Built by Security Specialists Who Know What's at Stake
We started Cryptaryx-creaters after watching too many blockchain projects collapse from preventable vulnerabilities. Our team spent years securing financial systems before crypto existed — and we've been auditing smart contracts since Ethereum's early days.
How We Got Here
Back when smart contracts were still experimental, we were the skeptics asking uncomfortable questions. Questions like: what happens when this code holds millions of dollars? Who's actually checking these systems?
Turns out, not many people were. So we started doing it ourselves — first for projects we worked on, then for clients who needed someone to find problems before hackers did. That informal work became our full practice by 2018.
Now we've reviewed hundreds of contracts and seen nearly every attack vector imaginable. Some we caught before deployment. Others... well, that's why we're still here doing this.
What Drives Our Work
Security audits shouldn't be checkbox exercises. They need to account for economic incentives, edge cases in protocol design, and the reality that attackers are creative.
We approach each project assuming someone will try to break it — because they will. Our job is finding those vulnerabilities first and helping teams build systems that can withstand real-world pressure.
That means going beyond automated tools. It means understanding what the code actually does, not just what it's supposed to do. And it means being honest when something isn't ready for production.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Most audit firms focus on finding bugs. We focus on understanding how systems fail — and that requires a different perspective entirely.
Economic Attack Modeling
We don't just test code paths. We model economic scenarios where malicious actors profit from exploiting protocol mechanics.
This caught a flash loan vulnerability in a DeFi protocol that passed three other audits. The code worked fine — the economic incentives were broken.
Cross-Contract Analysis
Modern DeFi systems interact with dozens of external contracts. We trace those dependencies to find cascading failure modes that isolated testing misses.
One audit uncovered that a "safe" protocol became exploitable when a partner protocol's oracle was manipulated. These interactions matter.
Adversarial Testing Scenarios
Our team includes former penetration testers who think like attackers. We design test cases around profit motives, not just technical edge cases.
This mindset has identified attack vectors that automated tools and conventional testing wouldn't surface — because they require understanding incentive structures.
Post-Deployment Monitoring
Security doesn't end at launch. We help teams establish monitoring systems that detect suspicious patterns in production environments.
Several clients avoided major incidents because our monitoring caught unusual transaction patterns early — before significant damage occurred.
The Principles That Guide Every Audit
Independence
We don't invest in projects we audit. No conflicts. No compromises on findings.
Transparency
Clients see our full methodology and reasoning. No black box assessments.
Practicality
We prioritize findings by actual risk. Not everything is critical — but critical issues need immediate attention.
