DAO Voting Market Smart Contract Audit

Specialized security audits and formal verification for the novel economic and game-theoretic mechanisms unique to prediction markets built around governance events.
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 backbone of your dApp. Our development process is built on audited security patterns and gas-optimized code, ensuring your protocol is both secure and cost-effective to run.

  • Full Lifecycle Development: From initial design and Solidity/Rust coding to deployment on EVM/Solana/Cosmos chains.
  • Security-First Approach: All contracts undergo internal audits and are built with OpenZeppelin standards as a baseline.
  • Integration-Ready: Contracts are designed for seamless interaction with frontends, oracles, and cross-chain bridges.

Deliver a market-ready, secure protocol in 4-6 weeks, not months.

We focus on measurable outcomes: reducing gas costs by up to 40%, achieving 99.9% uptime post-launch, and providing clear documentation for your team. Our engineers are fluent in standards like ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155, as well as advanced patterns for DeFi and NFTs.

COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY REVIEW

What Our Specialized Audit Covers

Our DAO voting market audit delivers more than a checklist. We provide a deep technical analysis focused on preventing governance attacks, protecting treasury assets, and ensuring your protocol's long-term resilience.

01

Governance Logic & Vote Manipulation

We analyze proposal creation, voting power calculation, and execution logic to prevent flash loan attacks, vote buying, and other manipulation vectors that could compromise your DAO's integrity.

02

Tokenomics & Incentive Security

We audit staking, delegation, and reward distribution mechanisms for economic vulnerabilities, including inflation bugs, reward calculation errors, and incentive misalignments that could drain your treasury.

03

Access Control & Privilege Escalation

We verify all admin functions, timelocks, and multi-sig integrations to eliminate centralization risks and ensure no single point of failure can compromise the voting market or underlying assets.

04

Integration & Oracle Security

We review all external dependencies, including price oracles for token-weighted voting and cross-chain bridges for multi-chain governance, to prevent manipulation via corrupted data feeds.

05

Gas Optimization & Denial-of-Service

We identify gas inefficiencies and potential denial-of-service vectors in voting and execution flows, ensuring your market remains operational and affordable for all participants during high congestion.

Upgradeability & Future-Proofing

We audit proxy patterns, migration logic, and upgrade mechanisms to ensure safe, lossless evolution of your contracts without introducing new vulnerabilities or freezing user funds.

Why a Specialized Audit is Critical

DAO voting markets handle governance, treasury assets, and protocol control. A generic smart contract audit misses the complex economic and game-theoretic attack vectors unique to these systems.

01

Governance Logic & Attack Vectors

We audit for vote manipulation, flash loan exploits, and proposal lifecycle flaws that generic audits miss. Our experts model bribery attacks, quorum gaming, and time-based vulnerabilities specific to governance tokens and delegation.

Governance-Specific Checks

02

Treasury & Asset Safeguards

Specialized review of fund withdrawal logic, multi-sig integrations, and timelock implementations. We ensure treasury assets are protected from malicious proposals, reentrancy in reward distribution, and improper access control.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our Audit Methodology

Our systematic, multi-layered approach ensures your DAO voting market is secure, efficient, and ready for mainnet. We go beyond automated tools with expert manual review.

01

Architecture & Specification Review

We begin by analyzing your system's design and logic flow to identify architectural risks, governance attack vectors, and economic model flaws before a single line of code is examined.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers on our security review process, timeline, and guarantees for your DAO governance contracts.

We employ a three-phase, manual-first audit methodology tailored for governance protocols. This includes: 1) Architectural Review of the voting mechanism, delegation logic, and treasury interactions; 2) Line-by-Line Code Review focusing on Solidity/EVM or Solana/Sealevel vulnerabilities specific to voting (e.g., vote manipulation, flash loan attacks on governance tokens, delegation exploits); and 3) Functional Testing against our proprietary test suite for common DAO attack vectors. Every audit is led by a senior engineer with experience in securing over $2B+ in governance-controlled assets.
