overview
SECURE FOUNDATIONS
Smart Contract Development
Enterprise-grade smart contracts built with security-first engineering and battle-tested patterns.
- Custom Logic: Build
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke protocols like AMMs or vesting schedules. - Security First: Development follows OpenZeppelin standards, with multi-signature deployment and upgrade patterns (
TransparentProxy/UUPS). - Full Lifecycle: From specification and
Solidity 0.8+development to testing (Hardhat/Foundry) and mainnet deployment.
Reduce your time-to-audit by 50% with our pre-audited code libraries and structured documentation, accelerating your secure launch.

IMMUTABLE EVIDENCE CHAIN
Core Forensic Logging Capabilities
Our forensic logging infrastructure captures every transaction, state change, and internal call with cryptographic integrity, creating an immutable audit trail for compliance, debugging, and dispute resolution.

Business Outcomes: From Data to Decisions
Smart contract logs are raw data. Our forensic analysis transforms them into strategic intelligence, providing the clarity and evidence you need to make critical business and technical decisions with confidence.
01
Incident Root Cause Analysis
We deliver a definitive, evidence-backed report pinpointing the exact line of code, transaction sequence, and external dependency that caused a failure or exploit. This eliminates speculation, accelerates remediation, and prevents recurrence.

Compliance & Audit Trail
Generate immutable, court-admissible logs of all contract interactions. Our structured logging provides a verifiable audit trail for financial compliance (MiCA, FATF), internal governance, and investor due diligence.

Performance & Gas Optimization
Move beyond guesswork. Our analysis identifies inefficient event emissions, storage operations, and external calls driving high gas costs. We provide specific recommendations, often reducing operational gas fees by 15-40%.

Security Posture Validation
Proactively validate your security controls. We analyze live transaction logs against known attack patterns (reentrancy, oracle manipulation) to confirm mitigations are working and identify residual risks before they are exploited.

METHODICAL & TRANSPARENT
Our Forensic Instrumentation Process
A systematic, multi-layered approach to instrumenting your smart contracts for real-time visibility, security, and compliance. We don't just add logs; we engineer a comprehensive observability layer tailored to your protocol's risk profile.
01
Architecture & Threat Modeling
We map your protocol's data flows, access controls, and financial logic to identify critical instrumentation points. This threat-informed design ensures we monitor for specific vulnerabilities, not just generic events.

Non-Invasive Bytecode Instrumentation
Our tooling instruments contract bytecode post-compilation, adding forensic hooks without modifying your original Solidity source code. This eliminates deployment risks and maintains audit integrity.

Real-Time Event Streaming
Instrumented contracts emit structured events to a dedicated, chain-agnostic data pipeline. We configure alerts for anomalous patterns (e.g., flash loan spikes, admin function calls, large withdrawals).

Smart Contract Forensic Analysis FAQs
Get answers to the most common questions about our security audit and post-incident investigation process for DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and enterprise blockchain applications.
Standard analysis takes 5-10 business days from code delivery to final report. For urgent post-exploit investigations, we offer a 72-hour rapid response service. Timeline depends on codebase size, complexity, and the specific scope (e.g., full audit vs. targeted vulnerability review). We provide a firm delivery date upon scoping.
