Relayer Security Audit

Secure your gasless transaction infrastructure. Our expert audits identify critical vulnerabilities in paymaster sponsorship logic, relayer networks, and fund management systems before they impact your users.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

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

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process is built on audited code patterns and gas optimization from day one, ensuring your protocol is both secure and cost-effective to operate.

  • Full Lifecycle Development: From initial design and Solidity/Rust coding to deployment, verification, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Security-First Approach: All contracts undergo internal audits and are built with OpenZeppelin libraries, preparing them for formal third-party review.
  • Protocol Integration: Seamless compatibility with major standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155) and DeFi building blocks (oracles, AMMs, staking).

We deliver battle-tested contracts that reduce vulnerabilities and accelerate your path to a secure mainnet launch.

MULTI-LAYER SECURITY

Comprehensive Audit Coverage

Our relayer security audit delivers a systematic, in-depth review of your entire transaction processing pipeline, from user signature validation to on-chain settlement. We identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they impact your users or assets.

01

Smart Contract Integration

We audit the core relayer contracts handling gas sponsorship, nonce management, and transaction bundling. We verify adherence to standards like ERC-2771 and ERC-4337, ensuring no reentrancy or logic flaws.

Backend & API Security

Our assessment covers your off-chain infrastructure—signer servers, job queues, and RPC management. We test for injection flaws, rate limiting bypasses, and private key handling to prevent server-side exploits.

BEYOND STANDARD SMART CONTRACT REVIEWS

Why a Specialized Relayer Audit is Critical

Relayers are complex, stateful systems that bridge on-chain and off-chain logic. A generic smart contract audit misses the critical attack vectors unique to transaction ordering, fee management, and cross-chain message validation.

01

State Management & Race Conditions

We audit for nonce management flaws, transaction ordering attacks (like front-running and sandwiching within your system), and state synchronization errors between your relayer nodes and the blockchain.

Fee Logic & Economic Security

Our review validates your fee calculation, distribution, and withdrawal mechanisms to prevent theft of protocol fees, griefing attacks, and economic exploits that can drain your treasury.

03

Cross-Chain Message Validation

For cross-chain relayers, we rigorously test message encoding/decoding, signature verification, and guardian set logic to prevent spoofing and unauthorized state changes.

Node Infrastructure & Off-Chain Components

We assess the security of your off-chain indexers, RPC configurations, keeper scripts, and private key management—components ignored in a standard contract audit.

CORE INFRASTRUCTURE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built on battle-tested standards and audited code.

We architect and deploy the foundational logic for your Web3 application. Our contracts are built for security, gas efficiency, and upgradeability from day one, using industry standards like OpenZeppelin and Solmate.

  • Custom Logic: Tailored Solidity/Vyper contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and RWA.
  • Security-First: Rigorous testing with Foundry/Hardhat, formal verification, and pre-audit readiness.
  • Production Ready: Includes deployment scripts, upgrade proxies (ERC-1967), and comprehensive documentation.

We deliver auditable, maintainable code that reduces risk and accelerates your path to mainnet launch.

Relayer Security Audit FAQs

Get clear answers on our security audit process for cross-chain relayers, designed for CTOs and technical founders evaluating infrastructure partners.

We employ a hybrid methodology combining automated analysis with manual expert review. This includes: 1) Architecture Review: Assessing the relayer's trust model, upgrade mechanisms, and failure scenarios. 2) Smart Contract Audit: In-depth line-by-line review of on-chain components (e.g., Light Client, Message Verifiers) using static/dynamic analysis. 3) Off-Chain Node Audit: Security assessment of the off-chain software, including RPC handling, signing logic, and slashing conditions. 4) Integration Testing: Simulating adversarial network conditions and fork scenarios. Our process is based on industry standards from OpenZeppelin and Trail of Bits.
