Institutional DAO Security Attack Simulation

Proactive, custom attack simulation and stress testing for enterprise and institutional DAOs. We identify and quantify risks in compliance vectors, multi-sig setups, and governance mechanisms before they lead to exploits.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the foundation of your protocol. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries and comprehensive audit workflows to mitigate risk from day one.

  • Full-Stack Development: From ERC-20 tokens and ERC-721 NFTs to complex DeFi logic and DAO governance systems.
  • Rapid MVP Delivery: Go from concept to testnet in 2-4 weeks with our streamlined development sprints.
  • Gas Optimization: Every contract is engineered for minimum execution cost and maximum user efficiency.

We don't just write code; we deliver audit-ready, mainnet-deployable contracts that power your core business logic with precision and reliability.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Attack Simulation Methodology

We don't just audit code; we simulate real-world attacks to expose systemic vulnerabilities in your DAO's governance, treasury, and operational layers. Our methodology is trusted by institutions managing over $1B+ in on-chain assets.

01

Governance Attack Simulation

We simulate malicious proposals, voting manipulation, and delegate attacks to test the resilience of your Snapshot, Governor Bravo, or custom governance system. Identifies risks like proposal spam, flash loan voting, and quorum manipulation.

Treasury & Multisig Penetration

Red team exercises targeting your Gnosis Safe, DAO treasury management, and fund flow logic. We test for signature replay, social engineering of signers, and flawed withdrawal conditions to prevent catastrophic fund loss.

Smart Contract Exploit Chaining

Goes beyond single-contract audits by simulating complex, multi-step attacks that chain vulnerabilities across your protocol suite. Models real adversary behavior to find critical paths leading to exploit.

Quantitative Risk Scoring

Every finding is tagged with a CVSS-based score and a clear financial impact assessment (Low/Medium/High/Critical). Provides executive and technical teams with prioritized, actionable remediation roadmaps.

Remediation Validation & Retesting

We don't just report issues. After your team implements fixes, we conduct focused retesting to validate that vulnerabilities are fully resolved and no new attack surfaces were introduced.

Tangible Security & Compliance Outcomes

Our Institutional DAO Security Attack Simulation service provides concrete, actionable results that directly strengthen your governance and operational resilience. We move beyond theoretical assessments to deliver verified improvements.

Proactive vs. Reactive Security

Attack Simulation vs. Traditional Security Audit

Traditional audits provide a static snapshot of code quality. Our Institutional DAO Attack Simulation is a dynamic, adversarial assessment that mimics real-world exploits to uncover systemic governance and operational risks.

METHODOLOGY

Our 4-Phase Engagement Process

A structured, intelligence-driven approach to hardening your DAO's governance and treasury security. We move from reconnaissance to remediation, delivering actionable findings and validated fixes.

01

Phase 1: Threat Modeling & Reconnaissance

We map your DAO's entire attack surface, including governance contracts, treasury vaults, and member roles. This phase identifies critical vulnerabilities before testing begins.

Phase 2: Controlled Attack Simulation

Our certified white-hats execute realistic exploits in a forked mainnet environment. We simulate governance takeovers, flash loan attacks, and proposal manipulation to test your live defenses.

Phase 3: Impact Analysis & Reporting

We quantify the financial and operational impact of each discovered vulnerability. You receive a prioritized report with CVSS scores, proof-of-concept code, and clear remediation steps.

Institutional DAO Security: Key Questions

Critical questions our enterprise clients ask before engaging for a DAO security assessment and attack simulation.

We follow a structured, four-phase approach: 1) Architecture Review (governance contracts, treasury management, access controls), 2) Threat Modeling (identifying attack vectors like proposal hijacking, flash loan manipulation), 3) Live Simulation (executing realistic attacks on a forked mainnet environment), and 4) Remediation Roadmap (prioritized fixes with code-level guidance). This is based on our work securing over $500M+ in DAO-managed assets.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your core business logic, from tokenomics to automated workflows. Our development process is built on security-first principles and battle-tested patterns.

  • Full-Stack Development: End-to-end builds for ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and custom standards.
  • Security & Audits: Code written with OpenZeppelin libraries and vetted through internal audits before third-party review.
  • Gas Optimization: Contracts engineered for minimum execution cost and maximum efficiency on mainnet.
  • Upgradeability: Future-proof architecture using transparent proxies (UUPS) for seamless updates.

Deploy a secure, audited MVP in as little as 2-3 weeks, not months. We handle the complexity so you can focus on product-market fit.
