Stablecoin Smart Contract Penetration Testing

Targeted security assessments for stablecoin protocols, focusing on adversarial testing of core economic mechanisms, collateral verification, and peg maintenance logic.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications.

We architect and deploy battle-tested Solidity and Rust smart contracts with a focus on security and gas optimization. Every contract undergoes rigorous unit testing, formal verification, and third-party audits before mainnet deployment.

  • Custom DeFi Protocols: DEXs, lending/borrowing platforms, yield aggregators, and liquidity management systems.
  • NFT & Token Standards: ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom implementations with advanced minting logic.
  • Enterprise Integration: Cross-chain bridges, oracle integrations, and custom business logic for institutional use cases.
  • Security-First Development: Adherence to OpenZeppelin standards and comprehensive audit trails.

Deliver a secure, audited, and fully documented smart contract system in 4-6 weeks, from specification to mainnet readiness.

COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY ASSESSMENT

Our Penetration Testing Focus Areas

Our targeted assessments go beyond automated scanners, combining manual expert review with advanced tooling to identify critical vulnerabilities before they become exploits.

01

Core Protocol & Business Logic

In-depth manual review of minting, burning, redemption, and fee mechanisms to prevent logical flaws, economic attacks, and governance exploits that could destabilize your asset.

02

Oracle & Price Feed Security

Stress-testing price feed integrations and dependency chains to prevent flash loan attacks, oracle manipulation, and stale data exploits that could trigger incorrect liquidations or minting.

Why a standard audit is not enough for stablecoins

Standard Audit vs. Chainscore Penetration Testing

Traditional smart contract audits focus on static analysis and manual review. Our penetration testing simulates real-world attacks to find vulnerabilities that standard audits miss, providing the level of security required for financial-grade stablecoins.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Security Assessment Methodology

Our systematic approach to stablecoin security combines automated analysis with deep manual review, ensuring no vulnerability goes undetected. We deliver actionable reports that empower your team to secure your protocol before launch.

01

Architecture & Design Review

We analyze your stablecoin's economic model, access controls, and upgrade mechanisms against industry standards like ERC-20, ERC-4626, and ERC-1404 to identify systemic risks before code is written.
