Security Audits for Zero-Knowledge & Cryptographic Systems
We find the bugs that matter in ZK circuits, proof systems, and cryptographic protocols, before they reach production.
Our audits go deep into the cryptography itself, not just the surrounding code. We review circuit constraints, soundness and zero-knowledge properties, protocol design, and implementation, and we report findings teams can act on.
What we audit
We specialize in cryptography-heavy codebases and zero-knowledge proof system implementations. Our work spans three layers, and we can engage at any one of them — a single layer, or all three, depending on what your project needs:
- The proof system implementation — the concrete implementation of schemes such as Groth16, PLONK, Halo, Bulletproofs, and their variants, including the underlying finite-field and elliptic-curve arithmetic.
- The arithmetic circuits encoding the zero-knowledge statements being proved — where a single missing or under-constrained wire can silently break soundness and let a prover forge a valid proof for a false statement.
- The protocol surrounding the scheme — commitment schemes, Fiat-Shamir transcripts, nullifier and note constructions, key derivation, signature schemes, and the transaction logic that ties them together.
Languages and ecosystems
We work primarily in Rust — with additional experience in C++ and Go — across the Zcash, Ethereum, and Solana ecosystems. Our engineers have shipped production shielded-transaction code themselves, so we understand the design decisions and trade-offs developers face — and we catch the gaps between what the specification requires and what the code enforces.
How a cryptography audit works
Every engagement starts from the specification. We compare the implementation against the spec line by line, reason about the security properties each component is relied on for — collision resistance, binding and hiding, zero-knowledge — and check that the constraint system enforces exactly what the protocol requires: no more and no less. When a scheme isn't fully specified, we can help close that gap as part of the audit — we've worked with teams to put a proper specification together first, then audited the implementation against it. You receive a written report with severity-rated findings, concrete reproductions, and actionable recommendations.
