How RedVolt's AI audit engine dissected a $65K Code4rena contest target — analyzing 18 risk areas across 6 attack categories, verifying each with Foundry PoCs, and confirming the codebase's defense-in-depth. A comparison against Zellic's V12 AI auditor reveals the difference between finding bugs and understanding security.
We benchmarked our AI audit engine against Jito Restaking — a 9,000-line Rust/Solana protocol that was the subject of four professional audits and a $150,000 Immunefi bug bounty competition. This is RedVolt's first Rust/Solana benchmark, and the results exceeded our expectations.
We benchmarked our AI audit engine against a real Code4rena contest. Every high and medium finding detected. Every PoC verified by Foundry. 100% severity accuracy. Here are the full results.
22 Solidity files. 2,332 lines of code. 6 high-severity bugs. Our AI engine found every single one — outperforming 90% of the 144 human wardens in the original Code4rena contest.
Reentrancy, flash loan exploits, share inflation, gas DoS, access control — our AI engine caught every vulnerability class across 7 battle-tested CTF challenges. With proof-of-concept for each.
ERC-4337 smart wallets now control billions in on-chain value, but most audits still treat them like regular contracts. Here are the bundler, paymaster, and session-key bugs we keep finding — and how to test for them before shipping.
Bridge exploits haven't gone away — they've just gotten more subtle. Signature replay, nonce collision, and chain-id confusion are still draining millions in 2026. Here's what modern audits need to check.
Your contract is secure. Your dependencies aren't. A look at how malicious Foundry plugins, poisoned npm packages, and hijacked Solidity libraries are the smart contract attack vector of 2026.
AI-first auditing catches 90%+ of findings faster than any human can. But the last 10% — the business-logic flaws that cost millions — still need a human. Three real cases from our 2026 engagements.
Behind the scenes of a hybrid AI + human smart contract audit — what the scoping call covers, how one expert stays on your project end-to-end, and what the final report actually contains.
A detailed technical walkthrough of how flash loan attacks work, real-world examples, and how to protect your DeFi protocol from this unique attack vector.
Liquidation is the safety valve of DeFi lending. When it fails, protocols become insolvent. Here's how liquidation works, what goes wrong, and how to audit it.
DeFi's greatest strength — permissionless composability — is also its greatest vulnerability. Here's how protocol interactions create systemic risk.
The essential pre-deployment checklist every smart contract team should follow — covering code quality, common vulnerabilities, and what auditors look for.
A data-driven look at Web3 security in 2026 — what's improving, what's getting worse, and where the industry needs to focus.
Deploying on an L2 rollup isn't the same as deploying on Ethereum mainnet. Here are the security differences that catch teams off guard.
The recurring security issues that appear in almost every DeFi protocol we audit — from price oracle manipulation to flash loan attacks.
Upgradeable contracts let you fix bugs after deployment — but they also introduce new attack surfaces. Here's how to use upgrade patterns securely.
Maximal Extractable Value costs DeFi users billions annually. Here's how MEV works, why it matters for protocol security, and how to protect your users.
On-chain governance is a powerful decentralization tool — and a prime target for attackers. Here's how governance attacks work and how to prevent them.
Launching a token? This checklist covers the security pitfalls that have cost projects millions — from contract vulnerabilities to launch-day exploits.
Cross-chain bridges have been the most exploited category in Web3. Here's what keeps going wrong — and how to build bridges that don't collapse.
Formal verification mathematically proves your contract behaves as intended. Here's what it is, when you need it, and how to get started.
Not all smart contract audits are created equal. Here's how to evaluate auditors, what to look for in proposals, and red flags to avoid.
The essential security patterns every Solidity developer should know — from access control to safe math, with code-level guidance and real-world context.
NFTs involve complex smart contract logic — minting, royalties, marketplace interactions, and metadata. Here are the security risks most teams overlook.
Reentrancy caused the first major DeFi hack in 2016. A decade later, it's still happening — in new and surprising forms. Here's the full story.
The audit report isn't the finish line — it's the starting line. Here's how to maintain and improve your security posture after the auditors leave.
