DeFi Protocol Security Audit
DeFi protocols combine complex contracts, economic incentives and composability — a rich attack surface. We audit the whole system, from contract code to economic design to oracle dependencies, so your protocol can hold value safely.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.

- Flash-loan and composability attack vectors
- Governance and upgrade-mechanism review
- Integration and dependency-risk assessment
What you receive
- Comprehensive protocol audit report
- Economic and technical findings with proofs of concept
- Remediation guidance
- Re-audit of fixes
- Public audit summary (optional)
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Audit of the protocol version provided
- No guarantee against market or third-party protocol risk
- Governance decisions remain the project's responsibility
- No investment or financial advice
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- How is a DeFi audit different from a contract audit?
- A DeFi audit goes beyond code to the economic design — how incentives, oracles, flash loans and composability could be abused. Many DeFi exploits are economic attacks on perfectly 'correct' code.
- Do you review oracle and governance risk?
- Yes. Oracle manipulation and governance attacks are among the most damaging DeFi exploits, so we specifically assess price feeds, upgrade paths and governance mechanisms.
- What do you need from us?
- The full protocol source, architecture and economic documentation, and details of external dependencies and integrations. The more complete the picture, the deeper the audit.
