Flexible Smart Contracts Security Reviews for DeFi Protocols

Cantina Security Reviews for DeFi focus on protecting your protocol’s financial integrity. We review lending pools, AMMs, and custom derivatives to ensure safe interactions, asset flows, and upgrade paths.

We specialize in smart contracts, DeFi protocols, decentralized financial infrastructure, and Web3 tooling, with deep expertise in the unique security challenges of decentralized finance. Our team is adept at reviewing DeFi primitives—such as lending markets, DEXs, yield aggregators, and staking protocols—as well as the underlying infrastructure that powers these systems. Cantina also supports Web2 security reviews for backend systems, APIs, and integrations that interface with blockchain components, ensuring robust protection across both on-chain and off-chain environments. Whether your platform is fully decentralized, hybrid, or incorporates traditional financial architecture, we deliver a tailored security review model that aligns with your technology stack and threat landscape.
