Smart-contract Audit

Deep adversarial review of smart contract logic and protocol invariants, performed by a dedicated team of senior security researchers, augmented by proprietary AI tooling, before mainnet deployment.

Senior-led audit for protocols where users put their trust

[ Why MixBytes ]
A fixed team of senior researchers per engagement, not a pool, not juniors with one lead. The same people who start your audit finish it, owning every finding end-to-end.
Dedicated senior team, every time
300+ audits since 2017, $ 50bn+ TVL secured. AMMs, lending, bridges, liquid staking, L2s, governance and cross-chain protocols. Every major attack class seen firsthand and carried into every engagement.
A decade of hands-on DeFi expertise
Full adversarial manual review: execution paths, economic attack modelling, PoC exploits. AI tooling runs in parallel for extra coverage; every candidate is validated by a senior.
Manual depth with AI Coverage
Diff audits on every new release, operational security reviews, AI-assisted scans between full audits. Plus re-audit of fixes and mainnet deployment verification before go-live.
Continuous security after the report

Automated tools catch known patterns. Junior teams miss what they have not seen before. MixBytes brings a dedicated team of senior researchers who approach every engagement as a targeted attack.

The security standard serious protocols choose
[ Methodology ]

Two stages, four phases, fixed deliverables. Every engagement follows the same rigorous process so nothing falls through the gaps between kick-off and mainnet.

A consistent process from code freeze to mainnet
Interim Audit
Stage 1
Understand overall system design and contract interactions, map component responsibilities and protocol workflows, trace execution paths and state transitions, identify trust boundaries and external integrations, and form an independent architectural model directly from code.
Project Architecture Review
Review the codebase from an attacker’s perspective: search for edge cases, invalid assumptions and unsafe state transitions, attempt to violate invariants, model economic attack surfaces, and write targeted tests, fuzzing and PoC exploits.
Adversarial Code Review
Review code against an internally maintained vulnerability checklist derived from past exploits, covering common DeFi attack classes: reentrancy, accounting and oracle manipulation, privilege escalation, state desynchronization. AI tooling surfaces candidate issues; every candidate is manually validated.
Systematic Vulnerability Analysis
Merge interim inputs from all auditors into a coherent report: cross-check findings, consolidate and deduplicate issues, resolve severity discrepancies, and finalize the report narrative for client review.

Re-audit & Mainnet Deployment Verification
Stage 2
Confirm each remediation matches the recommendation, verify modified logic introduces no new issues, and re-run tests on the fixed areas.
Re-audit
Verify deployed bytecode matches the audited commit with identical compiler settings, review constructor/initializer arguments, proxy order and admin config, ensure implementations are not left uninitialized or exposed to init front-running, then publish the final report.
Mainnet Deployment Verification
01
02
Every new release reviewed against the previous audited version. Only the delta is analysed, so turnaround is fast.
Protocol updates & Diff audits
Ongoing review of parameter changes, governance actions, integrations and upgrades before they go live.
Operational security reviews
Continuous automated scanning between full audits to catch regressions and new vulnerability patterns early.
AI-assisted scans
Defined response windows for security incidents. Direct access to the team that audited your protocol.
Priority SLA

Every completed audit unlocks ongoing Security Support. Your protocol keeps shipping, so security coverage needs to keep up.

Security doesn’t stop at the audit report

Trusted by leading Web3 teams
The MixBytes team was highly engaged throughout the audit, consistently available and proactive with insightful questions that demonstrated a deep understanding of the protocol. Their commitment to a thorough review, high level of expertise, adherence to deadlines, and professional approach made the audit process smooth and effective.

We’ve been working with MixBytes since 2020, and they’ve audited all of our core systems: DEX, lending and stablecoin infrastructure, as well as the DAO and Hybrid Vaults within Yield Basis. They’ve developed a strong understanding of our architecture, making each audit more efficient. A reliable, consistent security partner whose context and collaboration we highly value.
