CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- From Concept to Mainnet: We handle the full lifecycle, from initial design and
Solidity 0.8+development to deployment and on-chain verification. - Battle-Tested Security: Every contract inherits from audited libraries like
OpenZeppelinand undergoes rigorous internal review before third-party audit. - Gas Optimization: We write efficient code to minimize transaction costs, a critical factor for user adoption and protocol sustainability.
Deliver a secure, auditable foundation for your Web3 product in as little as 2-4 weeks for an MVP.

A MULTI-LAYERED APPROACH
Our Proactive Defense Framework
We don't just react to threats; we build governance systems that are resilient by design. Our framework integrates continuous monitoring, formal verification, and community-led security to protect your DAO's treasury and decision-making processes.
01
Governance Architecture Review
Comprehensive audit of your DAO's smart contract stack, voting mechanisms, and treasury management logic to identify architectural vulnerabilities before deployment. We provide actionable recommendations based on OZ Governor patterns and real-world attack vectors.

Expert Answers for Technical Leaders
DAO Governance Security FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and founders about securing their DAO's governance layer. Based on our work with 50+ protocols securing over $500M in TVL.
We follow a structured, four-phase approach: 1) Architecture Review - Analyze governance models, voting mechanisms, and treasury controls. 2) Smart Contract Audit - Manual and automated review of proposal, voting, and execution logic (Solidity, Vyper). 3) Economic & Game Theory Analysis - Stress test incentive models and identify attack vectors like vote buying or flash loan manipulation. 4) Final Report & Remediation - Deliver a prioritized risk assessment with actionable fixes. We use tools like Slither and Foundry, combined with manual review by our team with 10+ years of combined blockchain security experience.
