Core Services

Decentralised Security & Smart Contract Protection

VertexDelta offers deep, attacker-minded security services that span smart contract auditing, protocol architecture review, adversarial testing, on-chain monitoring, and incident response.

Smart Contract Auditing

Comprehensive manual-first audits

Comprehensive manual-first audits designed to uncover both technical and economic vulnerabilities.

  • Full line-by-line code review
  • Identification of logic flaws, privilege issues, unsafe external calls, and economic attack vectors
  • Static & dynamic analysis, fuzzing, and formal verification where needed
  • Detailed audit report with severity ratings, reproduction steps, and fix recommendations
  • Re-audit after revisions included
Protocol Architecture & Threat Modeling

Beyond code: full protocol view

Beyond code: deep analysis of your entire system’s design and assumptions.

  • Consensus, validator, and network security review
  • Tokenomics & governance risk analysis
  • Bridge architecture, message verification, and cross-chain attack surfaces
  • Oracle dependencies, liquidity flows, and incentive structures
  • Comprehensive threat model covering technical, economic, and governance vectors
Live Protection

Adversarial Testing & On-Chain Monitoring

We don’t stop at theoretical risks. VertexDelta simulates real-world attackers and monitors your deployed contracts continuously to catch issues before they become critical.

Adversarial Testing & Attack Simulation

We simulate real-world attackers before they can strike.

Scenario-driven testing focused on the ways attackers can profit from your system.

  • Mainnet-fork exploit simulation under live conditions
  • Flash-loan attack modelling
  • MEV manipulation scenarios (front-run, back-run, sandwiching, generalized bots)
  • Oracle manipulation & drift testing
  • Governance takeover and voting power analysis
  • Stress and edge-case testing to expose race conditions and unexpected states
On-Chain Monitoring & Threat Detection

Continuous protection for your deployed contracts.

Real-time monitoring focused on anomalies, exploit signatures and risk indicators.

  • Real-time tracking of suspicious contract interactions
  • Automated anomaly detection and exploit signature matching
  • Monitoring of MEV activity around your protocol
  • Alerts on unexpected token movements, governance actions, or liquidation cascades
  • Human review and escalation when urgent threats appear
When It Matters Most

Incident Response, Tooling & Infrastructure Security

If something goes wrong, speed and clarity are everything. VertexDelta helps reduce damage, restore stability, and strengthen your systems for the future.

Incident Response & Exploit Management

If something goes wrong, we act fast.

Structured, calm response when your protocol behaves unexpectedly or is under active attack.

  • Immediate response during an attack or abnormal behaviour
  • Contract pausing support and emergency patch guidance
  • Coordination with exchanges, validators, and MEV searchers
  • Forensic analysis to identify root causes and affected components
  • Structured post-mortem reporting and long-term mitigation planning
Security Tooling & Verification

High-assurance testing with specialised tooling.

Ensuring protocol behaviour matches its intended design, even under stress.

  • Fuzz testing of critical protocol logic
  • Formal verification for high-risk modules
  • Static analysis, symbolic execution, and invariant checks
  • Transaction simulation frameworks for safe upgrade testing
  • Integration of custom tooling tailored to your system
Surrounding Systems

Infrastructure, Keys & Long-Term Practices

Securing the systems around your protocol is as important as the contracts themselves. VertexDelta helps tighten infrastructure, key management and operational practices.

Infrastructure, Node & Key Security

Securing the systems around your protocol.

Focused on the operational and infrastructure layers that support your decentralised system.

  • Validator & node hardening
  • Secure multisig design and signer workflows
  • RPC endpoint protection and rate limiting
  • Best practices for key custody, HSMs, and operational security
  • Internal process audits and attack-surface reduction
Documentation, Compliance & Best Practices

Clear guidance for safe development & operations.

Long-term clarity around how to build, upgrade and operate your protocol securely.

  • Developer-friendly recommendations for all fixes
  • Secure coding standards and upgrade procedures
  • Governance & permissioning policies
  • Risk mitigation frameworks for ongoing operations
Approach

Practical, attacker-minded security

VertexDelta treats every engagement as if we were the attacker first: how would we profit, where would we break things, and how do we make that as hard as possible? The output is not just a PDF report — it’s a clearer understanding of your real risk and a practical path to reduce it.

Start a security review with VertexDelta

Share a short description of your protocol, current deployment status (testnet/mainnet), and what you’d like help with (audit, design review, monitoring, incident support).

Example:
“We’re launching a DeFi protocol on <chain> with upgradeable contracts and custom tokenomics. We’d like a security review before mainnet and help modelling flash-loan and oracle risks.”
