- End-to-End Development: From initial architecture and
ERC-20/721/1155tokenomics to complex DeFi logic and upgradeable proxy patterns. - Security-First Approach: Rigorous internal review, integration with tools like
SlitherandMythX, and preparation for third-party audits. - Gas Optimization: Write efficient code to minimize transaction costs for your users, a critical factor for adoption.
- Mainnet Deployment & Verification: We handle the full deployment lifecycle on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, or your chain of choice.
Comprehensive Attack Simulation Coverage
Our simulation framework rigorously tests your staking and delegation logic against real-world adversarial scenarios, ensuring your protocol's economic security before mainnet deployment.
Validator Slashing & Penalty Attacks
We simulate malicious validator behavior, double-signing, and inactivity leaks to validate your slashing logic and penalty enforcement mechanisms, protecting your network's integrity.
Delegation Pool Manipulation
Attack simulations targeting delegation logic, including reward skimming, front-running delegations, and exploiting unbonding periods to identify economic vulnerabilities.
Reward Distribution Exploits
Comprehensive testing of reward calculation and distribution functions for rounding errors, inflation attacks, and flash loan manipulation of reward rates.
Governance & Upgrade Attacks
Simulate attacks on contract upgrade mechanisms and governance proposals, including timelock bypasses, privilege escalation, and malicious parameter changes.
Cross-Contract Reentrancy
Advanced simulations for complex reentrancy across staking, delegation, and reward contracts—beyond standard checks—using fuzzing and stateful testing.
Economic & MEV Simulations
Stress-test your staking economics under extreme market conditions, validator churn, and MEV extraction strategies to ensure long-term protocol viability.
Business Outcomes: Protect Assets and Reputation
Our Staking and Delegation Contract Attack Simulation service delivers tangible security outcomes, transforming theoretical vulnerabilities into actionable, prioritized fixes that protect your capital and brand.
Prevent Financial Loss
Identify and remediate critical vulnerabilities like slashing condition bypasses, reward manipulation, and withdrawal exploits before they are exploited in production, directly protecting staked assets.
Maintain Protocol Uptime
Simulate governance attacks, validator churn, and network-level failures to ensure your staking operations remain resilient and avoid costly downtime or de-pegging events.
Build Investor & User Trust
Deliver a certified security report and remediation proof to demonstrate proactive risk management, a critical requirement for institutional validators and enterprise partners.
Accelerate Security Audits
Our pre-audit simulation surfaces and fixes complex logic flaws, reducing the time and cost of formal security audits by providing auditors with a hardened codebase.
Mitigate Reputational Risk
Avoid headline-making exploits that erode community confidence. Proactive security testing is a public signal of your commitment to operational integrity.
Ensure Long-Term Viability
Future-proof your staking contracts against evolving attack vectors and protocol upgrades, ensuring sustainable and secure growth as Total Value Locked (TVL) scales.
Chainscore Attack Simulation vs. Basic Code Audit
Traditional audits check for known vulnerabilities. Our attack simulation actively exploits your staking and delegation logic to uncover critical, business-logic flaws before attackers do.

Our Security Testing Methodology
We deploy a multi-layered, adversarial approach to identify and mitigate risks in your staking and delegation logic before they become exploits. Our methodology is designed to give CTOs and technical founders the confidence to launch.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Systematic analysis using Slither, MythX, and custom tooling to detect common vulnerabilities (reentrancy, integer overflows) and protocol-specific logic flaws in staking flows.
Manual Code Review & Logic Audits
Deep, line-by-line expert review focusing on economic incentives, reward distribution accuracy, slashing conditions, and delegation state management. We simulate edge cases automated tools miss.
Targeted Attack Simulation
Adversarial testing where our engineers act as malicious actors to exploit your contract's unique business logic, including flash loan attacks, governance manipulation, and validator griefing.
Formal Verification & Invariant Testing
Mathematical proof of critical contract properties (e.g., "total supply is conserved", "rewards are always claimable") using Foundry's fuzzing and symbolic execution to ensure correctness.
Gas Optimization & Economic Analysis
Analysis of function gas costs and incentive structures to ensure your staking protocol remains efficient under load and economically secure against manipulation or griefing attacks.
Remediation Guidance & Final Verification
We provide prioritized, actionable fixes with clear code examples. Follow-up verification ensures all identified vulnerabilities are resolved before mainnet deployment.
