Why Solana projects need professional audits

Solana’s account model, CPI patterns, and runtime constraints introduce risk classes that don’t map cleanly to EVM-style audits. A Solana audit needs reviewers who are fluent in Rust patterns and Solana-specific threat models.

2025 reality check

$4.0B was lost. $512.0M (12.8%) came from smart contract vulnerabilities, while $2.12B (53%) came from access-control failures.

Translation:

code still causes massive losses – but the biggest damage comes from broken authorization and key/control paths. That’s why our Solana audit focuses heavily on who can do what, under which constraints, and how funds move.

Critical Solana vulnerabilities we audit for (and why this matters)

1

Untrusted accounts & authority checks

We validate owner + signer requirements and critical account relationships so attackers can’t swap in look-alike “config/vault/user” accounts to take control.

2

Type cosplay & broken invariants

We confirm the right account type, expected addresses, and SPL account properties – especially where “bytes that deserialize” can become “funds that leave”.

3

CPI safety

We harden CPI call paths by verifying program IDs and constraining accounts – so your program can’t be tricked into authorizing attacker-controlled logic.

4

Math, precision & accounting edge cases

We test overflow/underflow, truncation, and rounding issues that can silently break balances, fees, or collateral logic.

5

Token authority & Token-2022 extension risks

We verify mint/burn/freeze/delegate controls, SPL account validation, and extension behaviors that can introduce unexpected privilege or transfer paths.

6

Upgrades, admin controls & migrations

We analyze upgrade paths, pausability, accounts model changes, and migration safety – code changes introduce a critical risk once real user funds are live.

What you get from a Hacken Solana smart contract audit

1

Prioritized findings your engineers can ship against

Clear severity, impact, and fix guidance – structured for fast triage and remediation.

2

Verifiable PoCs for High/Critical issues

For severe findings, we include exploit descriptions as verifiable scenarios so your team (and stakeholders) can understand real-world risk.

3

A report you can share with partners and exchanges

A clean audit narrative: scope, system overview, risks, findings, definitions, fuzz/invariant results if applied.

4

Remediation verification

You can submit in-scope remediations within two weeks; we re-check fixes, confirm they don't introduce new risks, and update statuses for the final report.

5

Real-time visibility in Hacken Portal

Track progress, collaborate with the team, and manage findings in one place with role-based involvement and live tracking.

2.1 Manual review with double coverage: auditors perform a simultaneous line-by-line review to reduce human error and improve consistency.

2.2 Automated scanning: static/dynamic tools complement the manual review and catch common patterns early.

2.3 Fuzz and invariant: fuzzing and invariant testing to uncover unexpected behaviors and broken rules.

3.1 Findings are recorded in a secure reporting portal and shared in real time, enabling early prioritization and remediation planning.

3.2 For High/Critical issues, the report includes exploit scenarios to make the impact verifiable.

4.1 After the initial report, we verify that fixes resolve the issues and don't introduce new risks, then publish a final comprehensive report.

4.2 A dedicated QA step validates severity accuracy, reproducibility, consistency, and completeness.

This step is optional and can be added after the audit if additional assurance is needed.

5.1 Extended security validation: combines a traditional audit with crowdsourced security testing to increase coverage beyond a single review cycle.

5.2 Real-world attack simulation: independent researchers test the system under live conditions to surface edge cases and overlooked attack paths.

5.3 Post-audit assurance: useful after fixes, upgrades, or before launch, listings, and external due diligence.

FAQ

A Solana audit typically includes scope alignment, manual line-by-line review, tool-assisted analysis, and remediation verification. Because Solana has a different execution model than EVM chains, an effective audit focuses on account validation, signer/authority checks, PDA safety, CPI security, and state transitions – plus business-logic risks tied to fund-moving flows.
Common vulnerabilities include account validation gaps, broken signer/authority checks, unsafe PDA derivation/seed validation, risky CPI flows (wrong program IDs or privilege escalation), and state transition / business-logic errors in fund-moving instructions.
Most Solana audits take a few weeks, depending on scope, code readiness, and how quickly fixes are implemented. Timelines are driven by program complexity (instructions, CPI dependencies) and whether you need a remediation review and final report.
Pricing depends on scope and complexity: number of programs/instructions, CPI dependencies, upgradeability, and how mature your tests/docs are. The fastest way to get an accurate estimate is to share your repo (or a private archive), target timeline, and what's in scope. We'll reply with a scoped quote and timeline.
It's optional. Many teams keep reports private for stakeholders; others publish reports to strengthen user trust, partner due diligence, or ecosystem requirements. You decide what to disclose and when.
