Upgradeable Contract Safety Inspector

An AI-driven security audit service focused exclusively on the critical risks of upgradeable smart contracts: proxy patterns, initialization, storage collisions, and governance to prevent hijacking and ensure safe migrations.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy audited smart contracts on EVM and Solana that power your core business logic. Our process delivers gas-optimized code and a comprehensive audit report before mainnet launch.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, DeFi primitives, and governance systems.
  • Security-First: Development with OpenZeppelin standards, formal verification, and multi-stage testing.
  • Deployment Ready: Full suite including verification, deployment scripts, and frontend integration packages.

Reduce your time-to-market from months to weeks with our battle-tested development framework and security protocols.

COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY AUDIT

What Our AI-Driven Inspector Analyzes

Our proprietary AI engine performs a multi-layered analysis of your upgradeable smart contract system, identifying vulnerabilities that traditional tools miss. We deliver actionable reports focused on protecting your assets and users.

CRITICAL DIFFERENTIATORS

Why a Specialized Audit for Upgradeable Contracts

Standard audits miss the unique attack vectors and architectural complexities of upgradeable systems. Our specialized inspection targets the specific risks that can lead to catastrophic data loss, governance exploits, or permanent contract bricking.

01

Storage Layout & Initialization Risks

We meticulously verify storage collision safety and constructor/disguised-constructor patterns to prevent irreversible data corruption during upgrades. This ensures your protocol's state remains intact and accessible.

Governance & Upgrade Path Security

Our audit validates the entire upgrade governance flow—from proposal to execution—identifying centralization risks, timelock bypasses, and logic inconsistencies that could allow unauthorized or malicious upgrades.

Post-Upgrade Functionality & State Validation

Beyond the upgrade mechanics, we simulate post-upgrade states to verify all existing and new functions operate correctly, preventing broken integrations, locked funds, or unintended behavior post-migration.

Why a Focused Approach Matters

Specialized Upgradeability Audit vs. Generic Security Review

Generic security tools miss the unique risks of upgradeable contracts. Our specialized inspector provides targeted analysis for proxy patterns, storage collisions, and governance vulnerabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers about our security audit process, timelines, and deliverables for your upgradeable smart contracts.

Our audit provides a comprehensive security review of your upgradeable smart contract system. This includes the proxy pattern (e.g., Transparent, UUPS), implementation logic, initialization functions, storage layout compatibility, and the upgrade mechanism itself. We analyze for critical vulnerabilities like storage collisions, function selector clashes, improper access control on upgrade functions, and reentrancy risks specific to upgrade flows. Each audit includes a detailed report with risk severity ratings and actionable remediation steps.
