Paymaster Smart Contract Security Audit

Specialized security audits and formal verification for paymaster contracts and sponsorship logic. We focus on economic security, replay attacks, and fund management vulnerabilities to protect your users and treasury.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that are secure, gas-optimized, and ready for mainnet. Our engineers specialize in Solidity, Rust (Solana), and Vyper to deliver contracts for tokens (ERC-20, ERC-721), DeFi protocols, DAOs, and NFT projects.

Every contract undergoes a rigorous security process, including internal audits and integration with tools like Slither and MythX, before we recommend third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.

  • Full Development Lifecycle: From specification and architecture to deployment, verification, and post-launch monitoring.
  • Security-First Approach: Adherence to OpenZeppelin standards and best practices to mitigate reentrancy, overflow, and logic flaws.
  • Gas Optimization: We analyze and refine code to reduce transaction costs by 15-40%, critical for user adoption.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Unit, integration, and scenario testing using Hardhat or Foundry to ensure reliability.

COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY REVIEW

What Our Paymaster Audit Covers

Our audit methodology is designed for the unique complexities of paymaster smart contracts, focusing on the critical logic that manages gas sponsorship and user operations. We deliver actionable findings to secure your infrastructure and user funds.

01

Gas Abstraction Logic

We meticulously audit the core logic for sponsoring transaction fees, including validation of user operations, gas price calculations, and refund mechanisms to prevent economic attacks and ensure protocol solvency.

EntryPoint Integration

In-depth review of your contract's interaction with the ERC-4337 EntryPoint, ensuring correct handling of validatePaymasterUserOp, postOp, and proper signature verification to prevent replay and front-running attacks.

Upgradeability & Proxy Patterns

If applicable, we audit the implementation of upgradeable proxies (UUPS/Transparent), checking for storage collisions, initialization vulnerabilities, and secure upgrade paths to maintain contract integrity.

BEYOND STANDARD SECURITY

Why a Specialized Paymaster Audit is Critical

Generic smart contract audits miss the unique risks of paymaster systems. Our specialized audit focuses on the financial logic, gas abstraction, and user experience vulnerabilities that can lead to catastrophic losses.

02

Sponsorship Policy & Access Control

We verify that only authorized users and operations can be sponsored. Missing checks can turn your paymaster into a free gas faucet for malicious actors. We enforce strict whitelists, rate limits, and spending caps.

03

Token Payment & Refund Vulnerabilities

For pay-for-gas tokens, we audit price oracles, exchange rate logic, and refund mechanisms. Flaws here can lead to incorrect token deductions, arbitrage losses, or failed transactions that erode user trust.

04

Integration with EntryPoint & Bundlers

We test the full interaction flow with ERC-4337's EntryPoint and bundlers. Misalignment can cause transactions to revert, user ops to be dropped, or sponsorship to fail silently, breaking your core user experience.

05

Economic Model & Sustainability

We analyze your fee structure, subsidy model, and replenishment logic. An unsustainable model can deplete funds, while incorrect calculations can make your service unprofitable or vulnerable to economic attacks.

06

Upgradeability & Admin Key Risks

We review upgrade mechanisms and admin privileges specific to paymaster contracts. A compromised admin key or flawed upgrade can lead to total fund loss. We recommend and audit secure, timelocked governance patterns.
