Cost Drivers

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.

Threat Intel

An audit costs a fraction of an exploit.

80%

of breached protocols were never professionally audited

10.8%

A $50K audit that prevents a single exploit pays for itself many times over.
