Staking Contract Upgrade Simulation & Testing

We replicate your exact mainnet state on a local fork using Foundry or Hardhat, executing the upgrade against real historical data to validate logic under true conditions.

We define and test critical system invariants (e.g., "total stake never decreases") using tools like Certora and Foundry's invariant testing, providing mathematical proof of contract correctness.

We benchmark every upgrade function against baseline metrics, identifying and optimizing gas inefficiencies to keep user transaction costs predictable and competitive.

We deploy the upgraded contracts to a public testnet and conduct structured attack simulations, including front-running, griefing, and economic exploits, to stress-test live interactions.

We simulate the entire upgrade governance flow—proposal, timelock, and execution—including emergency rollback procedures, ensuring operational readiness and failure safety.

Comprehensive simulation of attack vectors (reentrancy, flash loan exploits, governance attacks) before mainnet deployment, ensuring your staking logic remains uncompromised.

Validate reward distribution, slashing conditions, and validator set changes under load to prevent downtime or incorrect payouts that erode user confidence.

Stress-test economic models and fee mechanisms to safeguard against depeg events, liquidity drains, and unintended inflation that can devalue your native token.

Audit trail and verification of upgrade logic for sanctions screening, fund source validation, and other compliance requirements critical for institutional adoption.

Deliver clear, verifiable test reports and risk assessments to your DAO or board, building consensus and trust for faster, safer upgrade execution.

Design upgrades with modularity and forward compatibility, ensuring easy integration with new L2s, oracles, and DeFi primitives without costly re-audits.
