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.
The comprehensive security checklist for DeFi protocols launching in 2026 — covering smart contracts, access control, oracle design, monitoring, and incident response.
A step-by-step guide from internal testing through external audit to post-launch monitoring. Don't deploy without this checklist.
From $3,000 token audits to $250,000 cross-chain engagements — here's what smart contract audits actually cost in 2026 and what drives the price.
AI audits are faster and cheaper. Human audits catch business logic flaws. Here's exactly where each excels, where each fails, and why the hybrid approach wins.
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.
Upgradeable contracts let you fix bugs after deployment — but they also introduce new attack surfaces. Here's how to use upgrade patterns securely.
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.
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.
NFTs involve complex smart contract logic — minting, royalties, marketplace interactions, and metadata. Here are the security risks most teams overlook.
