelin and Trail of Bits.
