ZK Circuit Security Audit & Formal Verification

Deploy with confidence. Our specialized team audits and formally verifies your ZK circuits and proof systems, identifying cryptographic vulnerabilities, logic bugs, and side-channel risks before mainnet deployment.

overview
FOUNDATION

Custom Blockchain Development

Build secure, scalable, and purpose-built blockchain networks tailored to your business logic.

We architect and deploy bespoke blockchain solutions from the ground up. Whether you need a private consortium chain, a high-throughput L2, or a custom EVM-compatible network, we deliver production-ready infrastructure.

From initial design to mainnet launch, we ensure your chain meets exact performance, security, and governance requirements.

  • Core Protocol Design: Consensus (PoA, PoS), tokenomics, and governance models.
  • Smart Contract Layer: Custom Solidity/Vyper contracts for core chain logic.
  • Node Infrastructure: Managed validator sets, RPC endpoints, and block explorers.
  • Cross-Chain Bridges: Secure interoperability with Ethereum, Polygon, and other major networks.

PROVEN PROCESS

Our ZK Security Audit Methodology

Our systematic, multi-layered approach delivers mathematically rigorous security proofs and actionable findings, reducing critical vulnerabilities by 95% in client codebases.

01

Architecture & Specification Review

We begin by analyzing your circuit's high-level design and formal specifications against your intended security properties. This ensures the system is built on a sound foundation before line-by-line review.

02

Automated Formal Verification

We employ industry-leading tools like Circomspect and custom SMT solvers to mathematically prove the absence of entire vulnerability classes, including under-constrained circuits and soundness errors.

THE CHAINSCORE ADVANTAGE

Why a Specialized ZK Audit is Critical

Zero-Knowledge circuits are not just smart contracts. They are complex cryptographic programs where a single logical flaw can compromise privacy, drain funds, or break the entire system. Our formal verification and manual review process is engineered specifically for this domain.

02

Circuit Logic & Constraint Analysis

Manual line-by-line review of your Circom, Noir, or Halo2 code to identify logic errors, under-constrained signals, and arithmetic overflows that automated tools miss.

03

Trusted Setup Ceremony Review

We audit the integrity of your Powers of Tau ceremony or other trusted setup implementations, a critical and often overlooked attack vector in ZK systems.

04

Gas & Performance Optimization

Identify and remediate circuit inefficiencies that lead to excessive proving times and on-chain verification costs, directly impacting user experience and operational expense.

05

Integration & Adversarial Testing

We test the full integration of your ZK proofs with on-chain verifiers and front-end applications, simulating adversarial conditions to ensure end-to-end system integrity.

06

Formal Verification Reports

Receive a comprehensive, actionable report with CVSS-scored vulnerabilities, proof-of-concept exploits, and prioritized remediation guidance, not just a list of findings.
