Audits That
Match Your Stack.

Expert-led security reviews for early-stage crypto protocols — ZK circuits, EigenLayer AVS, and Solidity contracts — at pricing structured for teams building before they are funded.

Now Accepting New Engagements: Maarai Labs is currently accepting a limited number of new security engagements. Intake is intentionally limited to ensure every client receives the depth of review their protocol deserves.

The Problem

Blockchain Security Is Broken for Early-Stage Protocols

The Web3 ecosystem lost over $3.1 billion in H1 2025 alone. Smart contract bugs, ZK circuit vulnerabilities, and AVS economic attack vectors are increasingly sophisticated — and the protocols most at risk are often the least equipped to defend against them.

Top-tier audit firms charge $50,000 to $200,000+ per engagement. Cheap automated scanners provide false confidence without genuine manual review. Maarai Labs sits precisely in that gap: expert-level manual reviews at pricing structured for teams building before they are funded.

01

Audits Are Priced Out of Reach

Average DeFi audit sits at $50,000–$100,000. For a team operating on grants or a seed round, this can exceed their entire engineering budget.

02

ZK Expertise Is Exceptionally Rare

ZK circuit audits command an 80–120% premium above EVM audits. Under-constrained signals, Fiat-Shamir weaknesses, and transcript mismatches are invisible to reviewers without direct circuit-level experience.

03

EigenLayer AVS Security Is Unsolved

No established market pricing or standard methodology yet exists for AVS security review. Operator collusion, slashing manipulation, and stake-weighted censorship require specialized knowledge.

Why Maarai Labs

We Have Built the Systems We Audit

Production ZK Experience

We have built working Halo2 SHPLONK/KZG and Plonky2 ZK-STARK circuits from scratch — deployed on Ethereum testnets with on-chain verifiers. We find bugs because we have encountered them ourselves.

Live EigenLayer AVS Deployment

We designed, built, and registered a complete EigenLayer AVS — ServiceManager, OperatorRegistry, TaskManager, SlashingConditions, and a live Rust operator node on Sepolia. We know this architecture from the inside out.

ZK + EigenLayer in One Engagement

Most security firms audit Solidity. A smaller number can review ZK circuits. Almost none can do both alongside EigenLayer AVS architecture in a single engagement. For protocols building at the intersection of these systems — ZK coprocessors, privacy-preserving AVS, or ZK-gated operator logic — Maarai Labs is one of the few firms that can cover the entire stack without splitting the engagement across multiple vendors.

Senior Expertise, No Dilution

Every technical decision at Maarai Labs is made by a senior expert with production experience in the system being reviewed. No findings written by junior analysts. No review signed off without direct expert validation. That standard holds as the firm grows.

Our Process

How an Engagement Works

01

Scoping Call — Free

We review your codebase structure, discuss your timeline, and provide a fixed-price quote within 48 hours. No forms, no sales pipeline — a direct technical conversation with no commitment required.

02

Pre-Audit Preparation

We provide a Pre-Audit Readiness Checklist covering documentation requirements, test suite expectations, and code freeze guidelines. Well-prepared codebases receive faster turnaround and more thorough coverage.

03

Manual Expert Review

We combine automated scanning with 100% manual expert review. Automated tools catch known vulnerability patterns — manual review is what catches logic errors, economic attack vectors, and system-level flaws that no scanner can identify.

04

Findings Report Delivery

You receive a written report with every finding categorized by severity — Critical, High, Medium, Low, and Informational — with detailed descriptions, proof-of-concept scenarios, and specific remediation recommendations.

05

Remediation Review — Included

After you implement fixes, we verify that each remediation is correct and has not introduced new vulnerabilities. Included in all Standard and Complex engagements at no additional cost.
