Smart Contract Audits from the World’s Top Researchers
Sherlock mobilizes elite auditors and the largest researcher community in Web3 to uncover vulnerabilities others miss.
Our model blends speed, depth, and incentives, helping protocols launch their code securely and confidently.
Leading Protocols Trust Sherlock for Audits
Sherlock's audit model is built on performance-based team assembly. Researchers are matched to protocols based on demonstrated expertise in specific architectures.
Lending protocols are audited by researchers with proven track records on lending systems. DEXs by DEX specialists. L2s by L2 experts. Every engagement is staffed based on architectural fit, not availability.
PRIVATE AUDITS
BUILT FOR PROTOCOLS
SHIPPING REAL VALUE
Sherlock's private audits pair your protocol with researchers selected for your specific codebase, threat model, and domain.
The result is a deeper review of how your system behaves under live conditions.
Matched to your codebase
Researchers are chosen by language, protocol type, and proven performance on similar systems.
Reviews focus on how your contracts, incentives, integrations, and assumptions behave once live.
Built to think like attackers
Our security team works directly with yours to clarify risk, prioritize fixes, and move issues into remediation faster.

Faster fixes
REAL PROTOCOLS. REAL SUCCESS STORIES.
"Rock solid security has always been a priority for MakerDAO. Over time, it's become one of the defining features of the project. It only makes sense that the team would work with the market leader, Sherlock."
"Optimism's codebase was audited by the best in the industry before coming to Sherlock, and the Sherlock audit contest still surfaced unique issues that we were grateful to learn about before deploying."
"Having used both audit firms and other contest audit platforms, we have found the auditors in Sherlock's contests to be exceptional - finding numerous complex and subtle bugs that had otherwise gone unnoticed."
Audit Scope — Work with Sherlock to clarify what needs review, how deep the audit should go, and where the biggest risks may be.
Pricing + Timeline — Get clear expectations on cost, timing, deliverables, and launch fit.
Researcher Fit — Our team will match your protocol with proven experts based on architecture, language, and domain.
