Web3 & DeFi Pentesting & VAPT

Smart contract audits, dApp pentesting and bridge security for DeFi, NFT and Web3 infrastructure.

Why it matters

On-chain bugs are unfixable once deployed. StartSecure combines manual smart contract audits (Solidity, Vyper, Rust) with off-chain dApp, oracle and bridge pentesting — so the whole stack, not just the contract, is hardened before launch.

Top threats we find

Attack patterns specific to Web3 & DeFi

Re-entrancy & arithmetic bugs

Classic and cross-function re-entrancy, unchecked low-level calls, integer over/underflow.

Bridge & oracle manipulation

Validator collusion, message-replay across chains, oracle price manipulation.

Front-end / wallet drainer paths

Compromised RPCs, malicious approvals, signature-phishing flows, EIP-712 abuse.

Off-chain infra attacks

Sequencer, indexer, relayer and admin-key compromise.

How we pentest

Our web3 & defi testing approach

01

Manual smart contract audit

Line-by-line review by senior auditors; we benchmark against Trail of Bits / OpenZeppelin rigor.

02

Economic & game-theory analysis

Flash-loan, MEV, governance-attack and incentive-misalignment scenarios modeled.

03

Off-chain dApp pentest

Web/mobile dApp UI, RPC nodes, indexer APIs and admin tooling included.

Client benefits

What you get

  • Audit reports recognized by tier-1 launchpads, exchanges and underwriters.
  • Reduced bug-bounty severity post-launch.
  • Full stack coverage — contract, dApp and infra — in one engagement.
