A MULTI-LAYERED DEFENSE
Our Proactive Economic Security Framework
We move beyond basic smart contract audits to analyze the complete economic game theory of your protocol. Our framework identifies vulnerabilities in tokenomics, incentive alignment, and market dynamics before attackers can exploit them.
01
Incentive & Game Theory Analysis
We model all participant behaviors (LPs, traders, arbitrageurs) to identify profitable attack vectors like governance manipulation, liquidity drain attacks, and MEV extraction. We deliver a formal report detailing economic risks and mitigation strategies.
50+
Attack Vectors Modeled
100%
Protocol Coverage
02
Tokenomics & Supply Risk Audit
We stress-test your token distribution, vesting schedules, and emission curves. We identify centralization risks, inflationary pressures, and liquidity traps that could devalue your native asset or destabilize your protocol's economy.

Stress Scenarios
Real-Time
Simulation
03
Oracle & Pricing Attack Simulation
We simulate flash loan attacks, oracle manipulation (e.g., price feed latency, stale data), and liquidity pool imbalances. Our tests verify the resilience of your pricing mechanisms under extreme market conditions and malicious intent.

Governance & Parameter Security Review
We audit your DAO governance contracts, proposal mechanisms, and key protocol parameters (fees, slippage, rewards). We ensure no single entity can manipulate critical settings to drain treasury funds or disrupt operations.

05
Cross-Protocol Dependency Mapping
We map and analyze your protocol's integrations with external DeFi legos (lending markets, bridges, oracles). We identify systemic risks and contagion pathways that could trigger cascading failures during market-wide stress events.

TANGIBLE BUSINESS RESULTS
Outcomes: Protect TVL, Maintain Trust, Ensure Continuity
Our economic attack audits deliver more than a report; they provide actionable security and a measurable return on investment. Here’s what you can expect.
01
Safeguard User Assets
Proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities in tokenomics, incentive structures, and governance that could lead to exploits, protecting your protocol's total value locked (TVL) from manipulation and theft.

Scope & Deliverables Comparison
Economic Attack Audit vs. Standard Smart Contract Review
A standard security audit is necessary but insufficient for DeFi. Our economic attack audit provides a deeper, adversarial analysis of your protocol's financial incentives and attack vectors.

METHODICAL & TRANSPARENT
Our Four-Phase Engagement Process
A rigorous, step-by-step methodology designed to identify and mitigate economic vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. We provide clear deliverables and actionable insights at every stage.
01
Phase 1: Architecture & Design Review
We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your protocol's tokenomics, incentive mechanisms, and governance model. This foundational review identifies systemic risks in the economic design before code is audited.
Deliverable: A comprehensive threat model and risk assessment report.

Frequently Asked Questions on Economic Audits
Get clear answers on our methodology, timeline, and value for DeFi protocol economic security.
Our standard economic attack audit engagement takes 2-3 weeks from kickoff to final report. This includes a 1-week deep-dive analysis, a 1-week adversarial simulation and stress-testing phase, and a final week for report compilation and review. Complex protocols with multiple interacting mechanisms may require a 4-week timeline, which we scope during the initial assessment.
