Smart Contract Security Audits

Oak Security's flagship offering is comprehensive smart contract security audits using their signature 'blinded' auditing methodology. Each audit is conducted by multiple senior security researchers (minimum 2 for Seed Audits, 4+ for Signature Audits) working independently in parallel before consensus meetings. This redundancy-by-design approach consistently outperforms competitors, even when working on the same codebase simultaneously.

Blinded Audit Methodology

The blinded process works in three phases: (1) Independent review where each auditor works as if compiling the report solo, using diverse tools and techniques; (2) Consensus meeting where auditors reveal findings for the first time; (3) Collaborative phase producing the final report. This methodology reduces bias, incentivizes thoroughness, and allows quality monitoring of individual auditors.

Oak Security audits all Web3 components including smart contracts across EVM (Solidity), Solana, Cosmos (CosmWasm), Polkadot/Substrate (ink!), Stellar (Soroban), consensus algorithms, virtual machines, bridges, DeFi protocols, liquid staking/restaking, cross-chain sequencers, cryptographic primitives, and off-chain infrastructure.

Specialized Audit Offerings

Standard Token Audits: Fixed-rate audits for Real-World Asset projects or token launches using standard fungible/non-fungible tokens with typical features (transfer, mint, burn, supply cap). Includes alignment checks with official token standards, security vulnerability review, blinded multi-auditor approach, detailed findings with risk assessment, and publication on Oak Security's media channels. Typically completed in less than one week.

AI-Assisted MVP Scans: Rapid security reviews perfect for early teams before testnet launches or VCs conducting technical due diligence. Combines AI-assisted scanning with function-level checklist reviews, focuses on common vulnerabilities and red flags rather than logic validation, includes function-level call graphs for development teams, and delivers within 3 business days at significantly lower cost than full audits.

Retainer Model: Credit-based monthly agreements where clients earn auditing credits (1 credit = 1 week of auditing) that can be accumulated or used across months. Provides guaranteed start dates, 20% savings versus one-time engagements, and flexibility to match development cycle fluctuations.

Deliverables and Process

All audit findings are transparently published to Oak Security's GitHub repository. The firm offers flexible pricing with two tiers per technology stack (Seed and Signature), incremental audits for codebase updates, and can scale operations swiftly for urgent projects. Audits typically range from 0.5 weeks for simple projects to 12 weeks for complex systems, with most taking 1-2 weeks. Verification of fixes is included, with auditors available for 3 weeks post-delivery.

The service includes manual code review, automated static analysis, dynamic testing, vulnerability assessment reports, remediation guidance, and pre-deployment security sign-off. Technical due diligence components include code quality metrics, security review sessions, and risk assessment.
