What projects need a blockchain protocol audit?
Modular Blockchains
Modular blockchains have stand-alone purposes, so other blockchains can tap into them. They can be a settlement layer, consensus layer, or any other blockchain layer. They often have complex architecture due to their robust systems.
DeFi Bridges
Highly technical DeFi bridges often suffice as protocols. They always have millions of funds in their vaults. Prime target of hackers.
Monolithic Blockchains
Monolithic blockchains stack up the consensus layer, settlement layer, execution layer, and application layer within a single blockchain.Their architecture is always more complex and susceptible to hacks.
