CORE SERVICE
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts to power your protocol.
- Full Lifecycle Development: From initial architecture to deployment and maintenance on
EVMchains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. - Security-First Approach: Rigorous audits, formal verification, and gas optimization are integrated into every build.
- Deliverables: Production-ready contracts, comprehensive documentation, and deployment scripts for a 2-4 week MVP timeline.
We deliver contracts that are not just functional, but are engineered for security, efficiency, and long-term scalability.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK
Our zkVM Audit Methodology
Our structured, multi-layered approach ensures your zero-knowledge virtual machine is secure, performant, and production-ready. We deliver actionable findings, not just a report.
01
Architecture & Design Review
We analyze your zkVM's high-level architecture, cryptographic primitives (e.g., R1CS, Plonk, STARKs), and circuit design patterns for inherent flaws and scalability bottlenecks before deep testing begins.

02
Circuit Logic & Constraint Analysis
Manual and automated review of your zk-SNARK/STARK circuits for soundness, correctness of constraints, and potential vulnerabilities like under-constrained circuits or witness malleability.

ZK-SPECIFIC RISK MITIGATION
Why a Specialized zkVM Audit is Critical
General smart contract audits miss the unique cryptographic and circuit-level vulnerabilities inherent to zero-knowledge systems. Our targeted approach isolates the critical failure points in your zkVM stack.

Expert Answers
zkVM Security Review FAQs
Common questions from CTOs and technical leads about our ZK Virtual Machine security audit process, timelines, and deliverables.
We employ a multi-layered methodology tailored to zero-knowledge systems. This includes: 1) Architecture Review of the zkVM design and proof system (e.g., RISC-V, MIPS). 2) Circuit Logic Audit of the constraint system and custom gates for soundness. 3) Implementation Review of the prover/verifier code (C++, Rust, Go) for memory safety and side-channel risks. 4) Integration Testing of the full proving stack, including trusted setup assumptions and cryptographic libraries. Our process is based on standards from the ZKProof community and our experience securing over $1B+ in ZK-protected assets.
