About QuillAudits
QuillAudits is a premier blockchain security firm dedicated to fortifying Web3 infrastructure through comprehensive audits and penetration testing. With an emphasis on smart contracts, DeFi apps, blockchain protocols, and dApps, QuillAudits brings enterprise-grade scrutiny to decentralized systems, helping over 1,400 projects protect their digital ecosystems.
Founded on the belief that trust is the foundation of Web3, QuillAudits combines multi-layered manual auditing, real-world attack simulations, and AI-assisted threat detection to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. The platform's vigilance is reflected in its record: $3B+ in digital assets secured, 1M+ lines of code reviewed, and projects across 50+ blockchain networks. With global recognition and collaborations across protocols like Polygon, BNB Chain, and StarkWare, QuillAudits continues to redefine the standards of Web3 security.
QuillAudits stands as one of the most trusted names in the blockchain security audit industry, offering a layered security approach to combat the rising number of smart contract exploits and infrastructure breaches in Web3. Launched as part of the larger Quill ecosystem, it evolved from projects like QuillTrace and QuillHash, which contributed blockchain solutions in public and private sectors alike—from supply chains to COVID-19 trackers.
Today, QuillAudits offers a suite of services covering smart contract audits, dApp audits, penetration testing, RWA (Real World Asset) audits, and more. These services are underpinned by a unique audit model that leverages internal security engineers and a global “Vigilant Squad” of independent white-hat auditors to eliminate bias and expand threat detection coverage.
One of the platform’s standout features is QuillMonitor, a real-time database of active and historical Web3 hacks. This tool not only informs clients but also helps engineers and founders understand exploit patterns across chains and protocols. The QuillMonitor has indexed over $24B in cumulative hack losses across 1,600+ incidents, highlighting the depth of the platform’s research capabilities.
Another important innovation is AEGIS, a pre-audit toolkit that helps teams prepare their codebases for formal audits. This tool saves time and budget by detecting common vulnerabilities before formal reviews begin. Additionally, the QuillAudits Dashboard provides a leaderboard of completed audits, showing transparency in results and risk assessments.
QuillAudits' extensive chain support—ranging from Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon to ZetaChain and Aptos—ensures developers across ecosystems can access high-level security reviews. It also supports niche programming languages such as Rust, Cairo, Clarity, Move, and Sway, enabling audits for new and experimental protocols.
While its primary competitors include firms like ConsenSys Diligence, CertiK, and Trail of Bits, QuillAudits differentiates itself by maintaining a developer-first, research-heavy, and collaborative audit culture. These values have earned trust from top-tier clients like Taiko, Fringe Finance, and Polygon DAO, who publicly endorse the quality of Quill’s audit reports and remediation guidance.
QuillAudits provides numerous benefits and features that position it as a go-to security partner in the Web3 space:
- Multi-Layered Audit Approach: Combines in-house reviews with external security researcher evaluations for broader vulnerability detection and unbiased results.

- Support for 50+ Chains: Offers services across major and emerging blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Starknet, Sui, ZetaChain, and more.
- Real-Time Threat Monitoring: The QuillMonitor platform provides up-to-date data on active hacks, attack vectors, and exploit trends.
- Post-Audit Support & Remediation: Actionable audit reports include fix suggestions, patch verification, and secure deployment advisory.
- Audit Transparency Dashboard: Publishes audit scores and completion stats, allowing anyone to view the outcomes of past security assessments.
QuillAudits makes the onboarding process straightforward for any Web3 project, whether you're auditing a smart contract, DeFi protocol, or blockchain layer:
- Step 1 – Request a Quote: Visit QuillAudits and click “Request a Quote” on the homepage. Fill in your project details and receive a response within 24 hours.
- Step 2 – Submit Your Codebase: Share your GitHub repo, deployment strategy, and other tech details with the audit team. A pre-audit checklist may be used to prepare for formal assessment.
- Step 3 – AEGIS Setup (Optional): Use the AEGIS toolkit to scan and refine your code for faster audit cycles and cleaner results.
- Step 4 – Audit & Review: Quill’s engineers perform a line-by-line review of your code. Once complete, the Vigilant Squad conducts an independent audit round.
- Step 5 – Receive the Final Report: Your final report will include categorized vulnerabilities, severity ratings, patch recommendations, and a public audit badge if applicable.
- Step 6 – Remediation & Re-Audit: Apply fixes based on feedback. QuillAudits verifies each fix and issues a clean audit version for investor and exchange compliance.
QuillAudits FAQ
QuillAudits takes a two-tiered approach to auditing via its Vigilant Squad framework. First, internal security experts conduct an initial audit, followed by an independent review by a curated team of external white-hat researchers. This multi-layered review system eliminates blind spots, providing broader scrutiny and an unbiased assessment. It allows complex vulnerabilities to be identified and resolved with a depth unmatched by most traditional audit workflows.
Aegis is an audit-readiness toolkit developed by QuillAudits that helps Web3 projects prepare codebases for auditing. It includes pre-checklists, static analysis tools, and automation pipelines to catch basic issues before an audit even begins. This reduces the number of audit cycles needed, saving both time and cost for development teams. Aegis ensures projects come to audits with cleaner, well-documented code, leading to faster report delivery and quicker deployments.
Yes, QuillAudits is not limited to major blockchains. With support for 50+ blockchain networks, including emerging Layer 1s and experimental frameworks, the team provides customizable audit solutions tailored to different languages and environments such as Solidity, Cairo, Move, Rust, and Clarity. Their flexible infrastructure enables them to work with modular blockchains, ZK-rollups, and non-EVM chains, ensuring developers can receive thorough audits regardless of the platform.
QuillMonitor is a live security dashboard by QuillAudits that tracks and catalogs active and historical Web3 hacks. It features insights like exploit techniques, chain-specific vulnerabilities, and dollar-value losses. With over $24B in hack data analyzed, it helps devs understand attack trends, identify design risks, and avoid repeat vulnerabilities in their own projects. This tool also supports due diligence before partnerships or token integration.
After major DeFi exploits, QuillAudits often conducts detailed post-mortem investigations to dissect the technical and operational flaws behind attacks. These reports don’t just identify bugs—they provide remediation strategies, governance considerations, and architectural recommendations for future security. This educational effort has positioned QuillAudits as a go-to source for post-incident transparency, helping the broader ecosystem learn and evolve from critical security failures.
