Staking Derivative Security Audit | Chainscore Labs

overview

CORE SERVICE

Custom Smart Contract Development

Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 experts for your specific use case.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure, immutable backbone of your application. Our development process is built on audited patterns and gas-optimized code to ensure reliability and cost-efficiency from day one.

Full Lifecycle Development: From initial design and Solidity/Rust coding to deployment and on-chain verification.
Security-First Approach: All contracts undergo internal audits using industry-standard tools like Slither and follow OpenZeppelin best practices.
Protocol-Specific Logic: Expertise in ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, staking mechanisms, vesting schedules, and custom DeFi primitives.

We deliver contracts you can trust, reducing your time-to-audit and mitigating critical vulnerabilities before mainnet launch.

Our engineers focus on future-proof architecture, ensuring your contracts are upgradeable where needed and interoperable with the broader ecosystem. We provide comprehensive documentation and a clear handoff process, empowering your team to manage the contracts long-term.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Security Audit Methodology

Our systematic, multi-layered approach ensures your staking derivative protocol is secure, resilient, and ready for mainnet. We go beyond automated tools with expert manual review.

Architecture & Specification Review

We analyze your protocol's design, economic incentives, and threat model before a single line of code is audited. This identifies systemic risks in slashing conditions, reward distribution, and upgrade mechanisms.

Coverage

Phase 1

Process Step

Automated Analysis & Static Testing

We employ industry-standard tools (Slither, MythX) and custom fuzzers to detect common vulnerabilities (reentrancy, overflow) and gas inefficiencies across your entire codebase.

EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST

Why Choose Our Staking Derivative Audit

Our security audit is engineered for the unique complexities of staking derivatives. We don't just check for bugs; we validate the economic and operational resilience of your entire protocol.

Specialized Staking Protocol Expertise

Our auditors have deep experience with LSTs, LRTs, and restaking primitives. We understand the critical interactions between validators, slashing conditions, reward distribution, and derivative token mechanics.

EXPLORE

Comprehensive Economic & Security Review

We audit beyond code to analyze protocol economics, incentive alignment, and governance risks. Our reports include threat models for oracle manipulation, validator churn, and liquidity crises specific to staking derivatives.

EXPLORE

Formal Verification for Core Logic

For critical state transitions—like mint/burn ratios, reward accrual, and slashing penalties—we apply formal methods to mathematically prove the correctness of your core contract logic, eliminating whole classes of bugs.

EXPLORE

Actionable, Developer-Friendly Reporting

Receive a prioritized list of vulnerabilities with clear exploit scenarios, severity ratings (CVSS), and direct, actionable code fixes. Our goal is to make your protocol secure, not just generate a report.

Choose the right level of security for your protocol

METHODOLOGY

The Chainscore Audit Process

Our structured, multi-layered approach delivers actionable security insights, not just a checklist. We focus on finding the critical vulnerabilities that could impact your protocol's integrity and user funds.

1. Architecture & Specification Review

We begin by analyzing your protocol's design, economic model, and technical specifications. This foundational review identifies systemic risks in the staking, delegation, and reward distribution logic before a single line of code is examined.

48-72 hours

Initial Review

Design Coverage

2. Automated Analysis & Static Testing

Leveraging industry-leading tools like Slither, MythX, and custom fuzzers, we perform exhaustive static analysis. This phase uncovers common vulnerabilities (reentrancy, overflow) and generates an initial risk map for manual deep-dive.

10,000+

Test Cases

O(1) to O(n)

Gas Analysis

3. Manual Code Review & Exploit Simulation

Our senior auditors conduct line-by-line manual review, focusing on business logic, access control, and edge cases. We simulate complex attack vectors specific to derivative protocols, such as slashing condition manipulation or reward calculation exploits.

4. Formal Verification & Economic Modeling

For core contract functions (e.g., mint/burn ratios, fee accrual), we apply formal verification methods to mathematically prove correctness. We also model economic security under various market conditions and stress scenarios.

5. Remediation Guidance & Final Verification

We deliver a prioritized report with clear, actionable fixes and provide direct consultation with your team. After remediation, we perform a final verification audit on the updated code to ensure all issues are resolved.

Staking Derivative Audit FAQs

Get clear, specific answers about our security audit process for staking derivative protocols, from timeline and cost to methodology and post-audit support.

We employ a multi-layered, manual-first approach tailored for DeFi and staking logic. Our process includes: 1) Architecture Review of economic incentives and slashing conditions. 2) Line-by-line Manual Review by senior auditors specializing in Solidity and Vyper. 3) Automated Analysis using Slither and Foundry for invariant testing. 4) Formal Verification of critical state transitions (e.g., mint/burn/redeem). We focus on risks unique to derivatives: oracle manipulation, validator exit queues, reward distribution accuracy, and composability with underlying LSTs.
