Smart contract security

Rust Smart Contract Audit

Deep Rust security review for smart contracts and blockchain protocols, with special attention to Solana, Anchor, CosmWasm, NEAR, and Substrate environments.

Rust smart contract security is not the same problem as ordinary backend Rust. The audit has to account for account models, serialization boundaries, signer validation, ownership checks, cross-program calls, state transitions, and runtime-specific constraints.

CTDSEC treats Rust as a major smart contract auditing specialization while keeping the broader goal clear: protect protocol assets and users across any chain.

What CTDSEC reviews

The review is tailored to the target chain and codebase, but the audit always starts with assets at risk, trust boundaries, and the concrete ways the protocol can fail.

Audit focus

Rust Smart Contract Audit with manual review, tool-assisted coverage, and remediation support.

Manual reviewTool-assistedRemediation support

Audit Coverage

  • Unsafe Rust usage, dependency risk, and supply-chain assumptions
  • Integer arithmetic, overflow behavior, precision, and rounding
  • Serialization, deserialization, account layouts, and state validation
  • Signer validation, ownership checks, PDA validation, and access control
  • CPI security, arbitrary CPI, account confusion, and initialization paths
  • Cryptographic implementation risk and performance-security tradeoffs

Risk Areas

  • Account substitution or missing ownership checks
  • Incorrect PDA seeds, bumps, or authority derivation
  • State deserialization that accepts invalid or hostile data
  • CPI calls that trust attacker-controlled programs
  • Dependency or unsafe-code behavior outside normal test coverage

Deliverables

  • Rust-specific code review and runtime threat model
  • Finding details with exact validation and state-transition context
  • Remediation guidance for Solana, Anchor, CosmWasm, NEAR, or Substrate code
  • Optional verification of patched Rust contracts

Smart Contract Audit FAQ

Short answers for teams preparing an audit scope.

What does a rust smart contract audit include?

It includes scope confirmation, manual code review, tool-assisted analysis where useful, severity-ranked findings, remediation guidance, and a final report for the agreed disclosure model.

Can CTDSEC review fixes after the audit?

Yes. Fix verification can be included after the team remediates reported findings, using a new commit and a clear change summary.

How is a rust smart contract audit priced?

The quote depends on the agreed code scope, complexity, dependencies, and remediation review. Start with a project description; we can clarify repository access and timeline by email.
