Web2 Security Reviews

Web2 Security Reviews for DeFi Protocols

Comprehensive reviews for blockchain infrastructure - delivered by security experts who understand the critical nature of consensus and node operations.

Secure the Off-Chain Infrastructure That Powers Your Protocol

Cantina’s Web2 Security Reviews help DeFi protocols protect the critical off-chain components behind governance dashboards, oracle services, keepers, APIs, and internal admin tools. Our expert reviewers surface implementation-level risks in the infrastructure that supports billions in on-chain value.

Whether you operate a custom frontend, centralized oracle backend, or protocol-owned API, we help you catch authentication flaws, privilege escalation paths, and service misconfigurations that put protocol control or user trust at risk.

What We Cover

We focus on the Web2 attack surfaces that most commonly support or extend DeFi protocols:

  • Admin panels or multisig control dashboards

  • Oracle updater scripts and backend APIs

  • Governance UIs and vote execution services

  • Web-based keepers or automation scripts

  • Authentication and session logic for protocol contributors

  • Third-party SaaS integrations tied to treasury or dev access

  • Cloud misconfigurations and key leakage risks

  • IDOR, RCE, SSRF, or off-chain injection vectors

  • API misuse, broken access control, or signing logic flaws

We scope reviews for custom internal apps, third-party infrastructure, and multi-surface deployments where off-chain issues can result in loss of funds or governance failure.

FAQ

What is a Web2 Security Review for a DeFi protocol?

It’s a targeted assessment of the off-chain infrastructure supporting your smart contracts—like governance UIs, keeper backends, vote relayers, or multisig coordination apps.

Why does Web2 matter for DeFi?

Because many DeFi systems rely on off-chain automation, frontend wallets, and backend scripts. These often control or influence on-chain execution—and attackers know it.

Can you review oracle scripts or keeper nodes?

Yes. We review cron jobs, update logic, admin APIs, and hosted services that interact with or control on-chain contracts.

Do you support fast timelines for audits tied to DeFi launches?

Yes. Web2 reviews typically begin within 5 business days and can be bundled with your smart contract audit or bounty.

Do you support internal dashboards or private admin tools?

Absolutely. We frequently assess governance UIs, team tools, fund tracking systems, and vault controllers—especially those with elevated permissions.

Can we include both public-facing and internal Web2 apps?

Yes. Many DeFi teams bundle both to ensure that user-facing surfaces and high-trust internal tools are hardened together.

What do deliverables look like?

A formal report with prioritized findings, technical proof, and remediation steps. Fix validation is available if you’d like confirmation post-patch.

How does team composition differ between Spearbit and Cantina reviews?

Spearbit provides high-end security reviews with teams hand-selected from a network of top Web3 security talent. Spearbit reviews must include a minimum of two Lead Security Researchers. These reviews are designed for depth and specialization, assessing some of the most complex decentralized systems in the ecosystem.

Cantina Reviews allow for more flexibility, providing you with a team of expert security researchers without Spearbit’s two Lead Security Researcher minimum. This model allows for faster onboarding and/or budget-flexibility while leveraging the same pool of expert security talent.
