Move-based Governance Framework Assessment

Specialized security audits for DAO governance modules on Aptos and Sui. We leverage Move's resource-oriented model to verify secure asset handling, voting logic, and access control, protecting your treasury from exploits.

overview
RELIABLE FOUNDATION

Blockchain Node Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade, fully managed node infrastructure for high-throughput blockchain applications.

We deploy and manage dedicated, non-shared nodes across major protocols like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon. Our infrastructure guarantees 99.9% uptime SLAs, sub-second RPC response times, and robust security to keep your dApps running smoothly.

Focus on building your product, not maintaining infrastructure. We handle the heavy lifting.

  • Multi-Chain Support: Full nodes, archive nodes, and validators for EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and Aptos.
  • Performance & Reliability: Global low-latency network, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring.
  • Developer Experience: Seamless integration with ethers.js/web3.js, WebSocket support, and dedicated endpoints.
  • Security First: Isolated environments, DDoS protection, and regular security audits.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

What Our Governance Security Audit Covers

Our specialized audit for Move-based governance frameworks delivers actionable security insights, ensuring your protocol's on-chain decision-making is robust, transparent, and resistant to manipulation.

01

Smart Contract & Module Security

In-depth review of Move modules governing proposals, voting, treasury management, and upgrades. We identify vulnerabilities like reentrancy, access control flaws, and logic errors specific to the Move VM.

02

Economic & Incentive Analysis

Evaluation of tokenomics, voting power distribution, delegation mechanics, and slashing conditions. We model attack vectors for vote buying, whale dominance, and governance stagnation.

Why a Specialized Move Audit is Critical for DAOs

Generic smart contract audits miss the unique risks of Move-based governance. Our specialized assessment targets the specific vulnerabilities that threaten DAO treasuries and member voting power.

01

Move-Specific Vulnerability Detection

We identify risks generic auditors miss: resource-oriented exploits, module upgrade pitfalls, and custom type safety violations unique to the Move VM. Protect your DAO's core logic from novel attack vectors.

Governance Logic & Treasury Safeguards

Deep audit of proposal execution, voting weight calculations, and treasury fund flows. Ensures no single proposal can drain assets or permanently alter governance without explicit, intended consensus.

Formal Verification for Core Rules

Apply mathematical proof techniques to your DAO's most critical invariants—like quorum requirements and treasury withdrawal limits. Provides the highest assurance level for rule enforcement.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by experts for your Web3 product.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process ensures gas efficiency, upgradeability, and comprehensive security audits before mainnet deployment.

  • Custom Logic: Build on ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, or bespoke standards.
  • Security-First: Rigorous testing with Foundry/Hardhat and audits following OpenZeppelin patterns.
  • Full Lifecycle: From design and development to deployment and verification on Etherscan.

Deliver a fully audited, production-ready contract suite in as little as 2-4 weeks, reducing your technical risk and accelerating your go-to-market.
