Smart contract security audit

Human-led review of the paths that put protocol value at risk

A smart contract security audit is a scoped, adversarial assessment of contract code, protocol architecture, business logic, integrations, and security assumptions. The goal is to produce validated findings and a final audit report that engineering teams can use during remediation and release decisions.

Architecture, access, and trust

Researchers map privileged roles, authentication and signature paths, upgradeability and proxy behavior, trust boundaries, and the threat model behind the intended system.

Business logic and protocol accounting

The review tests reentrancy, accounting and rounding, liquidation behavior, oracle manipulation, state transitions, and DeFi-specific economic assumptions under adversarial conditions.

Cross-contract and integration risk

Researchers follow external calls, permissions, asset flows, cross-contract attack paths, and infrastructure dependencies that isolated contract checks can miss.

Engagement coverage

Built around the questions that matter

The final work is defined against the exact code, system model, and security objective supplied during scoping.

01

Smart Contract Architecture Review

We map assets, privileged roles, trust boundaries, state transitions, external dependencies, and economic assumptions to understand the protocol’s complete security model before reviewing implementation details.

02

Specialized Blockchain Security Researchers

Each security audit is staffed around the protocol’s programming language, architecture, integrations, and highest-risk components, matching the right researchers to the system in scope.

03

Adversarial Smart Contract Analysis

Researchers trace independent attack paths across contracts, integrations, permissions, accounting logic, and economic behavior to uncover vulnerabilities that isolated code analysis can miss.

04

Vulnerability Validation

Potential smart contract vulnerabilities are reproduced, validated against intended protocol behavior, and assessed for real-world impact before being included in the final security audit report.

05

Audit Remediation Support

Your engineering team works directly with our security researchers to clarify findings, understand root causes, and submit remediation changes for review.

06

Smart Contract Fix Verification

Every submitted fix is re-tested against the original vulnerability and surrounding protocol logic, with remediation status documented in the final security audit deliverable.

Build Confidence in Your Smart Contracts Before Mainnet

Every smart contract security audit is performed by researchers with proven experience and measurable security track records. Teams receive transparent evidence of the expertise behind their review, helping founders, investors, and stakeholders gain greater confidence in the protocol before deployment and onchain capital exposure.

Reduce Post-Launch Security Incidents and Protocol Risk

A thorough smart contract security audit helps uncover vulnerabilities, integration risks, and protocol-level weaknesses before deployment. Identifying and remediating these issues before mainnet can reduce the likelihood of post-launch exploits, protect user funds, and limit the operational, financial, and reputational impact of security incidents.

FAQ

Expert Security Audits FAQ

What is a smart contract security audit?

A smart contract security audit is a scoped, human-led review of contract code, protocol architecture, business logic, integrations, and security assumptions. Researchers investigate credible attack paths, validate material vulnerabilities, and document the reviewed scope and findings in a final report.

What can an Expert Security Audit cover?

The final scope can include Solidity and other smart contracts, protocol architecture, accounting, access control, state transitions, zero-knowledge components, blockchain infrastructure, and security-critical off-chain integrations when the required expertise is available.

When should we schedule the review?

Contact the team before the planned code freeze. Stable code, current tests, architecture documentation, and time for remediation make the engagement more effective.

How is the research team selected?

The team is scoped around the codebase, technology, complexity, timeline, and the specialist review areas required for the system.

How long does an audit take?

Timing depends on scope size, complexity, documentation, novelty, and researcher availability. A schedule is proposed after an initial scope review.

Do you verify fixes?

Yes. The remediation commit is reviewed against the reported issues before the final report is delivered.

Will the report be public?

Publication terms are agreed during scoping. The audit library contains reports that Kann Audits has already made public.
