Your Innovation is Only as Strong as Its Weakest Link

In the Web3 space, a single security oversight can lead to catastrophic losses, eroding user trust and jeopardizing your entire project. Standard security audits are essential, but they're not enough. They examine your code in isolation. We test your entire, live ecosystem against the sophisticated, multi-pronged attacks it will face in the wild. We don't just check for bugs; we simulate a full-scale assault to uncover systemic vulnerabilities before malicious actors do.

Our Comprehensive Penetration Testing Services

We offer a full suite of security testing services tailored to the unique challenges of decentralized applications and blockchain networks.

Smart Contract Penetration Testing

We go beyond static analysis to dynamically test your smart contracts for common and novel vulnerabilities. Our goal is to ensure your on-chain logic is immutable, tamper-proof, and free from exploitable flaws that could lead to fund drainage or unauthorized state changes.

  • Identify re-entrancy, integer overflow/underflow, and unchecked external calls.
  • Test for business logic flaws and economic exploits unique to your protocol.
  • Provide gas optimization analysis and best practice recommendations.

Wallet & Key Management Security

The most secure blockchain is useless if user wallets are compromised. We test your wallet applications (web, mobile, browser extension) and key management systems to ensure private keys remain private and user funds are protected from client-side attacks.

  • Assess secure storage, key generation, and transaction signing processes.
  • Test for vulnerabilities like phishing, injection, and insecure data handling.
  • Review seed phrase recovery mechanisms and multi-signature implementations.

Full dApp Security Assessment

We evaluate your entire decentralized application, including front-end interfaces, back-end services, and their interactions with the blockchain. This holistic view uncovers vulnerabilities that arise from the complex interplay between on-chain and off-chain components.

  • Analyze front-end for vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) that can trick users.
  • Test API security and access controls for off-chain services.
  • Ensure data integrity and privacy between the user interface and smart contracts.

Oracle & Off-Chain Data Integration Testing

If your dApp relies on external data, the oracle is a critical point of failure. We simulate attacks on your oracle mechanism to test its resilience against manipulation, ensuring the data feeding your smart contracts is reliable and secure.

  • Test for data source spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Assess the security of oracle node operators and data aggregation logic.
  • Evaluate fallback mechanisms in case of oracle failure or corruption.

Blockchain Network & Node Infrastructure Testing

For private or consortium chains, the security of the underlying network is paramount. We test your node configurations, peer-to-peer communication, and overall network topology to protect against denial-of-service, eclipse attacks, and other network-level threats.

  • Perform vulnerability scanning and hardening of validator and full nodes.
  • Test P2P message propagation and transaction pool security.
  • Assess defenses against Sybil attacks and network partitioning.

Consensus Mechanism Security Analysis

The heart of any blockchain is its consensus algorithm. We analyze your specific implementation (PoW, PoS, PBFT, etc.) for theoretical and practical weaknesses that could be exploited to compromise the integrity of the ledger.

  • Evaluate resistance to long-range attacks and nothing-at-stake problems.
  • Assess validator/miner collusion risks and incentive structures.
  • Review the security of staking, slashing, and governance mechanisms.

51% & Economic Attack Simulation

We model and simulate sophisticated economic attacks, including 51% attacks (for PoW chains) and governance takeovers. This helps you understand the real-world cost and feasibility of such attacks, allowing you to implement effective economic and technical deterrents.

  • Calculate the theoretical cost of attack and identify potential weak points.
  • Test the network's response to chain reorganizations and forks.
  • Assess the security of governance protocols against hostile token accumulation.

Threat Modeling & Security Architecture Review

Before a single line of code is tested, we help you build security in from the start. Our experts work with your team to identify potential threats, design secure architecture, and create a robust security roadmap for your entire project lifecycle.

  • Develop a comprehensive threat model using frameworks like STRIDE.
  • Review architectural designs for single points of failure and security flaws.
  • Provide strategic guidance on building a resilient and defensible Web3 platform.

Our Penetration Testing Methodology

Our structured, multi-phase approach ensures comprehensive coverage and delivers actionable insights, moving from broad reconnaissance to targeted exploitation and detailed reporting.

1. Scoping & Reconnaissance

We collaborate with you to define the scope, objectives, and rules of engagement. Our team then gathers intelligence on your architecture, technology stack, and potential attack surfaces.

2. Threat Modeling & Vulnerability Analysis

We map out potential threats and identify likely vulnerabilities using a combination of automated scanning, source code review (if available), and manual analysis of your system's logic and architecture.

3. Controlled Exploitation

This is where our ethical hackers attempt to exploit the identified vulnerabilities in a safe, controlled environment. We prove the real-world risk without causing disruption to your operations.

4. Reporting & Remediation

We deliver a detailed report classifying vulnerabilities by severity, outlining the steps to reproduce them, and providing clear, actionable guidance for your development team to patch the issues.

5. Re-testing & Verification

After your team has implemented the fixes, we perform re-testing to verify that the vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated and that the patches have not introduced new security flaws.

Technologies & Tools We Master

Our expertise spans the full spectrum of the Web3 ecosystem, from core blockchain protocols to the tools used for development and security analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

A smart contract audit is a static analysis of your code, focusing on finding bugs and vulnerabilities within the contract itself. Penetration testing is a dynamic, holistic assessment. We simulate real-world attacks on your entire live or staging ecosystem—including your dApp front-end, APIs, nodes, and user interactions—to find vulnerabilities that only emerge when all components work together. An audit checks the blueprint; a pen test tries to break into the finished building.

The duration depends on the complexity and scope of your project. A focused smart contract test might take 1-2 weeks. A full-stack dApp and network assessment could range from 3 to 6 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial scoping call.

For safety and to avoid disruption, the majority of our aggressive testing is performed on a testnet or a dedicated staging environment that is an exact replica of your production setup. We can perform limited, non-disruptive testing on the mainnet, but any potentially service-impacting tests are strictly confined to non-production environments.

You will receive a comprehensive final report that includes an executive summary of the business risks, detailed technical findings for each vulnerability (including severity rating, impact, and steps to reproduce), and clear, actionable recommendations for remediation. We also provide a debriefing call with your technical team to walk through the findings and answer any questions.

While our primary role is to identify and report vulnerabilities, we provide detailed guidance and best-practice examples to assist your development team in patching the issues effectively. For clients who need hands-on development support, we can scope a separate engagement with our expert blockchain development team to implement the fixes.

The cost is based on the scope and complexity of the engagement. Factors include the number of smart contracts, the size of the codebase, and the components included in the test (dApp, network, APIs, etc.). We provide a custom quote after a free, no-obligation scoping call where we discuss your specific needs. Investing in a thorough pen test is significantly less expensive than the potential cost of an exploit.
