Protocol Architecture Review
We reconstruct the protocol from whitepapers, specifications, and source code. The goal is to identify every trust assumption, privileged role, and state transition that could be challenged.
We evaluate whether an entire Layer-1 protocol is correctly designed, correctly implemented, cryptographically sound, and resistant to adversarial behaviour under realistic operating conditions.
We reconstruct the protocol from whitepapers, specifications, and source code. The goal is to identify every trust assumption, privileged role, and state transition that could be challenged.
Every Layer-1 faces a common set of adversaries: byzantine validators, eclipse attackers, partitioners, resource exhausters, and implementation-level exploiters. We model each against the protocol's specific design.
Assumptions are scored by risk: what is the cost to violate them, what is the impact if they break, and what evidence exists that they hold in production? Weak assumptions become test priorities.
A real engagement produces a Protocol Digital Twin, adversarial test results, a risk-scored finding list, and a remediation roadmap. Every finding is tied to evidence from the model or the implementation.
