Cyfrin - Top Smart Contract Audit Company

Press Release • May 3, 2023

The world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology is rapidly evolving, and with it come several security risks. As the industry matures, smart contract audits become increasingly important to ensure that projects run securely and efficiently.



Cyfrin is at the forefront of this new blockchain security wave by offering developers and investors smart contract audit services. With experienced and certified professionals on staff, Cyfrin guarantees secure, reliable audits backed by industry best practices. 


In this article, we'll look into Cyfrin's ecosystem, mission, and the steps involved in a smart contract audit. Cyfrin’s core is the smart contract audit service, and the company’s offering also includes code reviewing and Web3 education.


What Is Cyfrin?

Cyfrin is a Web3 security company specializing in blockchain integrations, smart contract auditing, and educating developers. Their team is comprised of top competitive auditors, smart contract engineers who have written code that secures billions in DeFi, and have developed the most watched blockchain developer curriculum. 


Cyfrin has provided smart contract security to many projects in the industry, as well as trained thousands of developers worldwide. They are committed to providing world-class protection and education for their partners and projects. 


The Team Behind Cyfrin and Its Mission

The Cyfrin team consists of top engineers and auditors in the space. Each member brings a unique skill set to the table. For instance, we could mention Patrick's two FreeCodeCamp vides that have a combined ~5M views, and Hans's #1 ranking on Code4rena. 


Furthermore, Alex is an ex-Chainlink Labs engineer with experience integrating billions of dollars worth of DeFi. 0Kage and Carlos are Code4rena's top finishers, while Giovanni has a strong smart contract development, fuzz & invariant testing, and also a competitive auditor. 


By leveraging their expertise, Cyfrin strives to create a safe, reliable, and transparent environment in the Web3 and DeFi space. 


Smart Contract Audits

Smart contract audits are incredibly important in ensuring the security of your blockchain-based protocol and digital assets. 


By continuously auditing the code, businesses can stay ahead of attackers, always looking for vulnerabilities to exploit. Smart contract audits cover architecture design, coding standards, and security best practices.

Cyfrin is committed to helping businesses ensure the security of their protocols and digital assets through comprehensive audits. Cyfrin's team consists of experienced auditors with extensive knowledge of blockchain technology and smart contract development. 


As a result, they can provide clients with an in-depth review of their codebase. These audits can also identify potential risks and suggest best practices to improve the security of their protocol.


Code Review

Code reviews are at the core of the software development process. Reviews allow developers to ensure that their code is working correctly and efficiently. 


Code review is a great way to identify problems with the codebase early in the development process. Remember that these issues may become too difficult (or expensive) to fix as your project evolves. 

Developers can spot potential bugs with a code review, explain how their code works, and suggest improvements. Code review ensures that your software development project is on track and cost-effective.


Fuzz Testing

When reviewing a code, Cyfrin leverages strategies such as fuzz testing to identify potential issues that can result in vulnerabilities. 


Fuzz testing corresponds to a software testing technique providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as input to a computer program. Through this technique, Cyfrin helps developers identify hidden bugs, security flaws, and other problems with their codebase quickly and accurately. 


Web3 Education

Cyfrin does not only do code reviews and smart contract audits. The company has recently taken an educational stance on Web3 technology. 


Cyfrin’s CEO and Co-founder, Patrick Collins, has already produced two blockchain development courses on freeCodeCamp.org's YouTube page. 


These courses range from topics such as the fundamentals of blockchain to building a smart contract in Solidity. Cyfrin plans to build upon this expertise and create an even larger portfolio of Web3 educational resources for users. 


Through these efforts, Cyfrin strives to ensure users have the resources and knowledge needed to succeed in the DeFi/Web3 world. The company is working on launching the #1 Web3 developer education course. This plan intends to allow students to learn and master the technical aspects of blockchain development. 

Subscribing to the project's education website is an easy way to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in Web3 technology. 


How Does a Cyfrin Smart Contract Audit Work?

Cyfrin provides comprehensive smart contract audits to ensure the security of blockchain-based protocols and digital assets. Their process involves a 6 step approach, as outlined in the subsections below.


Step 1 - Price and Timeline

The Cyfrin smart contract audit process begins when a crypto team contacts the auditors. They discuss the audit's scope, which considers their code's complexity and size. Then they set a timeline and agree on a price for the audit. 


The time allocated to the audit often depends on how many lines of code the professionals will need to examine. Prices for audits can vary depending on who is conducting them. 


This phase is vital, as it helps establish a clear project understanding and ensures everyone is on the same page. This information creates an efficient process that can run effectively and efficiently. 


Step 2 - Lock Commit Hash, Starting Date, and Downpayment

The second phase in Cyfrin's workflow is to lock the commit hash, starting date, and downpayment. All parties must agree on these details to start the audit process. 


This ensures that all conclusions reached during the audit consider the same reference data set. These milestones make it possible to ensure the review of all aspects concerning the codebase. 


This will help to provide an accurate and reliable analysis of the project. All parties' commitment allows for an efficient process with a successful conclusion.


