Zenith

Zenith is a blockchain security audit firm that assembles elite, independent security researchers to audit smart contracts and decentralized protocols. Founded to solve a common pain point in Web3 — audit wait times that delay launches — Zenith's model enables projects to start an audit engagement in under 48 hours, with a curated team selected for each client's specific codebase, security needs, and budget.

Core Products/Services

Zenith's primary offering is smart contract security audits, delivered by a hand-picked roster of more than 30 prize-winning competitive security researchers. Auditors on the Zenith platform include some of the most recognized names in the space: @samczsun (the most prolific whitehat in DeFi history and founder of the Security Alliance), @obront (renowned for findings in Blast, Optimism, and Story Protocol), @J4X (expertise across Solidity, Solana, Rust, Cosmos, Cairo, and more), @hash (former #1 ranked researcher on Code4rena with over $500,000 in total rewards), and @cccz (#4 ranked all-time on Code4rena). Audits span multiple blockchain ecosystems including EVM, Solana, Move, Cairo, Cosmos, and Zero-Knowledge systems.

Key Strengths

Zenith differentiates on speed, quality, and transparency of expertise. Unlike traditional audit firms that assign junior auditors without client visibility, Zenith operates on a merit-based model: clients know exactly who is auditing their code. In 2025, 47% of Zenith audits uncovered high-impact or critical findings, demonstrating consistent depth of review. The firm's average lead time to start an engagement is under 24 hours — a stark contrast to the month-long queues common in the industry.

The platform also maintains a GitHub repository of public audit reports, providing transparency and accountability that prospective clients can evaluate before engaging.

Notable Clients/Projects

Zenith has secured projects across a wide spectrum of the Web3 ecosystem, including Jupiter, Injective, GMX, 1inch, Mantle, Ethena, Berachain, Meteora, Virtuals Protocol, Biconomy, Berachain, Bridge.xyz, Zama.ai, Succinct, Theo, and more. Client testimonials from Jupiter and Injective specifically highlight Zenith's efficiency, professionalism, and ability to meet aggressive shipping timelines.

Why Choose Zenith
