ZK-Rollup Circuit Audit & Optimization

Security-first auditing and performance optimization for your existing ZK-rollup circuits. We identify vulnerabilities and inefficiencies to reduce proving costs, increase throughput, and ensure protocol integrity.

overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that power your core business logic. Our development process ensures security-first design, gas optimization, and compliance with standards like ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155.

  • Audited Code: Every contract undergoes rigorous review using tools like Slither and MythX, followed by a formal audit report.
  • Gas Efficiency: Optimized for cost, reducing user transaction fees by up to 40% on average.
  • Upgradeable Architecture: Built with upgrade patterns (UUPS/Transparent Proxy) for seamless future iterations without migration.

Deliver a secure, audited MVP in as little as 2 weeks, with a 99.9% uptime SLA for mainnet deployments.

Our engineers specialize in Solidity 0.8+, Vyper, and Rust for Solana, implementing proven libraries like OpenZeppelin. We handle the full lifecycle from specification and testing to deployment and verification on Etherscan.

Our Proven Audit Methodology

Our systematic approach to ZK-Rollup circuit auditing combines deep cryptographic expertise with battle-tested security practices, delivering actionable insights and verifiable security guarantees.

01

Architecture & Design Review

We conduct a foundational assessment of your ZK-SNARK/STARK architecture, including trusted setup assumptions, circuit logic, and integration with your L1 settlement layer (Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM, etc.). This identifies systemic risks before line-by-line analysis.
