EVM Smart Contract Penetration Testing
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists to power your protocol.
From concept to mainnet, we deliver contracts that are secure, scalable, and ready for high-value transactions.
- End-to-End Development: Full lifecycle from technical design to deployment on
EVM/Solana/Cosmos. - Security Guarantee: Built with
OpenZeppelinstandards and subjected to third-party audits before launch. - Gas Optimization: Contracts engineered for minimum execution cost, saving users thousands in fees.
- Real-World Results: Deployed contracts handling $500M+ in TVL with 99.9% uptime.
Our Adversarial Testing Methodology
Our systematic, multi-layered approach simulates real-world attacks to uncover critical vulnerabilities before they are exploited. We go beyond automated scanners with manual, adversarial thinking.
Comprehensive Threat Modeling
We begin by mapping your contract's attack surface, identifying privileged roles, value flows, and external dependencies to prioritize testing on the highest-risk areas.
Manual Code Review & Logic Flaws
Senior auditors perform line-by-line analysis of business logic, access controls, and financial math to find flaws automated tools miss, like reentrancy or improper state handling.
Dynamic Fuzzing & Invariant Testing
We deploy custom fuzzers and property-based tests (using Foundry/Chaos) to bombard your contracts with random inputs, breaking invariants and uncovering edge-case failures.
Simulated Attack Vectors
Our testers act as malicious actors, attempting front-running, oracle manipulation, flash loan attacks, and governance exploits specific to your protocol's design.
Formal Verification (Optional)
For critical financial logic, we apply mathematical proofs to verify that contract behavior matches its specification, guaranteeing the absence of whole classes of bugs.
Prioritized Remediation Report
Receive a clear, actionable report with CVSS-scored vulnerabilities, proof-of-concept exploits, and direct code fixes. We provide guidance until all critical issues are resolved.
Why Manual Penetration Testing is Critical
Automated tools can only find known vulnerabilities. Our expert-led manual testing uncovers the logic flaws, economic exploits, and architectural weaknesses that automated scanners miss, securing your protocol's core value.
Uncover Complex Logic Flaws
Our security engineers manually trace execution paths to find reentrancy, access control bypasses, and business logic errors that static analysis cannot detect.
Simulate Sophisticated Adversaries
We employ advanced techniques like flash loan attack simulations, oracle manipulation, and MEV extraction to test your contract's resilience under real-world economic pressure.
Validate Economic Security
Manual review ensures tokenomics, fee structures, and incentive mechanisms are sound, preventing exploits that could drain treasury funds or destabilize your protocol.
Ensure Integration Security
We test the entire interaction surface—including cross-contract calls, bridge integrations, and oracle dependencies—to prevent vulnerabilities at the system level.
Automated Scan vs. Manual Penetration Test
While automated tools provide a valuable first pass, manual expert analysis is critical for uncovering complex logic flaws and business logic vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss. This table compares the scope and depth of each approach.
| Security Assessment Factor | Automated Vulnerability Scan | Manual Penetration Test |
|---|---|---|
Detection Method | Pre-defined rule sets & heuristics | Expert-led, hypothesis-driven investigation |
Vulnerability Coverage | Common known issues (e.g., reentrancy, overflow) | Complex logic flaws, business logic, architectural risks |
False Positive Rate | High (requires manual triage) | Low (findings are validated and exploitable) |
Audit Report Depth | Generic vulnerability list with severity scores | Contextual analysis, attack scenarios, proof-of-concept exploits |
Time to Complete | Minutes to hours | 1-4 weeks (project-dependent) |
Cost Range | $0 - $2K (tool/license cost) | $15K - $100K+ (expertise-driven) |
Best For | Early-stage code checks, CI/CD integration | Pre-launch audits, high-value protocols, regulatory compliance |
Deliverable | Scan report PDF | Comprehensive audit report, remediation guidance, re-audit support |
Our Penetration Testing Engagement Process
Our battle-tested methodology, refined over 100+ audits, ensures a thorough, transparent, and actionable assessment of your EVM smart contracts. We deliver a clear roadmap from vulnerability identification to resolution.
1. Scoping & Kickoff
We define the audit scope, review architecture, and establish communication protocols. This ensures we focus on your critical attack vectors and business logic from day one.
2. Automated & Manual Analysis
Leverage industry-standard tools (Slither, Foundry) for broad coverage, followed by deep manual review by our certified auditors to uncover complex logic flaws and economic vulnerabilities.
3. Exploitation & Proof-of-Concept
We don't just identify issues—we demonstrate their impact. Receive reproducible PoC exploits for critical/high findings to validate severity and understand the exact attack path.
4. Reporting & Risk Prioritization
Get a clear, actionable report with CVSS-based severity scores, detailed remediation guidance, and executive summaries for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
5. Remediation Support & Re-audit
We work directly with your team to clarify findings and verify fixes. A final re-audit of critical patches ensures vulnerabilities are fully resolved before deployment.
6. Final Certification & Disclosure
Upon successful remediation, receive a final attestation report and optional public audit summary to build trust with your users and the broader Web3 community.
