Solo Audits - For Web3 Teams

The right solo auditor cuts costs while helping you secure your protocol.

  • Cost-efficient – pay for expertise, not corporate overhead.
  • Niche Expertise – I’ve audited projects across different web3 domains and only take work where I can add real value.
  • Transparent – one auditor, clear accountability, publicly verifiable credibility.

A solo security review, especially early on, before further audits can help maximize ROI and save you $$$$$.

Let's talk. Reach out to me anytime and see whether a Solo Audit is the right fit for your project.

Web3 Security Audits

Over 80+ High/Medium Findings discovered, of which 20H/M were solo/unique. In projects with all kinds of tech-stack: Solidity, Go, Java & etc.
