Blast Smart Contract Audit

A Blast smart contract audit is a security review of code deployed to Blast, carried out against the EVM-equivalent optimistic rollup execution model and written in Solidity — covering both the bug classes shared across OP Stack rollup systems and the failure modes specific to Blast.

Blast's native yield on ETH and stablecoins changes contract accounting in a way no other OP Stack chain does: balances grow without a transfer, which breaks any logic that assumes a balance only changes when someone moves it.

Auditing on Blast

Rebasing native balances are the defining Blast risk. Contracts that snapshot a balance, compute shares from address(this).balance, or assume conservation across a call sequence can be manipulated by yield accrual — and yield configuration itself is a privileged action with consequences for accounting.

We review yield mode configuration, rebasing-aware accounting, gas-yield claiming and the standard OP Stack surface, then fuzz the accounting specifically around balance growth.

What we test that is specific to Blast

Rebasing balance accounting

Share and balance maths that assumes balances change only on transfer, and snapshots that go stale as yield accrues.

Yield mode configuration

Automatic, void and claimable modes set incorrectly, and who is authorised to change them.

Gas yield claiming

Claimable gas yield as a privileged revenue stream and the authority that controls it.

Integrator assumptions

Third-party protocols integrating your token or vault without accounting for rebasing.

Shared OP Stack rollup attack surface

Blast runs on EVM-equivalent optimistic rollup, so it inherits the bug classes below from every system in that family.

L1 to L2 message assumptions

Cross-domain message sender handling, aliasing of L1 addresses on L2, and authorisation checks that assume msg.sender is an EOA.

Withdrawal and challenge window

Seven-day finality assumptions in contracts and integrations, and behaviour if a withdrawal is proven but not finalised.

Sequencer trust and censorship

Centralised sequencer ordering, forced-inclusion escape hatch behaviour under congestion, and liveness assumptions in liquidations.

L1 data cost and calldata sizing

Fee models that ignore L1 data availability cost, and operations that become uneconomic when L1 gas spikes.

Block-time and timestamp assumptions

Logic tuned for 12-second L1 blocks behaving differently at two-second L2 block times.

Predeploy and precompile differences

Assumptions about opcodes, predeploys and chain-specific behaviour that do not hold on the rollup.

How the engagement runs

  1. Scoping and threat modelling

    We fix a commit hash, agree the in-scope contracts and read your architecture docs, then build a threat model: who the actors are, what the trust boundaries are, and which invariants must never break. Nothing is reviewed against assumptions we have not written down.

  2. Manual review

    Line-by-line review by at least two auditors working independently, focused on authorisation, accounting, upgrade paths, external integrations and the gap between what the code does and what the documentation claims it does. Most critical findings come from this phase, not from tooling.

  3. Static and dynamic analysis

    Static analysers appropriate to the language, plus property-based fuzzing and invariant testing to push the system into states no unit test covers. Tooling is used to widen coverage, never to replace the manual pass.

  4. Exploit-path simulation

    Candidate findings are proven on a forked network with a working proof of concept. We report what an attacker can actually do and what it costs them, not a theoretical severity label.

  5. Reporting

    Every finding gets a severity rating, reproduction steps, the affected code, the impact in concrete terms and a specific remediation. You get a draft for discussion before anything is finalised.

  6. Fix review and re-test

    We re-test every remediation against the original proof of concept and check that the fix has not opened a new path. The final report is yours to publish.

What you receive

Blast audit: frequently asked questions

What is unique about auditing on Blast?

Native yield: ETH and stablecoin balances rebase upward. Any accounting that assumes balances are static between transfers is a finding, and that includes a lot of standard vault code.

Do you review yield mode configuration?

Yes — which mode each contract uses, whether it matches the accounting model, and who can change it after deployment.

Does OP Stack review still apply?

Yes, in full. Blast adds the yield surface on top of the standard OP Stack cross-domain and withdrawal considerations.

What do you need from us to start an audit?

A repository or contract address, a commit hash to freeze the scope, whatever architecture or spec documentation exists, and a point of contact who can answer design questions. If documentation is thin we will write our understanding of the system back to you and ask you to confirm it — that step alone catches design-level bugs.

How long does an audit take?

A single token contract is 24–48 hours. A typical dApp or mid-sized protocol runs one to two weeks. Large DeFi systems, L2s, bridges and ZK circuits are scoped per project after we have seen the code. We will give you a fixed timeline with the quote, not an estimate that moves.

Is a re-test included after we fix the issues?

Yes. Fix review is part of the engagement, not an upsell. We re-run the original proof of concept against your patched code and confirm the fix has not introduced a new path.
