Restaking Bridge Security Evaluation

Specialized security assessment of cross-chain bridges and messaging layers that facilitate restaking, focusing on asset custody and message verification risks.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our team specializes in Solidity 0.8+, Rust (Solana), and Move (Aptos/Sui), implementing battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and Sealevel.

Deploy with confidence using code that has passed multiple security audits before reaching mainnet.

Our development process delivers:

  • Custom logic for tokens (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155), DEXs, lending protocols, and DAOs.
  • Gas optimization reducing transaction costs by 15-40% versus standard implementations.
  • Comprehensive testing with 95%+ coverage using Hardhat, Foundry, or Anchor.
  • Full documentation and NatSpec comments for your team's long-term maintenance.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Bridge Security Evaluation Framework

A systematic, multi-layered assessment designed to identify critical vulnerabilities and operational risks in your cross-chain bridge infrastructure, delivering actionable insights for CTOs and security leads.

01

Smart Contract & Protocol Audit

In-depth analysis of core bridge logic, token contracts, and governance mechanisms. We identify reentrancy, logic flaws, and economic vulnerabilities using static/dynamic analysis and formal verification techniques.

100%
Code Coverage
OWASP Top 10
Compliance Checked
02

Cryptographic & Validator Security

Evaluation of signature schemes (MPC, TSS), relayers, and validator node security. We assess key management, slashing conditions, and consensus resilience against Byzantine failures.

03

Economic & Incentive Analysis

Stress-testing the bridge's economic security under attack scenarios (e.g., 51% attacks, oracle manipulation). We model TVL risks, slippage, and validator incentive misalignment.

Why a Specialized Bridge Audit is Critical for Restaking

Restaking introduces novel attack vectors and economic dependencies that generic bridge audits miss. Our evaluations are engineered specifically for the unique risks of liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) and actively validated services (AVSs).

02

LRT-Specific State Transition Logic

Generic bridges handle simple asset transfers. Restaking bridges manage dynamic, yield-bearing positions. We exhaustively test the logic for minting/burning LRTs, handling rebasing rewards, and updating validator states to prevent state corruption or fund loss.

State Sync Failures in Audited Code
04

Oracle & Price Feed Manipulation Resistance

LRT value is derived from multiple oracles (staking rewards, AVS performance, LST price). We stress-test your bridge's reliance on these feeds, identifying single points of failure and designing mitigations against oracle manipulation attacks targeting your TVL.

Oracle Redundancy Recommended
05

Withdrawal Queue & Exit Mechanism Security

The most critical—and complex—component. We simulate mass exit scenarios, validator churn, and delayed withdrawals to ensure user funds are always redeemable, queue logic is fair and non-exploitable, and the bridge remains solvent under extreme stress.

Stress Test Simulation
06

Upgrade Safety for Rapidly Evolving Standards

Restaking protocols evolve quickly. We ensure your bridge's upgrade mechanisms (proxy patterns, timelocks, multi-sig) are robust against admin key compromises and that new LRT standards or AVS integrations can be adopted without introducing vulnerabilities.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Methodology: How We Evaluate Your Bridge

Our security evaluation is a systematic, multi-layered process designed to identify critical vulnerabilities and provide actionable, prioritized remediation. We go beyond automated scans to deliver a comprehensive risk assessment for your restaking bridge.

01

Architecture & Design Review

We conduct a deep analysis of your bridge's core architecture, focusing on trust assumptions, validator set security, and cross-chain message passing logic. This identifies fundamental design flaws before code review begins.

Cryptographic & Consensus Analysis

Evaluation of signature schemes (BLS, ECDSA), slashing conditions, and validator set update mechanisms. We assess the cryptographic soundness of your bridge's underlying security guarantees.
