About SC Audit Studio

SC Audit Studio was founded in 2024 to make smart contract security easy to understand while providing rigorous security research and penetration testing for DeFi protocols. We believe security should be transparent, data-driven, and accessible to everyone.

As an open, independent research lab, we are committed to helping protocols raise their security standards and giving the broader ecosystem a reliable way to evaluate on-chain risk. We have assessed the security performance of hundreds of DeFi protocols, published in-depth research, and conducted more than 45 full audits.

Our international team brings core contributors and independent researchers together. We are headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.
