Stablecoin audit readiness and remediation
Pre-audit hardening and remediation so your stablecoin contracts clear a brand-name audit with fewer findings and less back-and-forth.
The problem
What this engagement solves
Brand-name audits are expensive, slow to book, and unforgiving. Showing up with undocumented invariants, thin test coverage, and known issues burns weeks of auditor time and your budget, and a failed review delays your launch or chain expansion. We are not trying to replace OpenZeppelin, Trail of Bits, Hacken, or CertiK. We get you ready for them.
What we do
How we deliver it
- Threat-model your mint/burn, access control, upgrade, and pause paths against the ways stablecoins actually fail.
- Raise test and invariant coverage with unit, integration, fuzzing, and property tests on the critical money paths.
- Fix the findings auditors predictably raise, including reentrancy, rounding, allowance, and privileged-role risks, before they cost auditor hours.
- Prepare the documentation auditors ask for: spec, state diagrams, event maps, and a known-issue register.
- Run remediation after the audit: implement fixes, re-test, and manage the re-audit loop to sign-off.
Scope
What's in scope
- ERC-20 and stablecoin token contracts, including blocklist, pause, and role-based controls.
- Mint/redeem and treasury-adjacent contracts, excluding reserve custody and key material.
- Upgrade and proxy patterns, timelocks, and multisig or governance wiring.
- CI setup for static analysis, coverage gates, and continuous invariant checks.
Deliverables
What you get
- Hardened contracts with a documented invariant and test suite.
- Pre-audit readiness report with a prioritized findings and remediation log.
- Auditor-ready technical documentation pack.
- Post-audit remediation and re-test support through to sign-off.
Typical engagement
Ticket band
Typical engagement: $5k–$20k for a pre-audit hardening and remediation sprint. Teams that want ongoing coverage continue on a security retainer of $5k–$30k/mo, with contract monitoring from $2k–$10k/mo. Figures are typical ranges, not quotes.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask first
Do you compete with OpenZeppelin or Trail of Bits?
No. Those firms are the gold-standard final auditors, and we get you ready for them. We harden the code, raise coverage, and fix the predictable findings so the brand-name audit is faster, cheaper, and cleaner.
Can you remediate findings from an audit we already have?
Yes. A standalone remediation engagement, implementing fixes, re-testing, and managing the re-audit loop to sign-off, is one of the most common ways teams start with us.
What do you not touch?
We do not hold key material or make compliance decisions. Custody and MPC key management, reserve management, and compliance policy stay with you and your regulated providers.
