Ethereum Smart Contract Security Audits
Ethereum secures the largest concentration of on-chain value in crypto. With over $55 billion in DeFi TVL and thousands of active protocols, it's the primary target for sophisticated attackers. Our Ethereum audits cover the full EVM attack surface: from Solidity-specific bugs to protocol-level economic exploits.

Ethereum-Specific Security Risks
Every blockchain has unique security properties. These are the risks specific to building on Ethereum.
EVM Storage & Reentrancy
Ethereum's execution model makes external calls before state updates dangerous. Reentrancy remains a top exploit vector despite years of awareness.
MEV & Front-Running
Ethereum's public mempool enables MEV extraction: sandwich attacks, front-running, and transaction ordering manipulation at the protocol level.
Proxy Upgrade Risks
The majority of major Ethereum protocols use upgradeable proxies. Storage collisions, initialization bugs, and admin key compromises are critical risks.
Composability Exploits
Ethereum's composable DeFi ecosystem means protocols interact in unexpected ways. Flash loan attacks exploit these interactions atomically.
