DAO Treasury Attack Response & Reversal

When a DAO treasury is compromised, we execute emergency governance proposals and deploy technical countermeasures to recover or secure funds, including multi-sig wallet reconstitution and on-chain forensics.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your protocol.

We architect and deploy custom Solidity/Rust smart contracts that are secure by design. Our process includes formal verification, comprehensive unit/integration testing, and a final audit by a top-tier security firm before mainnet deployment.

  • Custom Logic: Build DeFi primitives, NFT marketplaces, or bespoke tokenomics.
  • Gas Optimization: Achieve up to 40% lower transaction costs through efficient code patterns.
  • Full Audit Trail: Deliverables include verified source code, technical specifications, and a formal audit report.

From a 2-week MVP to a complex multi-chain protocol, we deliver battle-tested contracts that form the trustless foundation for your application.

Our Emergency Response Capabilities

When a treasury attack occurs, speed and precision are critical. Our specialized team executes a proven, multi-phase response protocol to secure assets, analyze the breach, and initiate recovery.

01

Immediate Attack Triage

Within 15 minutes of your alert, our on-call security engineers initiate emergency protocols. We freeze vulnerable contracts, analyze the exploit vector, and map the attacker's on-chain footprint to contain the damage.
