Our security philosophy
Security through science, transparency, and trust
Founded in 2021 by a team of world-class academics, Veridise is the blockchain security company that’s audited some of the most critical protocols in the industry, including projects such as RISC Zero, Succinct, Linea, MINA, and more.
Built on research. Proven in practice.
We’re deeply rooted in academia and the formal methods research community. Our team continues to publish cutting-edge work on smart contract and zero-knowledge security. Explore our key papers on the Publications page.
Our security methodology
We apply the following methodology in our smart contract and ZK audits
Two auditors minimum per project
Every audit is handled by a team of at least two dedicated security researchers, not just a single analyst working in isolation.
Full codebase coverage by both auditors
Rather than dividing the code into separate silos, both auditors review the entire codebase. This means every line is seen by two independent sets of eyes — enabling a shared understanding of how all parts of the system interact.
Lead auditor with domain-specific expertise
Each audit is anchored by a lead auditor with deep knowledge of the specific language, framework, or protocol under review. This ensures the audit is grounded in recent domain-specific real-world experience.
Manual & tool-assisted review
We combine line-by-line manual code inspection with advanced tooling developed in-house. This hybrid approach lets us identify both logic-level vulnerabilities and subtle issues that tools or human reviewers alone might miss.
Peace of mind
At Veridise, we emphasize defense-in-depth, redundancy, and collaboration.
With the above methodology we improve bug discovery, reduce blind spots and provides our clients with greater confidence in their code.
The Veridise difference
At first glance, most security audit firms might seem similar. But once you dig deeper, critical differences emerge. In an industry where a single missed vulnerability can compromise your entire protocol, those differences matter.
Take audit methodology, for example. Many firms assign individual auditors to different parts of the codebase. One person reviews Module A, another handles Module B — but no one sees the whole picture. This siloed approach is easier to schedule, but it often misses architectural flaws that span multiple components. At Veridise, we prioritize full-context reviews to ensure system-wide vulnerabilities don’t slip through the cracks.
Tooling is another area where we stand out. Smaller firms or solo auditors often rely solely on publicly available open-source tools, which can miss deeper or more complex issues. At Veridise, over a third of our team is dedicated to building in-house analysis tools that can uncover more vulnerabilities. You can explore these tools on our Tools page.
