COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Optimize Security Without Sacrificing Viability
Our MEV-Resistant Contract Design Cost Assessment provides a data-driven blueprint. We quantify the trade-offs between security overhead and protocol performance, ensuring your economic model remains robust.
01
Quantified Risk Modeling
We simulate attack vectors (sandwiching, front-running, arbitrage) against your specific tokenomics to model potential losses. This quantifies the ROI of implementing specific MEV mitigations.
