Smart Contract Audits

Comprehensive Smart Contract Security Auditing

Paladin provides elite smart contract security auditing services for blockchain protocols, combining rigorous manual code review with sophisticated penetration testing. The team of independent auditors and white-hat hackers specializes in evaluating decentralized finance (DeFi) projects across multiple dimensions: safety, functionality, protection, and utility.

Audit Capabilities

Standard Audits

Comprehensive security audits that include careful inspection of code to identify potential business logic issues, edge-case bugs, exploit risks, governance risks, gas inefficiencies, and tokenomic inefficiencies. The team provides solutions for any discovered bugs or attack vectors and works closely with clients to ensure recommendations are implemented correctly.

Technical expertise focuses on auditing smart contracts developed in both Solidity (the predominant language for EVM-based protocols) and Move (powering emerging blockchain platforms like Sui and Aptos). The firm has completed 350+ audits, protecting over $10 billion USD in TVL, and has audited over 1 million lines of code.

Large Scale Audits

Specialized security services for complex and large-scale DeFi protocols including lending platforms, derivatives protocols, and options platforms. The team of independent top auditors provides user-centric assessments as well as contract functionality evaluations, working closely with clients by providing recommendations and advice throughout the audit process.

Non-EVM Blockchain Audits

While Paladin's primary expertise lies within Solidity and EVM-based protocols, their auditing services are also available for WebAssembly-based blockchains including EOS and DFinity (Internet Computer), expanding security expertise to alternative blockchain architectures.

Paladin Rush

Expedited audit service with dedicated auditor war room for rapid code coverage within days. What sets Paladin Rush apart is the commitment to achieving rapid results without any compromise on quality - the service does not rely on automated tools, maintaining the same rigorous manual review standards as standard audits.

Penetration Testing

Advanced penetration testing using state-of-the-art offensive security techniques. The team uses sophisticated methods to identify potential exploit vulnerabilities including oracle manipulation attacks, flash loan exploits, exploitable business logic errors, theft or loss vectors targeting users, and contract functionality malfunctions. This proactive security testing complements traditional auditing by simulating real-world attack scenarios.

Distinctive Features

Paladin offers truly thorough audits with a distinctive focus on investor safety, aiming for complete coverage against all potential issues. A post-deployment verification round ensures all deployed contracts match the audited contracts completely.
