Audit Methodology

Four phases.
Every engagement.

Phase 01
Scoping & Intake

Scope fixed in writing before any review begins. Architecture review, threat model, timeline confirmed.

Repository access and architecture documentation review
30-minute technical call with your engineering lead
Scope document issued and countersigned
Threat model and trust boundary mapping
Phase 02
Manual Review

Senior auditors read every line of in-scope code. Business logic, state transitions, access control, economic invariants.

Line-by-line review of all in-scope contracts
Cross-contract call graph and trust model review
Economic invariant and tokenomics validation
Access control and privilege escalation paths
Phase 03
Automated Analysis

Slither, Echidna, Foundry invariant tests. All tool output manually validated before inclusion in the report.

Slither static analysis with custom detectors
Echidna property-based fuzzing
Foundry invariant test suite
All automated findings manually confirmed
Phase 04
Report & Attestation

Written for three audiences: engineering (actionable), legal (defensible), investors (comprehensible).

Why Darkwave

A firm you can put
in a contract.

Registered entity

Registered firm. Engagements governed by formal service agreements. Attestation letters on firm letterhead.

Fixed scope, fixed fee

No hourly billing. Quoted after scoping call. No surprises on invoice.

Zero post-audit exploits

Every protocol we have publicly attested remains unexploited. We intend to keep that record.

Written for three audiences

Engineering team, legal counsel, and investors. One report that works for all three.

Single focus

No consulting, no tooling, no advisory retainers. Audits only. Depth does not survive dilution.

Confidentiality by default

NDA available on request. Engagements stay private until you authorize disclosure.

"An audit that does not catch the critical finding is not an audit. It is a document."

We do one thing. Smart contract security audits — nothing else. Every resource we have goes into every engagement we accept.

Darkwave is a registered entity. Every engagement is governed by a formal service agreement. Every attestation letter is signed on firm letterhead.

Supported Ecosystems
