Pricing FAQ
Do you offer discounts for multiple audits?
Yes! We offer volume discounts for clients who need multiple audits or ongoing work. Bundle packages save 15-20%. Contact us to discuss custom pricing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept wire transfer, stablecoins (USDC/USDT on Ethereum/Polygon), and cryptocurrency (ETH/BTC). Payment terms are 50% upfront, 50% upon delivery.
What's included in the 30-day fix verification?
After you fix the issues we found, we'll re-audit those specific sections at no charge to verify the fixes are secure. This is included in all audit packages.
Do you offer rush audits?
Yes, for an additional 50% fee we can prioritize your audit and deliver in 24-48 hours for small contracts. Contact us for availability.
Can I upgrade from a one-time audit to a retainer?
Absolutely! We'll credit 100% of your audit cost toward the first month of a retainer if you upgrade within 30 days. This makes trying our services risk-free.
Do you sign NDAs and confidentiality agreements?
Yes, we routinely sign mutual NDAs with a standard 5-year term. All client code and findings are kept strictly confidential unless you request public disclosure.
What's your liability coverage?
We carry $5M in professional indemnity insurance. Our liability is capped at 1-3x the audit fee depending on the engagement. We can provide insurance certificates upon request.
What happens if you miss a vulnerability?
While we maintain rigorous quality standards and a 100% post-audit success rate, if an issue we should have caught is exploited, we'll conduct a full review at no charge and assist with remediation. Our reputation is built on thoroughness.
Can I get a legal-format report for insurance or investors?
Yes! For an additional $1,000, we can format your audit report for legal compliance, insurance claims, or investor due diligence. This includes enhanced documentation and expert testimony availability.
What's included in retainer support?
Retainers include ongoing code review, security consulting, architecture feedback, Slack/Discord integration, and priority response times. See retainer tiers above for specific SLAs.
Can I get service credits if you miss an SLA?
Yes, if we breach a guaranteed SLA (delivery timeline, response time, etc.), you'll receive service credits toward future work. Details are specified in the engagement contract.
Do you offer payment plans for larger audits?
Yes, for audits over $15K or enterprise retainers, we can arrange custom payment schedules. Typically 25% upfront, 50% at midpoint, 25% on delivery. Contact us to discuss.
What's the difference between an audit and penetration testing?
Audits focus on code review and static analysis. Penetration testing simulates real-world attacks on your deployed protocol, including infrastructure, APIs, and economic attack vectors. We recommend both for comprehensive security.
Can I see a sample audit report?
Yes! We can provide anonymized sample reports during the sales process. Contact us to request examples relevant to your project type (DeFi, gaming, NFTs, etc.).
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes, we've worked with several DeFi insurance providers and can format reports to meet their requirements. We can also coordinate directly with your insurance carrier for claims or underwriting.
