🚨 VectorGuard Labs

Pre-Audit Security Assessments for Web3 Protocols

Why Choose VectorGuard Labs?

Web3 protocols face constant attacks from adversaries exploiting smart contracts, bridges, governance, and tokenomics.
Traditional audits identify coding errors, but they rarely simulate real attackers.

VectorGuard Labs provides thorough pre-audit security assessments using the comprehensive VectorGuard 338-vector attack framework to identify vulnerabilities before formal audits.

FAQ

How is this different from a formal audit?

Pre-audit security reviews focus on finding and fixing vulnerabilities before formal audits. We use comprehensive testing methodologies and work collaboratively with your team. Formal audits are compliance-focused and occur after your code is production-ready.

What exactly do I get for my 10000 + 1.50/LOC investment?

You'll receive a comprehensive security assessment including: systematic testing using the VectorGuard 338 attack vectors, detailed vulnerability reports with severity ratings, and specific remediation recommendations.

Do you work with all blockchain platforms or just Ethereum-based blockchains (EVM)?

VectorGuard Labs currently specializes in EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum, BASE, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC, etc.

What information does VectorGuard Labs need to get started?

We need your smart contract source code, documentation about intended functionality, any known dependencies or integrations, and testnet deployment details if available. We can work with private GitHub repos or secure file transfers.

How do I know my code and intellectual property will be protected?

We sign comprehensive NDAs before accessing any code and maintain strict confidentiality protocols. Your code is stored in encrypted, access-controlled environments and is deleted after engagement completion.

How long does a typical pre-audit security review take?

Most pre-audit reviews are completed within 1-2 weeks depending on protocol complexity, with detailed reports highlighting vulnerabilities and recommended fixes.

Will my contract go through all 338 attack vectors?

We analyze your protocol to identify which attack vectors from the VectorGuard framework are relevant to your specific implementation. Not all vectors apply to every protocol - we focus on those that pose actual risk to your system.

Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your findings?

While no security assessment can guarantee zero vulnerabilities, we provide thorough testing using proven methodologies. Our goal is to significantly reduce your security risk before formal audits.

If my test comes back positive, can I deploy my contract to mainnet?

No, VectorGuard Labs strongly recommend proceeding to a formal third-party audit before mainnet deployment. Our pre-audit assessment is designed to prepare you for a successful formal audit by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities early. The formal audit provides the final compliance certification needed for mainnet launch.

How do you count lines of code, and what counts as a "line"?

We count executable lines of code only. Comments and blank lines in your smart contract files do not count. We use standard tooling and provide you with the exact count before work begins.

I'm ready to get started!! What payment forms do you accept?

VectorGuard Labs is crypto-native and accepts USDC and USDT on the BASE blockchain (RECOMMENDED)—no traditional banking delays or conversion fees.

Our payment address is 0x993490281e8c9f90432a3D7dB677BeA27149f5F4.

Please send us the transaction hash after payment for verification.
