Our DEX-Specific Attack Simulations
We don't just audit code; we simulate real-world attacks on your DEX's unique architecture. Our adversarial testing identifies the financial logic flaws and economic attack vectors that generic audits miss, protecting your liquidity and your users' funds.
Flash Loan Attack Simulation
We replicate complex multi-protocol arbitrage and price manipulation attacks to test your pool's resilience against sudden, large-scale capital movements. Identifies vulnerabilities in oracle reliance and swap fee logic.
Liquidity Drain & Sandwich Attack Testing
Simulates MEV bot strategies to exploit slippage tolerances and transaction ordering. Validates the effectiveness of your pool's fee structure and minimum liquidity thresholds under adversarial conditions.
Governance & Tokenomics Attack Simulation
Stress-tests your veTokenomics, fee distribution, and voting mechanisms against whale manipulation and governance attacks. Ensures long-term protocol stability and fair reward distribution.
Oracle Manipulation & Price Feed Integrity
Rigorously tests the security of your price feed integration (Chainlink, Pyth, Tellor). We simulate latency attacks, data staleness, and flash crash scenarios to prevent oracle-based liquidation exploits.
Cross-Protocol Contagion Risk Analysis
Models the cascading failure risk from integrated lending protocols (Aave, Compound) and other DEXs. Identifies systemic risks in your collateral and borrowing logic during market-wide volatility.
Smart Contract Upgrade & Admin Key Risk Assessment
Simulates attack paths through upgrade proxies, timelocks, and multi-sig configurations. Validates your emergency response and governance procedures to prevent privilege escalation.
Secure Your Liquidity, Protect Your Protocol
Chainscore delivers specialized penetration testing and security hardening for DEX liquidity pools, designed to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they are exploited. We focus on protecting your most valuable assets and user trust.
Smart Contract Vulnerability Assessment
Comprehensive audit of your pool's core logic (AMM math, fee mechanisms, reward distribution) and peripheral contracts (liquidity gauges, staking). Identifies reentrancy, flash loan attacks, and economic manipulation vectors.
Economic & Game Theory Analysis
Stress-test your tokenomics and incentive structures against malicious actors. We simulate wash trading, liquidity mining exploits, and governance attacks to ensure long-term pool stability and fair user rewards.
Oracle Manipulation & Price Feed Testing
Rigorously test the resilience of your DEX's price oracles. We attempt to force stale prices, exploit low-liquidity pairs, and simulate flash crash scenarios to prevent liquidation cascades and arbitrage losses.
Front-Running & MEV Exploit Prevention
Analyze transaction ordering vulnerabilities in your mempool and sequencer logic. We provide mitigation strategies, including fair ordering techniques and private transaction pools, to protect users from sandwich attacks.
Post-Deployment Monitoring & Alerting
Deploy custom on-chain monitoring agents that detect anomalous liquidity withdrawals, sudden fee spikes, and suspicious contract interactions in real-time, enabling rapid incident response.
Remediation & Hardening Guidance
Receive a prioritized, actionable report with code-level fixes, architectural recommendations, and security pattern implementations (like OpenZeppelin libraries) to permanently close identified vulnerabilities.

Our Methodology: From Reconnaissance to Remediation
Our systematic penetration testing framework is designed to identify, exploit, and document vulnerabilities in your DEX liquidity pools, providing actionable intelligence to secure your assets and user funds.
Phase 1: Reconnaissance & Scoping
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your smart contracts (AMM logic, fee structures, oracle integrations) and the surrounding ecosystem to define the attack surface. This includes analyzing governance mechanisms, admin keys, and external dependencies.
Phase 2: Threat Modeling & Exploit Simulation
Our experts simulate real-world attacks: flash loan manipulations, price oracle exploits, reentrancy on pool logic, and governance takeovers. We test edge cases for concentrated liquidity (Uniswap V3) and multi-hop arbitrage paths.
Phase 3: In-Depth Vulnerability Analysis
We perform manual code review and automated analysis using Slither, MythX, and custom tooling to identify critical flaws—from math errors in bonding curves to access control bypasses. Findings are prioritized by CVSS scores.
Phase 4: Proof-of-Concept & Impact Assessment
For every critical finding, we develop a working Proof-of-Concept exploit on a forked mainnet (using Foundry/Hardhat) to demonstrate the exact financial impact, including potential fund loss and protocol insolvency scenarios.
Phase 5: Detailed Reporting & Recommendations
You receive a comprehensive report with line-by-line code references, exploit steps, and clear, actionable remediation guidance. Our recommendations are battle-tested and include gas-optimized patches.
Phase 6: Remediation Support & Re-testing
We work directly with your engineering team to verify fixes, conduct a final security audit of the patched code, and provide a letter of attestation for your stakeholders and community.
DEX Penetration Testing FAQs
Get clear answers on our security assessment process for decentralized exchange liquidity pools, designed for CTOs and protocol leads.
We employ a hybrid methodology combining automated scanning with deep manual review. Our process includes: 1) Architecture Review of the AMM math, fee structures, and governance mechanisms. 2) Smart Contract Analysis using static analysis (Slither, MythX) and dynamic testing in forked mainnet environments. 3) Economic Attack Simulation modeling flash loan attacks, sandwich attacks, MEV exploitation, and liquidity manipulation. 4) Integration Testing for oracle dependencies, cross-chain bridges, and front-end interfaces. This approach is based on our experience securing over $500M+ in TVL across 50+ DeFi projects.