Step 3 - Beginning of the Audit Process

Cyfrin's smart contract audit work can begin following the first two steps. The company's engineers will lead the project, spending their time and resources thoroughly analyzing your contracts. 


Open communication is necessary to create a successful collaboration between Cyfrin and its partners. This ensures that everyone involved stays updated with the audit's progress and can address any potential concerns. With this effective partnership, Cyfrin will work to perform the audit with maximum efficiency. 


Step 4 - Initial Report

Another essential milestone in Cyfrin's smart contract audit process is the initial report. This report overviews the findings and categorizes issues as High, Medium, Low, or Informational. 


The findings always come with detailed explanations for further clarity. A call will then allow Cyfrin's engineers to ask questions about the results before fixing any identified problems. 


Different findings require different actions depending on the severity of the issue. Issues categorized as High are considered critical and should be at the top of the engineers' to-do list. 


Medium issues should also be looked into but may not require immediate action. Solving "Low" issues in later stages is often possible, as they do not pose a risk to smart contract operations. Lastly, Informational findings make users aware of potential risks so that they can take preventive measures. 


Step 5 - Mitigation Phase

At this point, Cyfrin's smart contract audit workflow introduces the mitigation phase. Following the audit report's suggestions, project engineers can fix security vulnerabilities. 


The mitigation steps may involve code updates and application architecture changes, with close collaboration between Cyfrin and the engineering team. This process helps ensure that the engineers address all remaining vulnerabilities before deployment. 


Step 6 - Final Audit Report

The smart contract audit process ends with the final audit report. Engineers will check the mitigations and update the report as "Acknowledged" or "Resolved," along with additional relevant information if necessary. 

Cyfrin will then sign off on the report, providing a comprehensive overview of all security issues. This step provides partners with peace of mind that their smart contracts have passed a thorough audit process. 


Final Thoughts - A Platform Determined to Make the World of DeFi and Blockchain Safer

Cyfrin is a company that provides the most comprehensive smart contract audit solution. It strives to make the world of DeFi and blockchain safer by finding potential security risks in the codebase. 


Through its thorough process, Cyfrin helps ensure that projects follow best practices to prevent common risks associated with smart contracts.


The need for secure, reliable smart contracts is only becoming more important as blockchain usage grows. Through Cyfrin's audit workflow, partners can have confidence in the security and accuracy of their projects.

ANOME Completes BNB Chain Integration, Ready to Activate “Meme Realms”

By Press Release • October 10, 2025
Web3 entertainment protocol ANOME has completed technical adaptation for BNB Chain and passed its first integration test, paving the way for ‘Meme Realms’ — a new feature that lets any BNB ecosystem meme coin launch its own stand-alone gaming universe in just one day. The milestone confirms full readiness for activation and marks a new phase in ANOME’s expansion and positions ANOME to expand into the BNB Chain GameFi and NFTFi ecosystem. Meme Realms Ready for Launch Meme Realms will be a modular system letting any BNB-ecosystem meme coin become its own on-chain game world within one day. Each Realm functions as an independent economy, where players mint, trade, and battle using that realm’s meme coin. Realms include NFT card assets, leaderboards, seasonal quests, and liquidity pools, all native to BNB Chain. “We’ve completed technical adaptation to the BNB Chain,” said an ANOME Product Lead. “Integrating a meme takes just one day — ready to activate anytime for rapid expansion.” Turning Meme Culture Into On-Chain Impact Every action inside a Realm (minting, selling, battling, and claiming rewards) occurs directly on the BNB Chain. Each meme coin Realm adds measurable transactions, liquidity, and user activity to the network. The design ensures economic isolation between Realms while maintaining full on-chain transparency. “Meme is culture,” an ANOME spokesperson said. “We convert that cultural energy into verifiable BNB Chain momentum - more users, more TVL, more real data.” The project’s key highlights include the following points: One-Day Onboarding : Any BNB meme coin can become an active Realm within 24 hours. Native Settlement : Players mint and trade directly in the meme coin of that Realm. BNB Impact Reports : ANOME will regularly publish metrics (every 30, 60, and 90 days) on its community. The reports will include active wallets, liquidity, and interactions, all on-chain. 3×3 PvP Battles : The project will let players compete using five NFT cards per match. The main thing to know here is that any defeated cards will be burned to sustain all the reward pools. Loss-Mining Rewards : Losing is not a “real loss” in this ecosystem. In fact, players will still earn time-released compensation tokens. ANOME’s integration expands the entertainment layer of BNB Chain. Each Realm generates verifiable usage, isolated liquidity, and transparent capital flows. The system channels meme-driven attention into measurable blockchain activity and strengthens BNB Chain’s GameFi and NFTFi sectors. About ANOME ANOME is a Web3 entertainment protocol bridging gaming, culture, and decentralized finance. Its core module combines NFT minting, 3×3 PvP card battles, and the Loss-Mining reward system. With full BNB Chain readiness, ANOME introduces Meme Realms. The initiative represents a fast, modular framework where meme communities evolve into complete, on-chain universes.
