ZK-Rollup DAO Governance Security Assessment
A specialized security audit for DAOs operating on zkRollups. We analyze the integrity of governance state transitions, ZK-proof verification for votes, and the security of L1-L2 message bridges to prevent protocol capture and fund loss.

THE RISK LANDSCAPE
Why a Specialized zkRollup Governance Audit is Critical
Governance is the ultimate attack vector for a zkRollup. A standard smart contract audit misses the complex, multi-layered vulnerabilities unique to DAO-controlled L2s. Our assessment targets the specific failure modes that can lead to fund loss, censorship, or protocol capture.
01
Prover & Sequencer Governance Flaws
We audit the on-chain logic governing sequencer selection, prover slashing, and upgrade mechanisms. A single flaw here can allow malicious actors to halt the chain, censor transactions, or steal funds from the bridge.

02
Bridge & Multi-Sig Security Gaps
Deep analysis of the L1<>L2 bridge's governance controls, multi-signature configurations, and timelock implementations. We identify single points of failure that could lead to the loss of hundreds of millions in locked assets.

Upgrade Path & Timelock Analysis
Comprehensive review of the DAO's upgradeable contract architecture and timelock durations. We ensure emergency mechanisms are secure while preventing malicious proposals from being rushed through, a critical balance for live networks.

ZK-Rollup DAO Governance Audit FAQs
Get clear answers on our security assessment process, timeline, and deliverables for your ZK-Rollup's governance layer.
Our standard audit covers the full governance stack: the on-chain governance smart contracts (e.g., GovernorAlpha/GovernorBravo forks, Timelock controllers), the off-chain voting infrastructure (e.g., Snapshot strategies), and their secure interaction with the ZK-Rollup's bridge and sequencer. A typical engagement for a standard DAO setup takes 2-3 weeks, from kickoff to final report delivery. Complex, multi-chain governance systems may require 4+ weeks.
