COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE
Our Governance Security Audit Scope
We conduct a systematic, multi-layered review of your L2 governance system, identifying vulnerabilities that could lead to protocol capture, fund loss, or censorship. Our audits deliver actionable security insights, not just a checklist.

THE COST OF REACTIVE SECURITY
Why Proactive Governance Security is Non-Negotiable
Governance attacks are not theoretical. They are high-impact, high-probability events that can drain treasuries, freeze protocols, and destroy user trust overnight. Our analysis moves you from reactive patching to proactive defense.
01
Prevent Multi-Signature Exploits
We audit your multi-sig setup and governance executor contracts against known attack vectors like privilege escalation, signature replay, and proposal injection. Identifies vulnerabilities before malicious actors do.

Secure Treasury & Proposal Execution
Analyze the entire proposal lifecycle—from creation to execution—for logic flaws that could allow malicious proposals to pass or funds to be siphoned. Ensures treasury actions are intentional and safe.

CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
We architect and deploy custom smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our engineers specialize in Solidity, Rust (Solana), and Move (Aptos/Sui) to deliver gas-optimized, auditable code.
Reduce your time-to-market with battle-tested development patterns and comprehensive security reviews.
- Security-First Development: All contracts undergo internal audits using
SlitherandMythXbefore deployment. - Full-Stack Integration: We deliver contracts with frontend SDKs and backend listeners for seamless integration.
- Proven Track Record: Deployed over 200+ contracts across EVM, Solana, and other L1/L2 networks.
L2 Governance Attack Surface Analysis
Build vs. Buy: In-House vs. Specialized Audit
A direct comparison of the costs, risks, and outcomes of building an internal security team versus partnering with a specialized audit firm for L2 governance security.
| Security Factor | Build In-House Team | Partner with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to First Audit | 3-6 months (recruit & train) | 2-4 weeks (project kickoff) |
Initial Security Coverage | Limited to team expertise | Comprehensive (smart contracts, governance, economic) |
Audit Quality & Depth | Variable (learning curve) | Guaranteed (100+ audits delivered) |
Cost (First Year) | $250K-$500K+ (salaries, tools) | $50K-$150K (fixed project scope) |
Ongoing Maintenance | Full-time team overhead | Optional retainer for updates & monitoring |
Access to Latest Threats | Reactive (public disclosures) | Proactive (insights from 50+ L2 audits) |
Risk of Critical Vulnerability | High (untested patterns) | Low (formal verification & fuzzing) |
Final Deliverable | Internal report | Certified audit report + verifiable fixes |

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our methodology, timeline, and deliverables for securing your Layer 2 protocol's governance.
Our analysis is a comprehensive audit of your governance stack. We deliver a detailed report covering: On-chain smart contracts (governor, timelock, token, staking), off-chain components (snapshot strategies, multi-sig configurations), and process vulnerabilities (proposal lifecycle, upgrade paths). Each finding includes a severity rating (Critical/High/Medium/Low), exploit scenario, and a concrete remediation plan. You receive executive and technical summaries, plus a 1-hour review call with our lead security engineers.
