Polkadot and Substrate Smart Contract Audit
Security review for Polkadot and Substrate projects, including Substrate pallets, runtime modules, ink! contracts, XCM integrations, and chain-specific attack paths.
Polkadot and Substrate audit focus
A Polkadot and Substrate smart contract audit should review code behavior and the execution model that surrounds it. CTDSEC checks how the protocol manages assets, state transitions, authorities, external calls, upgrades, and network-specific assumptions.
The review starts with the frozen commit and then follows the paths that can affect user funds, protocol solvency, governance execution, bridge safety, and emergency controls.

Smart Contract Audit FAQ
Short answers for teams preparing an audit scope.
What makes a Polkadot and Substrate audit different?
Polkadot and Substrate uses WASM runtime and Substrate, so the audit needs to account for runtime upgrades and privileged origins and pallet storage, weights, and hooks.
Which Polkadot and Substrate contracts can CTDSEC review?
CTDSEC can review Substrate pallets, runtime modules, ink! contracts, XCM integrations, staking and governance logic when the codebase, documentation, tests, and deployment assumptions are available.
Does CTDSEC only audit Polkadot and Substrate?
No. CTDSEC audits smart contracts across many ecosystems and keeps chain-specific pages connected to the broader smart contract audit process.
Request a Polkadot and Substrate smart contract audit
Send the repository, target network, language, documentation, and timeline so CTDSEC can scope the review accurately.
