Smart contract audits
Manual review of code paths that move assets, authorize operations, settle balances, mint or burn tokens, route messages, or modify protocol state.
Base Security
Base Smart Contract Audit Services
ResearchZero provides Base smart contract audits, blockchain security reviews, protocol risk analysis, and infrastructure security for teams building on Base. Base provides Ethereum scaling for consumer finance, payments, DeFi applications, and institutional on-chain products.
Supported Environment
Base blockchain security review
Base reviews combine EVM contract security with L2 bridge assumptions, OP Stack behavior, account abstraction patterns, and production controls around high-volume user flows.
ResearchZero reviews the chain-specific execution model and the financial logic built on top of it. The goal is to identify exploitable code paths before production value, user assets, governance authority, or institutional operations depend on them.
Engagements can include pre-launch audits, targeted reviews of remediations, protocol architecture review, cross-chain integration assessment, and post-audit support for engineering teams preparing a production deployment.
Base risks we review
- Bridge and withdrawal assumptions
- OP Stack integration risk
- Upgradeable contract authority
- Smart wallet permissions
- High-volume user flow edge cases
Programming Environment
Base smart contract languages and tooling
Base runs EVM-compatible contracts on the OP Stack, so Solidity systems must account for L2 bridge behavior, sequencer assumptions, and OP Stack deployment patterns.
ResearchZero reviews both the source-level implementation and the execution environment around it: compiler behavior, deployment artifacts, transaction construction, permissions, upgrade paths, and the runtime assumptions that can change how production code behaves.

Base FAQ
Security review questions for Base
Does ResearchZero support Base?
Yes. ResearchZero supports Base security reviews for smart contracts, protocol logic, infrastructure, and institutional financial applications.
What code and systems can be reviewed?
We review Solidity and EVM-compatible contracts, protocol architecture, privileged operations, deployment controls, integrations, custody flows, and chain-specific assumptions.
When should a Base audit happen?
Schedule review before mainnet deployment, major upgrades, new asset support, bridge integrations, custody changes, or any release that changes how value moves through the system.
