Experience

Consensys Diligence is a top-tier blockchain security firm with a proven track record in the Ethereum and Arbitrum ecosystems, among others. We have conducted two audits of Arbitrum's core contracts and the Nitro codebase, identifying one Critical and six Major vulnerabilities:

Our team has also audited numerous key projects within the Arbitrum ecosystem, including Lido, Rocket Pool, Notional, 1inch, Gamma, MetaMask, Connext, 0x, Aave, and Balancer. We are the creators of essential security tools such as Diligence Fuzzing, MythX, Scribble, Mythril, Napalm, and the Solidity Visual Auditor for VS Code, which are widely used by developers to enhance the security of their smart contracts.

Our team consists of highly competent security researchers and engineers dedicated to safeguarding the Ethereum, Arbitrum, and broader EVM ecosystems. We have deep expertise in analyzing on-chain transactions, simulating and verifying proposals, and ensuring their safety and correctness. Several of our team members are full-time participants in the Security Alliance (SEAL 911) community.

We have experience participating in war rooms, creating incident response plans, and working on reports confidentially. As an independent and trusted organization with a global team across all time zones, we are always ready to respond promptly to any security incidents and collaborate effectively with other Security Council members.
