Show your investors the audit they expect.
Investors don’t actually want a “report”; they want the psychological insurance of knowing you’ve survived a forensic mugging. They want the drama of the exploit-path narrative and the quiet authority of a signed PDF.
Most incumbents treat an audit like a luxury watch; they make it expensive and slow just to signal “quality,” charging fifty thousand dollars for the privilege of waiting one month. It’s a total failure of imagination.
We’ve tinkered with the trade-offs. By stripping away the overhead of the “Big Firm” mahogany desks, we deliver severity-ranked findings and line-level citations in under a week, not eight. It’s the same forensic depth, just delivered with an “unreasonable” degree of speed and a price tag that feels like a glitch in the matrix.
How we audit, in four moves.
Same shape as the incumbents. Different velocity. Same shape because the work that protects users hasn’t changed; different velocity because we built tooling that the incumbents have not.
Agree the numbers before we start.
Code review goals, in-scope contracts, threat-model assumptions, deliverable format, fixed price. Nothing about the engagement is unclear after this conversation.
Six engines, in parallel.
Slither, Mythril, Echidna, Manticore, our own ruleset, and AI interpretation. Run together against a labeled corpus of fourteen-thousand-plus historical audits.
AI consensus engine reads the code line by line.
Walks the threat model. Tests the assumptions. Adversarial reasoning at machine speed, not just symbolic execution. Six engines converge into one sealed verdict.
Signed deliverable, plus the fix loop.
Severity-ranked findings, code citations, exploit narratives, suggested fixes. Re-test each fix when you ship it, included for thirty days, no extra charge.
The artifact, in detail.
Six deliverables you can hand to investors, exchanges, and your own team. Every one of them designed to be useful past the day we ship it.
Signed PDF report
Fifty-to-one-hundred pages, contract-specific. Severity-ranked findings, code citations, exploit narratives, remediation guidance. The artifact your investors and exchanges expect.
Findings spreadsheet (CSV)
Sortable, filterable, attachable to GitHub issues. The format your engineering team actually wants to work with.
Public verifiable URL
ghostlabs.asia/c/[chain]/[address], permanent, dated, signed. Buyers can verify the audit happened, by whom, and on which version.
On-chain attestation
Soulbound token minted to the audited contract address. Permanent marketing surface, queryable by any wallet or aggregator.
Executive summary
Single page, board-ready. Headline finding, risk score, remediation path, what an investor needs to know in two minutes.
Free remediation re-test
When you fix the findings, we re-audit the patches at no charge for thirty days. The follow-through that makes the audit actually useful.
When we say different, we mean it.
These aren’t industry averages. They’re the operating numbers of our practice, today.
The questions buyers actually ask.
We’ve attempted to be exhaustive, but the universe of human error is remarkably creative. So tell us more.
Same depth of work; one-tenth the price; one-eighth the turnaround. The big firms operate a junior-staffing model that has to bill for every hour. We operate an automation-leverage model where six engines do the brute-force pattern matching and the senior auditor focuses on the design-level reasoning that genuinely requires a human. The signed PDF, the on-chain attestation, the public URL, and the re-test are all included.
Yes. We audit both the proxy and the implementation, separately and together. We also explicitly model the storage layout collision risks that proxies introduce, the upgrade governance surface, and the “what could the next implementation do” question. The report distinguishes findings against the current implementation from findings against the upgrade pattern itself.
For thirty days after the original report ships, we re-audit any remediation you push at no charge. After that, you’re welcome to commission a follow-up engagement at our standard rate, or move to our continuous monitoring tier, which catches new findings as they emerge from upgrades, ownership changes, and on-chain behaviour.
Both. Most engagements happen pre-deployment, you give us the source via a private GitHub link, we audit, you ship the patched version. Some engagements happen post-deployment for projects that shipped without an audit and need to retroactively pass an exchange or investor diligence bar. The work is the same; only the deliverable framing changes.
Thirty-five chains across six VM families. All twenty-nine major EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Linea, Scroll, zkSync, Mantle, Blast, and others) for Solidity and Vyper. Solana (Rust + Anchor), TRON, TON, Sui, Aptos, and Stacks are all live. EVM chains receive full static analysis and symbolic execution. Non-EVM chains receive chain-specific API intelligence and behavioral analysis. If your stack is not on this list, the Get-a-quote form has a free-text field, and we’ll tell you within twenty-four hours whether we can take it.
Fixed-price engagements based on lines of in-scope code, contract complexity, and depth required. A typical token contract or simple staking pool prices in the low-single-figure thousands. A complex DeFi protocol prices in the low-five-figure thousands. The scoping conversation produces a fixed quote before any work starts, no hourly billing surprises.
