Overview

Audit readiness prepares an entire Web3 system — not just contracts — for independent review: threat models, specifications, test coverage, static analysis, dependency reviews, deployment and upgrade procedures, and known-issue documentation. We deliver audit readiness as a structured engagement and support remediation after audits by independent firms.

Common use cases

  • First audit preparationReadiness for a new protocol.
  • Institutional due diligencePreparing for partner security reviews.
  • Re-audit readinessPreparing upgrades for review.
  • Security documentationDocumentation for stakeholders.

Quick answers

Audit Readiness at a glance

The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.

What is audit readiness?
Get audit-ready: documentation, tests, threat models, fixes and code freeze — so independent audits go deeper.
Who is it for?
Typically Web3 startups, fintechs adding digital assets, and institutions exploring tokenization, stablecoins or on-chain settlement.
What does Shivacha provide?
  • Readiness assessment
  • Documentation
  • Testing uplift
  • Static analysis
  • Operational docs
  • Remediation support
Which technologies are used?
Solidity, Foundry, OpenZeppelin, MPC Cryptography, OWASP, Prometheus — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
How does the process work?
Scope → Threat modelling → Review & testing → Remediation → Operate.
What affects the cost?
  • Contract complexity and number of chains
  • Custody and wallet model
  • Independent audit scope
  • Indexing, analytics and back-office tooling
  • Compliance integrations (KYC, AML, Travel Rule)
  • Upgradeability and governance requirements
How long does it take?
A focused contract system or dApp MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks plus independent audit time; institutional platforms usually take 4–9 months.

Architecture

Engineered right from day one

The layers we typically design for Web3 security engineering, adapted to your stack and partners.

  • Independent audits still matterOur work prepares for, and complements, third-party audits.
  • Beyond the contractMany losses come from keys, frontends and operations, not code.
  • Economic securityOracle manipulation and incentive attacks modelled explicitly.
  • Response readinessPausing, upgrades and communication planned before incidents.

Delivery

How an engagement runs

  1. 1

    Scope

    Assets at risk, components and adversaries.

  2. 2

    Threat modelling

    Attack trees across contracts, keys, infrastructure and economics.

  3. 3

    Review & testing

    Code review, fuzzing, invariant testing and infrastructure checks.

  4. 4

    Remediation

    Prioritised findings and fixes, re-tested.

  5. 5

    Operate

    Monitoring, alerting and incident runbooks.

Security

Security built into delivery

Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.

Specification first

Roles, invariants and threat model documented before code.

Adversarial testing

Fuzz, invariant and fork tests plus static analysis on every change.

Key management

Admin keys in multisig or MPC with timelocks on sensitive actions.

Independent audit

Code prepared for — and we recommend — an external audit before mainnet value.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does audit readiness guarantee a clean audit?

No, but it reduces basic findings and lets auditors focus on complex risks.

Do you audit the code yourselves?

We perform internal review as part of readiness; independent audits are performed by third-party firms.

Is this the same as a smart contract audit?

No. We provide security engineering, internal review and audit preparation. For production contracts holding meaningful value, independent audits by specialist firms remain essential.

Do you monitor deployed contracts?

Yes. We set up on-chain monitoring and alerting for anomalous transactions, privileged function calls and parameter changes.
