Security for DeFi protocols
DeFi protocols are attacked through their code, their economics, their front ends and the people who run them. HYDN covers all four: manual smart contract audits that model economic attacks, penetration testing of dApp front ends and infrastructure, and red team exercises against treasury and multisig operations.
Before launch
- DeFi protocol audit covering code and economics.
- Specialist reviews for vaults, bridges and governance.
- A pre-audit checklist to make the audit faster and cheaper.
Once live
- dApp and front end testing, since users interact with your site, not your contracts.
- Re-audits for every upgrade.
- Testing of the multisig and treasury processes that control the protocol.
Track record
HYDN has worked with SushiSwap, Sablier, Revert Finance, StakeDAO, SpookySwap and Swapsicle, among others, and rescued over $600,000 of SushiSwap user funds during a live exploit. Read the case study.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is an audit enough for a DeFi protocol?
It is the essential first step. Most protocols also need front end and infrastructure testing once live, and teams holding large treasuries should test their operational security too.
