COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY ASSESSMENT
What Our Audit Covers
Our Storage Slashing & Economic Security Audit is a deep technical review designed to protect your protocol's value and ensure validator incentives are correctly aligned. We identify vulnerabilities that could lead to fund loss or network instability.
01
Slashing Condition Analysis
We meticulously audit all conditions that can trigger a validator slash (e.g., double signing, downtime, storage faults). We verify the logic is correct, unavoidable, and free from edge cases that could cause unjust penalties.

Condition Coverage
O(1) Check
Gas Optimization
02
Economic Incentive Modeling
We simulate the economic security model under various network conditions and attack vectors. This ensures slashing penalties are sufficient to deter malicious behavior while not being overly punitive for honest mistakes.

03
Storage Proof Verification
We audit the cryptographic proofs and data availability checks that underpin storage-based slashing. This includes reviewing zk-SNARKs, Merkle proofs, or other commitment schemes for correctness and implementation flaws.

04
Governance & Parameter Review
We assess the safety of governance mechanisms that can update slashing parameters (e.g., penalty percentages, unbonding periods). We ensure changes cannot be exploited and include sufficient timelocks and community oversight.

Integration & Upgrade Safety
We review how the slashing module integrates with the broader consensus layer and staking contracts. We identify risks in upgrade paths, migration procedures, and cross-contract dependencies.

BEYOND STANDARD SECURITY
Why a Specialized Slashing Audit is Critical
Standard smart contract audits focus on code correctness. A slashing audit is a targeted deep-dive into your protocol's economic security, ensuring your staking, delegation, and penalty mechanisms are resilient against attacks and misconfigurations that could lead to catastrophic fund loss.
01
Prevent Catastrophic Slashing Events
We identify and remediate vulnerabilities in your penalty logic that could lead to the unintended loss of millions in staked assets, protecting your validators and the protocol's treasury.

Stress-Test Economic Incentives
Our analysis simulates adversarial conditions—from validator collusion to market crashes—to ensure your slashing and reward mechanisms remain game-theoretically sound under extreme stress.

Audit Custom Slashing Logic
Most protocols implement unique penalty rules. We provide a line-by-line review of your custom slash function, Jail mechanisms, and unbonding logic to eliminate logic errors and edge cases.

Ensure Governance & Parameter Safety
We audit the security of governance proposals that can modify slashing parameters (e.g., slash_fraction_double_sign), preventing malicious or erroneous updates that could destabilize the network.
