Building a new protocol or core mechanism from scratch and want an independent security perspective before writing production code.
Early-stage teams
Expanding scope, reworking architecture or adding a new module, and want to de-risk the design before committing to implementation.
Live protocol, major update
Architecture is where the most expensive vulnerabilities live. Addressing them before production code exists is always the cheaper path.
Security starts at the design stage
[ Scope & Deliverables ]
The assessment covers an explicitly agreed scope and prioritises the risks that matter most at this stage, delivering clear, actionable findings.
What we assess
Architectural analysis
Identification and validation of the core invariants the system must hold.
Protocol invariants
Trust assumptions, attacker models, and critical attack surfaces.
Threat modelling
Focused review of potential vulnerabilities within the agreed scope.
Targeted vulnerability analysis
System-level module review and how components interact.
What you get
Covers defined scope and exclusions, protocol and architecture overview, threat model with key trust assumptions, material security considerations with suggested remediation, explicit limitations, current security and risk posture, readiness for a full-scope audit, and recommended next security milestones. Includes a concise Security Memo for Data Room sharing.
The MixBytes team was highly engaged throughout the audit, consistently available and proactive with insightful questions that demonstrated a deep understanding of the protocol. Their commitment to a thorough review, high level of expertise, adherence to deadlines, and professional approach made the audit process smooth and effective.

We’ve been working with MixBytes since 2020, and they’ve audited all of our core systems: DEX, lending and stablecoin infrastructure, as well as the DAO and Hybrid Vaults within Yield Basis. They’ve developed a strong understanding of our architecture, making each audit more efficient. A reliable, consistent security partner whose context and collaboration we highly value.

We really enjoyed working with a proactive and communicative team. Their flexibility with timelines was something we greatly appreciated. Compared to other auditors we’ve worked with or heard about, the MixBytes team is undoubtedly in the top 10%.
Fedor Chmilev
The overall impression was very positive. The audit report was thorough and of high quality, allowing us to reflect on some critical aspects of the implementation. Communication was excellent.
