AUDIT SCOPE
What Our Oracle Latency Audit Covers
Our technical audit delivers a comprehensive security and performance assessment, providing actionable insights to protect your protocol's value and ensure reliable on-chain data.
01
Oracle Integration & Update Mechanism Review
We analyze the integration of oracles (Chainlink, Pyth, API3) for correct data fetching, heartbeat intervals, and update logic to identify delays or failure points that could lead to stale pricing.

Technical Due Diligence
Oracle Security Audit FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and technical leads evaluating our specialized security audits for oracle implementations and latency protection.
Our audit follows a structured, three-phase approach. Phase 1: Architecture Review analyzes the oracle's data sourcing, update mechanisms, and integration points. Phase 2: Core Security & Latency Testing involves manual code review of critical functions (e.g., latestAnswer(), updatePrice()), automated static analysis, and simulated latency attacks to measure front-running vulnerability windows. Phase 3: Economic & Incentive Analysis examines staking, slashing, and penalty models for resilience against manipulation. We benchmark performance against Chainlink, Pyth, and other major oracles.
