About CODESPECT

Security gaps between vendors cost protocols billions. CODESPECT closes them — one team with expertise across smart contracts, AI agents, human vectors, and live infrastructure.

CODESPECT is a blockchain security firm working primarily across EVM chains, Solana, and Starknet, with additional Fogo (SVM), Canton/Daml, and Sui coverage. The firm has delivered audits, penetration tests, and red team engagements for protocols holding over $4 billion in total value locked, including ETHSign, The Vault, and LST Olas.

Origin

Our Story

Codespect started as a group of competitive audit researchers who kept finding critical bugs others missed. After placing in top rankings on Cantina, CodeHawks, and Immunefi, we saw something bigger: protocols kept getting exploited not just through code, but through their infrastructure, their teams, and their AI integrations. We built CODESPECT to cover all of it — smart contract audits, penetration testing, AI red teaming, red team operations, monitoring, and OpSec. One team. No gaps between vendors.
