Polkadot security review

Polkadot is a network of parachains that share security and move value and instructions through XCM. Hackerbane audits parachain runtimes, ink! smart contracts, and the cross-chain messages that can mint or burn on another chain.

What we review

Polkadot work is usually the runtime, not a Solidity file. XCM is how value and instructions move, and a filter one version behind can mint on the wrong chain. ink! contracts have their own call model. We review each layer against its own rules.

  • Runtime pallets that hold balances or change validator sets.
  • XCM filters, fee handling, and destination assumptions.
  • ink! constructors and payable messages.
  • Services that submit XCM or runtime calls.

Runtime and contract expertise

A parachain runtime is a different artifact from a smart contract, and we review it as one. Whether your repo is a pallet, an ink! contract, or both, the audit plan matches the code you ship.
