Paladin Blockchain Security

Smart contract security firm with 500+ audits and $10B+ in protected TVL.

Paladin is a smart contract security firm with 500+ audits across DeFi, bridges, staking, and yield protocols. Every engagement is staffed based on fit, with the right researchers for the specific chain, language, and attack surface, not just who is available.

With clients including LayerZero, Ethena, Etherfi, and Trader Joe, We've worked through multiple market cycles and supported protocols with $10B+ in TVL.

Use Cases

Pre-Launch Smart Contract Audits

Full security review before mainnet or TGE covering logic errors, access control, economic exploits, and edge cases across Solidity, Rust, and Move.

Post-Deployment Risk Reviews

Security assessments for live protocols including identifying vulnerabilities introduced through upgrades, integrations, or changed market conditions.

Stress Testing

Adversarial condition simulations including flash loan attacks, price manipulation, and liquidity edge cases to validate protocol resilience under real-world pressure.

Cross-Chain & Bridging Security Reviews

Specialized audits for bridge contracts, message-passing protocols, and cross-chain integrations covering the unique attack surfaces that arise when assets move between chains.

Incident Response & Exploit Forensics

Active exploit response including attack tracing, damage assessment, recovery coordination, and post-mortem reporting, with experience in production incidents (e.g., Nomad Bridge $1M+ recovered).

Penetration Testing

Adversarial testing beyond static code review including simulating real attacker behavior across smart contracts, APIs, and protocol infrastructure to surface vulnerabilities before launch.
