FAQ
What is the goal of security advisory?
Security advisory gives your team direct access to a senior researcher who can flag risks, offer architecture guidance, and support your roadmap - all while staying aligned with your technical goals.
How is this different from an audit?
An audit is a point-in-time code review. Advisory is continuous, strategic input throughout development - often before any code is written. It helps you build securely from day one.
Who are the advisors?
Our advisors are active researchers in the Spearbit network with deep experience in protocol security, DeFi design, and infrastructure risk. We match you based on technical fit.
What's the scope of a typical advisory engagement?
Advisory scope is flexible. You might work together on threat modeling, architecture validation, smart contract design, or preparing for a security review. We tailor it to your roadmap.
Is this service only for large teams?
No. Startups, DAOs, and lean technical teams benefit from advisory just as much as large foundations - especially when navigating early-stage decisions with long-term consequences.
How long does an advisory relationship last?
Some teams engage for a few weeks; others build long-term partnerships. We offer flexible terms to match your development cycles, audit timelines, or growth phase.
Can I engage an advisor while also planning an audit?
Absolutely. In fact, many teams use advisory to prepare for a Spearbit or Cantina audit, identify gaps early, and increase audit efficiency.
