MixBytes is a blockchain security firm specializing in the analysis of decentralized protocols and smart contract systems.
The company helps Web3 teams build resilient protocol architecture, smart contract logic, and economic mechanisms through a combination of AI-assisted analysis and senior human expertise.
Rather than focusing solely on one-time audits before deployment, MixBytes works with protocols across their entire lifecycle - from early architecture design to production audits and ongoing protocol evolution.
Our team consists of experienced security researchers, engineers, and protocol analysts with deep expertise in DeFi systems, adversarial protocol analysis, and smart contract security.
Over the years, MixBytes has worked with many of the most widely used protocols in the ecosystem including Lido, Aave, Curve, 1inch, OKX, Fluid, Gearbox, Resolv, Mantle and others, helping teams identify vulnerabilities, strengthen protocol design, and improve the robustness of decentralized systems.
To enhance analysis efficiency and coverage, MixBytes also develops and uses internal AI-assisted tooling that helps surface potential risk signals during development and code review. These tools augment the work of senior auditors but do not replace expert analysis.
Security audits of lending protocols where stablecoins are the primary borrowing and supply asset. Portfolio includes: Aave (aUSDC, ERC-4626 stata token wrapper over aUSDC positions), Gearbox Protocol (stablecoin Credit Accounts for leveraged DeFi strategies), Clearpool (uncollateralized institutional stablecoin lending pools), Euler Finance, and Notional Finance fixed-rate stablecoin markets.
Security audits of stablecoin architectures where digital dollars serve as the primary collateral or redemption asset. Key Case: Resolv - 9 audits of USR stablecoin (minted by depositing stablecoins at 1:1), Treasury contracts, Proof-of-Reserve Oracles managing stablecoin redemption flows, and ExternalRequestsCoordinator.
Security audits of core DEX infrastructure underpinning stablecoin market liquidity. Portfolio includes: Curve Finance (stablecoins and associated pools) and 1inch Aggregation Router v4 and v5 - the primary routing layer for stablecoin trades across the ecosystem.
Security audits of cross-chain protocols that route and bridge stablecoins across networks. Portfolio includes: Rubic - a multi-chain DEX and bridge aggregator supporting stablecoin transfers across EVM networks - and CrossCurve (EYWA) - a cross-chain liquidity protocol enabling stablecoin-denominated Curve pool liquidity across multiple chains.
Security audits of RWA protocols using stablecoins as the base settlement asset. Key case: Ozean - an Ethereum L2 launched by Clearpool where users deposit stablecoins as the primary input asset, receiving the native gas token at 1:1 ratio. Ozean is designed to bring institutional RWA yield onchain with stablecoins as the foundational liquidity layer.
