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.
Canton Security
Canton Smart Contract Audit Services
ResearchZero provides Canton smart contract audits, blockchain security reviews, protocol risk analysis, and infrastructure security for teams building on Canton. Canton supports institutional digital asset workflows, privacy-preserving settlement, tokenized assets, and regulated financial market infrastructure.
Supported Environment
Canton blockchain security review
Canton reviews focus on Daml contract logic, participant permissions, privacy boundaries, settlement workflows, authorization rules, interoperability assumptions, and operational controls around institutional deployments.
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.

Programming Environment
Canton smart contract languages and tooling
Canton applications are commonly written with Daml contracts and deployed into participant-based workflows with privacy, authorization, and synchronization boundaries.
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.
