Dapp Integration Security

Most “smart contract hacks” start as integration failures: frontend constructs a bad tx, backend trusts a client field, or contracts assume off-chain checks happened. We audit the whole execution chain.

What we cover

  • Frontend transaction construction and validation

  • Wallet signing UX and simulation/preview flows

  • Backend APIs and access control

  • Contract interaction boundaries and assumptions

  • Cross-contract calls and router behavior

  • Logging, analytics, and sensitive data exposure

Common Failure Modes

Frontend and UX exploitation

Frontend and UX exploitation

  • Manipulable tx parameters and calldata construction
  • “UI-only” checks not enforced on-chain
  • Misleading signing prompts that enable theft
API and backend abuse

API and backend abuse

  • Broken object/property authorization in APIs
  • Rate limit and automation abuse
  • Insecure trust in client-provided fields
Contract integration assumptions

Contract integration assumptions

  • Unsafe assumptions about token behavior
  • Missing replay protection in off-chain signed intents
  • Ordering assumptions that MEV exploits

Tools and Standards

Core Tooling

  • Web testing stack (Burp/ZAP) for API and flow validation
  • OWASP API Top 10:2023 for API risk coverage
  • OWASP ASVS/WSTG for test structure
  • Smart contract testing stack when needed

Outputs

  • Chain-of-trust risk narratives

What we map to

  • End-to-end trust correctness
  • Replay resistance and authorization correctness

Frequently Asked Questions

We audit the full stack: frontend (wallet connections, transaction building), backend (APIs, databases), and smart contracts (on-chain logic). Most dApp hacks exploit integration seams—we test those.

Smart contract audits don't cover frontend phishing, API authorization gaps, or database injection. dApps fail when the web2 and web3 layers don't connect securely.

Frontend: Wallet integration, transaction signing flows, user input validation, XSS/CSRF protection. Backend: API authorization, database security, session management. Smart contracts: On-chain logic and integration assumption

Yes—we test the entire attack surface. Most exploits target the weakest layer, which is often the frontend or API, not the smart contract.

We simulate malicious dApps trying to trick users into signing bad transactions, phishing for unlimited token approvals, or front-running user actions. Wallet connections must be secure and transparent.

Simple dApp: 2–3 weeks. Complex platform: 3–5 weeks. Depends on feature count and integration complexity.
