Smart Contract Security Audits

Zenith delivers smart contract security audits conducted by a curated roster of elite independent security researchers. Each audit engagement is staffed with researchers specifically selected for the client's codebase type, security requirements, and budget constraints — providing manual code review, vulnerability assessment, and remediation guidance before deployment.

Coverage

Audits cover a broad range of blockchain ecosystems and protocol types:

• EVM protocols: DeFi primitives, DEXs, lending protocols, stablecoin infrastructure
• Solana programs: Rust-based programs, liquidity layers, trading platforms
• Move / Aptos / Sui: Move-based smart contracts
• Cairo / StarkNet: Cairo smart contracts and ZK rollup infrastructure
• Cosmos SDK: IBC-connected chains and modules
• Zero-Knowledge systems: ZK circuits and cryptographic infrastructure
• AI agent protocols: On-chain autonomous agent frameworks
