Governance Attack Simulation & Testing

Comprehensive adversarial testing to identify and mitigate critical vulnerabilities in your DAO's governance system before deployment. We simulate real-world attack vectors to ensure institutional-grade resilience.

CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists for your protocol or application.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts that form the secure foundation of your Web3 product. Our development process is built on Solidity 0.8+ standards and OpenZeppelin libraries, ensuring security and gas efficiency from day one.

From a single token to a complex DeFi protocol, we deliver battle-tested code that scales.

  • Token Standards: Custom ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 implementations with advanced features like minting, burning, and governance hooks.
  • DeFi & dApps: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), staking pools, vesting schedules, and multi-signature wallets.
  • Security-First Process: Every contract undergoes internal review and is structured for seamless third-party audits by firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
  • Full Lifecycle Support: Development, testing on Hardhat/Foundry, deployment to mainnet, and ongoing maintenance.

Our 4-Phase Engagement Process

We deliver structured, predictable results for your governance security. Our proven process, refined across 50+ DAOs and DeFi protocols, ensures comprehensive coverage and actionable remediation.

01

Phase 1: Governance Architecture Review

We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your on-chain governance system, including timelocks, multi-sigs, proposal logic, and voter delegation mechanisms. This phase identifies foundational vulnerabilities before active testing begins.

Governance Testing FAQs

Common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating our governance security testing services.

A comprehensive governance attack simulation and audit typically takes 2-3 weeks from kickoff to final report. This includes 1 week for initial setup and threat modeling, 1-2 weeks for active simulation and penetration testing, and 2-3 days for report compilation and debrief. For complex DAOs or protocols with custom governance modules, timelines may extend to 4 weeks.
