Our Process

How We Work Together

A structured approach to embedding security into your development lifecycle.

1

Discovery

Understand your project, team, and security requirements.

2

Integration

Embed engineers into your team and development workflow.

3

Architecture Review

Comprehensive review of system design and threat modeling.

4

Continuous Development

Ongoing code review, guidance, and security integration.

5

Pre-Audit Preparation

Ensure code is audit-ready with documented security measures.

6

Knowledge Transfer

Upskill your team with security best practices.

Why Co-Development

Build Secure From Day One

Traditional audits find problems after they're built. Co-development prevents them from being created in the first place, saving time, money, and reducing risk.

Our embedded approach means security is woven into every decision, every line of code, and every architecture choice—not bolted on at the end.

Key Benefits

Catch vulnerabilities during development, not after deployment
Reduce audit time and costs with pre-audited code
Build security expertise within your team
Ensure architecture decisions consider security from the start
Get expert guidance on complex security challenges
Maintain continuous security coverage throughout development
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional audits happen after development is complete, often requiring significant rework to fix issues. Co-development embeds security expertise throughout development, preventing vulnerabilities from being introduced in the first place. This results in faster audits, lower costs, and more secure code.

Our embedded engineers work as trusted team members with access to your codebase, development tools, and communication channels. We sign comprehensive NDAs and follow strict confidentiality protocols. Access levels are customized based on your security requirements.

Absolutely. Our engineers are experienced in collaborating with diverse development teams. We adapt to your existing workflows, tools, and processes while bringing security expertise that complements your team's skills.

We support all major blockchain platforms including Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and others. Our engineers are proficient in Solidity, Rust, Move, Go, and TypeScript, and experienced with frameworks like Foundry, Hardhat, and Anchor.

Engagement length varies based on project scope. Typical full-embed engagements run 3 to 6 months aligned with development cycles. Part-time embeds and advisory arrangements can be ongoing or project-based. We're flexible to match your needs.

We recommend a final audit even with co-development, but it will be significantly faster and cheaper. Because code is developed with security in mind and continuously reviewed, the final audit typically finds minimal issues and serves as independent validation.
