SECURITY FIRST
Why a Specialized Staking Audit is Critical
Standard smart contract audits miss the complex, stateful logic of Substrate pallets. Our targeted review identifies the unique economic and consensus vulnerabilities that could lead to slashable offenses, validator churn, or fund loss.
01
Economic Logic & Slashing Conditions
We rigorously test reward distribution, slashing triggers, and unbonding logic to prevent validator penalties and ensure predictable yields for your network participants.

02
Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) Mechanics
Deep analysis of validator selection, nomination bonding, and era transitions to prevent centralization risks and ensure fair, decentralized consensus.

03
Runtime Upgrade Safety
Validate that your staking pallet's storage migrations and on-chain governance hooks are resilient, preventing fund lockup or state corruption during upgrades.

Substrate Staking Audit FAQs
Get clear answers on our security review process for Substrate-based staking systems, designed for CTOs and engineering leads.
We follow a four-phase security review tailored for Substrate pallets:
- Architecture Review: Analysis of pallet design, economic incentives, and integration points.
- Automated Analysis: Use of specialized Rust/Substrate static analysis tools and fuzzing.
- Manual Code Review: Line-by-line inspection of pallet logic, focusing on slashing, rewards, and nomination logic.
- Report & Remediation: Delivery of a prioritized vulnerability report with proof-of-concept exploits and guided fixes. Our team has reviewed $2B+ in staked assets across 30+ Substrate chains.
