The Engagement

Smart Contract Security Review

Code. Architecture. Deployment. Operations. One engagement, nothing falls through the cracks.

What We Review

Code

Line-by-line manual review of every function, every state change, every assumption.

  • Manual Code Review

    Every function, every state change, every assumption challenged. No automated tools as a substitute for human analysis.

  • Architecture Analysis

    System design review, trust boundary mapping, and upgrade path security. How components interact matters as much as how they're built.

  • Deployment Verification

    Deploy scripts, constructor args, ownership transfers. Nothing slips between audit and mainnet.

  • Real-Time Findings

    Private repo with continuous updates. You see issues as I find them, not weeks later in a PDF.

  • Fix Verification

    Every fix reviewed. No regressions. No new bugs introduced while patching old ones.

Why Manual Review Matters

Automated tools catch the low-hanging fruit. But the bugs that drain protocols are logic errors, economic exploits, and edge cases that only surface when a human understands what the code is supposed to do.

Every function is read with context: what it does, what it assumes, and what happens when those assumptions break.

What We Review

Operations

Our audits don't stop at the code — because 60% of DeFi exploits happen outside the smart contract.

  • Access Control & Role Configuration

    Who can call what, who holds the keys, and what happens if a key is compromised. Role hierarchies, privilege escalation paths, and admin function exposure.

  • Upgrade Mechanism Safety

    Proxy patterns, timelocks, admin functions. We verify your upgrade path can't become an attack vector — whether it's UUPS, transparent proxy, or diamond.

  • Deployment & Key Management

    Deploy scripts, constructor args, multisig configs, key rotation procedures. The gap between "audited code" and "deployed code" is where exploits hide.

  • Incident Response Guidance

    Pause mechanisms, emergency procedures, and what to do in the first 60 minutes of an exploit. Because having a plan before you need one is the difference between containment and catastrophe.

Beyond the Code

Most audits end at the Solidity. But protocols don't get exploited in a vacuum — they get exploited through compromised keys, misconfigured roles, unsafe upgrades, and teams that freeze when something goes wrong.

Every engagement includes operational review because shipping secure code with insecure operations is like installing a vault door on a tent.

The Process

How It Works

01

Scope Locked

Scope is locked by commit hash before work begins. No ambiguity about what's being reviewed.

02

Fixed Price

Fixed price quoted upfront after reviewing the repo. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

03

Timeline Agreed

Timeline agreed before the first line of code is read. You know exactly when to expect the final report.

04

Final Report

Every finding documented with severity, impact, proof of concept, and recommendation. No filler.
