Advanced Security Assessments

Advanced Security Assessments for L1 & L2 Chains

Launching or scaling a Layer 1 or Layer 2 chain demands more than contract security, it requires validating the entire protocol architecture. Spearbit’s Advanced Security Assessments help you catch critical design flaws in consensus logic, validator economics, rollup architecture, and bridging systems - long before they hit production.

Threat Modeling: Predict & Prevent Protocol-Level Attacks

We simulate complex threat actors across validator sets, sequencer flows, and DA assumptions. Our modeling reveals risks in block production, finality, MEV extraction, cross-chain messages, and slashing logic, giving L1 and L2 teams a complete map of their protocol’s attack surface.

Architectural Security Review: Secure from the Ground Up

Go beyond smart contract audits with a big-picture review of your design. We evaluate system dependencies, contract interactions, and off-chain components to uncover critical security gaps.

AI Security Expertise: Protect Your Machine Learning Systems

AI security requires a unique approach. We safeguard machine learning models, NLP systems, and AI-driven APIs against data manipulation, adversarial attacks, and emerging threats—ensuring integrity and trust.

Fuzzing & Unit Testing: Identify Hidden Vulnerabilities

Automated fuzzing and rigorous unit testing help uncover deep-seated security flaws that traditional reviews miss. By stress-testing your contracts with edge-case inputs, we expose critical weaknesses and strengthen your organization’s resilience.

Economic Security Analysis: Bulletproof Your Organization’s Incentives

Flaws in economic design can destabilize an entire ecosystem. We analyze game theory, incentive structures, and market mechanics to prevent manipulation, ensure stability, and fortify your organization’s financial security.

Why Advanced Security Assessments Matter

Most teams focus on what’s deployed - but sophisticated attackers target the architecture, assumptions, and economic design implemented long before go live. Spearbit’s advanced assessments help you move from reactive to resilient, with security that starts at the design layer and covers every surface: technical, operational, and economic.

Whether you’re building a rollup, launching a novel financial primitive, integrating AI systems, or coordinating multi-party governance, this service is designed to uncover what traditional audits can’t.

Who This Is For

  • Protocols launching new L1s, L2s, or rollups

  • ZK-based or modular architecture projects

  • eams integrating AI/ML systems or oracles

  • DeFi protocols with novel game-theoretic models

  • Projects bridging on-chain and off-chain logic

  • Foundational teams building tokenomics or mechanism design

FAQ

What qualifies as an “advanced” assessment for L1/L2 protocols

We assess multi-layer architectures including consensus, settlement, and DA. Our reviews focus on validator incentives, slashing conditions, sequencing rules, and inter-module interactions that impact protocol safety and liveness.

What kinds of architectural risks do you typically uncover?

We often find unintended centralization vectors, faulty fallback logic in rollups, slashing mechanisms that can be griefed, and execution layer assumptions that break under network congestion or reorg scenarios.

How does this assessment differ from a traditional smart contract audit?

Contract audits focus on isolated functions. Our advanced assessments model your system holistically, identifying protocol-level attack surfaces like cross-domain message forgery or consensus manipulation across validator sets.

When is the best time to request this service?

Ideally during testnet stages, before validator onboarding or sequencer activation. Many teams also use our service to validate upgrades that affect core components like bridging, staking, or consensus rules.

Do you assess economic and MEV-related threats?

Yes. We evaluate block production incentives, proposer-builder separation, MEV extraction risks, and whether fee mechanisms align validator behavior with long-term protocol health.

Can this assessment cover bridging and cross-chain messaging layers?

Absolutely. We analyze bridge contracts, light client implementations, and message-passing logic—especially where rollup finality or DA verification depends on external chains.

What do deliverables include for L1/L2 teams?

You receive a system-wide risk report with architectural diagrams, issue descriptions, and remediation guidance—plus optional walkthroughs for validator teams or governance participants.
