Governance Audit & Security Review

Expert security and economic analysis for creator DAO governance systems. We audit smart contracts, tokenomics, and operational processes to protect your community and treasury.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts for your dApp or protocol.

We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Our process delivers fully tested, gas-optimized code that forms the secure foundation of your application.

  • Custom Logic: Build ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, and bespoke contracts for DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and more.
  • Security-First: Development follows OpenZeppelin standards and includes comprehensive unit/integration testing.
  • Full Lifecycle: From initial design and development to deployment, verification, and on-chain monitoring.

We deliver contracts that are secure by design, reducing your time-to-audit and mitigating critical risks before mainnet launch.

COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

What Our Governance Audit Covers

Our structured audit methodology examines every layer of your on-chain governance system, from smart contract logic to economic incentives, ensuring resilience and alignment.

01

Smart Contract Security

In-depth review of governance contracts (e.g., Governor Bravo, OZ Governor) for vulnerabilities, gas optimization, and upgrade safety. We identify risks like proposal front-running or vote manipulation.

Checks
OWASP Top 10
Standards
02

Economic & Incentive Analysis

Evaluation of tokenomics, voting power distribution, and proposal incentives. We model attack vectors like whale dominance or low voter turnout to ensure long-term protocol health.

03

Parameter Configuration Review

Analysis of critical governance settings—voting delay, quorum, proposal threshold—against your protocol's risk profile. We recommend optimizations to balance security with participation.

Access Control & Privileges

Audit of admin roles, timelocks, and multi-sig configurations. We ensure no single point of failure and that emergency powers are properly constrained and transparent.

Integration & Upgrade Paths

Review of how governance interacts with other protocol components (staking, treasury) and the safety of upgrade mechanisms (UUPS, Beacon Proxies) to prevent governance takeovers.

Why Founders Choose Our Governance Audits

Our security-first methodology delivers actionable insights that protect your treasury and community trust, directly reducing the risk of governance exploits and protocol failure.

01

Proactive Threat Modeling

We simulate real-world attack vectors—from flash loan manipulations to governance takeovers—before they happen. Our reports provide specific, prioritized fixes to harden your protocol against the most common and costly exploits.

Smart Contract & Off-Chain Code Review

Comprehensive analysis of your on-chain governance contracts (Solidity/Vyper) and off-chain tooling (Snapshots, Multisigs, Keepers). We identify logic flaws, gas inefficiencies, and centralization risks that automated tools miss.

Tokenomics & Incentive Security

Stress-test your economic model for vulnerabilities like vote-buying, whale dominance, and proposal spam. We ensure your token distribution and voting mechanisms align with long-term protocol health and decentralization goals.

Technical & Process Details

Governance Audit FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about our governance audit methodology, timeline, and deliverables for CTOs and technical founders.

We employ a hybrid manual and automated review process. Our 5-phase methodology includes: 1) Architecture Review of governance models (e.g., Compound-style, veToken, DAO frameworks), 2) Smart Contract Security Audit using static/dynamic analysis and manual review of core voting, proposal, and treasury logic, 3) Economic & Incentive Analysis to identify centralization risks and Sybil attack vectors, 4) Access Control & Privilege Escalation Review for admin keys and multi-sigs, and 5) Final Report & Remediation Support. We've secured over $500M+ in governance-controlled assets across 30+ protocols.
