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.
Solana Security
Solana Smart Contract Audit Services
ResearchZero provides Solana smart contract audits, blockchain security reviews, protocol risk analysis, and infrastructure security for teams building on Solana. Solana supports high-throughput financial applications, exchanges, payments, token programs, and consumer-scale on-chain systems.
Supported Environment
Solana blockchain security review
Solana security reviews focus on account validation, signer authority, PDA derivation, CPI boundaries, Anchor constraints, rent and lamport handling, and assumptions created by parallel execution.
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.
Solana risks we review
- Account validation flaws
- PDA misuse
- CPI privilege escalation
- Unsafe account ownership assumptions
- State initialization issues
Programming Environment
Solana smart contract languages and tooling
Solana programs run against an account model where executable programs receive explicit accounts, signer flags, ownership metadata, and instruction data.
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.

Solana FAQ
Security review questions for Solana
Does ResearchZero support Solana?
Yes. ResearchZero supports Solana security reviews for smart contracts, protocol logic, infrastructure, and institutional financial applications.
What code and systems can be reviewed?
We review Rust, Anchor, and native Solana programs, protocol architecture, privileged operations, deployment controls, integrations, custody flows, and chain-specific assumptions.
When should a Solana 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.
