Institutional DeFi Platform Penetration Testing

Comprehensive security audits designed for regulated DeFi platforms. We test smart contracts, compliance controls, multi-signature workflows, and custody integrations to meet institutional security and regulatory standards.

CORE SERVICES

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contract systems built for production at scale.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your core business logic—from DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces to enterprise-grade tokenization. Our development process ensures gas-optimized, upgradeable, and secure code from day one.

We deliver production-ready contracts in 2-4 weeks, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA and comprehensive audit reports.

  • Security-First Development: Built on Solidity 0.8+ using OpenZeppelin libraries and battle-tested patterns. Every contract undergoes internal and third-party audits before mainnet deployment.
  • Full-Stack Integration: We don't just write contracts. We provide end-to-end integration with your frontend, backend, and indexers (The Graph), ensuring seamless user experiences.
  • Protocol Expertise: Specialized in ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4626, and custom standards for DeFi (AMMs, lending), Gaming, and RWA tokenization.

COMPLIANCE & SECURITY

Our Institutional-Grade Testing Scope

We deliver actionable security reports that satisfy both technical due diligence and regulatory compliance requirements for institutional clients. Our methodology is based on OWASP, NIST, and financial industry standards.

01

Smart Contract & Protocol Security

Comprehensive vulnerability assessment for DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending pools, vaults) and governance contracts. We test for reentrancy, oracle manipulation, and economic logic flaws using static analysis, fuzzing, and formal verification techniques.

02

Infrastructure & Node Security

Penetration testing for RPC endpoints, validator setups, and blockchain node infrastructure. We assess configuration hardening, DDoS resilience, and privilege escalation risks to ensure 24/7 operational integrity.

Financial Logic & Economic Attack Simulation

Stress-testing protocol economics under extreme market conditions. We simulate flash loan attacks, liquidity crises, and oracle failure scenarios to quantify potential loss and validate risk parameters.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Methodology: The Chainscore Process

A systematic, four-phase approach to de-risking your DeFi platform. We deliver actionable security insights, not just a checklist.

01

Phase 1: Architecture & Threat Modeling

We map your platform's entire attack surface—from smart contracts and oracles to governance and front-end integrations. This pre-audit analysis identifies critical risk vectors before testing begins.

Phase 2: Automated & Manual Code Review

Combines industry-standard static/dynamic analysis tools with expert manual review. We scrutinize logic, access controls, and economic incentives, focusing on high-impact vulnerabilities like reentrancy and oracle manipulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our penetration testing methodology, process, and how we secure high-value DeFi platforms.

We employ a hybrid methodology combining manual expert review with automated tooling. Our process includes: 1) Architecture & Design Review (threat modeling for economic attacks), 2) Smart Contract Security Audit (focusing on logic flaws, reentrancy, oracle manipulation), 3) Frontend & API Testing (wallet drainers, phishing simulations), 4) Economic & Governance Attack Simulation (flash loan attacks, governance takeover scenarios). We align with OWASP Top 10 for Web3 and industry standards from ConsenSys Diligence and Trail of Bits.
