Which Do You Need?
Three layers of defense across the lifecycle: during build, before launch, and in production. Most teams run more than one.
During build
Sentinel
- Best for
- Self-serve automated analysis on a budget, or between audits
- When
- During development, pre-deployment, or continuous spot-checks
Starts at
$100 / scan
Before launch
Audit
- Best for
- Deep, human-led review before a mainnet launch or major upgrade
- When
- Code is feature-complete with 70%+ test coverage
Starts at
$5,000
In production
Tripwire
- Best for
- Continuous monitoring and threat response for live contracts
- When
- After deployment: monitoring starts where the audit ends

Smart Contract Audits
Senior, human-led engagements scoped to your codebase, priced per engagement, not from fixed tiers. Most audits ship in days to a few weeks, with a free scoping assessment and a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
What every engagement includes
- Manual line-by-line review by senior auditors
- Automated analysis via Sentinel
- Architecture review & threat modeling
- Fuzzing & invariant testing
- Economic attack modeling
- Oracle & cross-chain risk analysis
- Severity-rated report with proof-of-concept exploits
- Remediation re-audit at no extra cost
Engagement floor
From $5,000
Fixed-price quote after a free assessment. Complex L1, bridge, and ZK systems scale to $200K+.
What Affects Audit Cost
Six factors drive the quote: lines of logic-bearing code, protocol complexity, external integrations, language and chain, timeline urgency, and whether formal verification is in scope. Density and complexity matter more than raw line count.
An audit costs a fraction of an exploit.
80%
of breached protocols were never professionally audited
10.8%
of total value lost came from audited protocols
$7.3M
average 2024 DeFi exploit
A $50K audit that prevents a single exploit pays for itself many times over.
