Salus

Salus was established to address the growing complexity of threats in blockchain development. Rather than offering surface-level audits, Salus approaches security with the rigor of fundamental scientific research. This includes custom threat modeling, Proof-of-Concept exploitation, middleware attack simulations, and zero-knowledge proof engineering—all optimized for emerging Web3 infrastructures. Every line of code and every architecture decision is scrutinized with enterprise-grade precision.

Salus provides three flagship services: Smart Contract Audits, Web3 Penetration Testing, and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Solutions. The auditing process goes far beyond static analysis—Salus uses a PoC-based methodology to actively validate vulnerabilities, analyze exploit paths, and recommend actionable mitigation steps. This methodology results in comprehensive audit reports that are directly usable by technical teams and compliance partners alike.

For Web3 penetration testing, Salus integrates the best practices of Web2 security with deep protocol-level inspection. Its tests examine both cloud infrastructure and blockchain-specific middleware, including RPC endpoints, off-chain relayers, bridge connectors, and more. This hybrid testing strategy has contributed to Salus maintaining a 100% success rate in identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited in the wild.

Salus also pioneers work in the Zero-Knowledge (ZK) application layer. The company offers consultation and development services to projects building ZK-based scalability and privacy features on EVM-compatible chains. From circuit design and optimization to full deployment and integration, Salus supports ZK adoption at every technical layer. Its early-mover advantage in this field has positioned the company as a go-to partner for next-generation privacy-preserving applications.

The trust in Salus is reflected in its strategic relationships with top Web3 players, including Binance Labs, MarketAcross, and GoPlus Security. As Co-Founder of Binance Yi He noted, Salus provides “innovative security solutions to resolve pain points currently facing the blockchain ecosystem.” These partnerships showcase the firm’s role as both a research leader and a production-grade service provider.

Salus competes with other top-tier security providers like Trail of Bits, Quantstamp, and Hacken, but differentiates itself through its PoC audit framework, zero-knowledge specialization, and full-stack approach to protocol and infrastructure hardening. By merging deep research with hands-on execution, Salus continues to raise the bar for blockchain security standards.

Salus offers critical benefits and features that set it apart from conventional audit firms in the blockchain security space:

• Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Audit Methodology: Actively validates vulnerabilities with simulated exploits to ensure real-world impact is fully understood and mitigated.
• 100% Security Record: No project audited by Salus has suffered a post-audit exploit or “rekt” incident—demonstrating proven excellence.
• Advanced Penetration Testing: Covers hybrid infrastructures by evaluating middleware, API layers, Web2 integrations, and decentralized systems in one process.
• Zero-Knowledge Engineering: Supports ZK circuit development, integration, and deployment on EVM-compatible networks for privacy-first applications.
• Wide Client Base: Trusted by over 300 clients across DeFi, gaming, ZK tech, and Web3 infrastructure protocols.
• Top-Tier Collaborations: Actively partnered with Binance Labs, MarketAcross, and GoPlus Security, reinforcing credibility across global ecosystems.
