Smart contract audits for funds

Secure your entire portfolio.

Every protocol your fund backs will need a security audit before launch, before listing, and before the next raise. CredShields is the institutional standard - one relationship that scales across your entire deal flow.

01 · Fund thesis
Why security is the highest-leverage decision a fund makes.

"A fund that mandates CredShields audits across its portfolio doesn't just protect investments. It creates a compounding trust signal that every portfolio company inherits."

A reputation halo.
When LPs and exchanges see CredShields on a portfolio company's audit page, the conversation skips three meetings. Your brand becomes the proxy for security maturity across every deal you back.
Downside protection.
A single uncaught reentrancy bug can wipe a Series-A position. Mandated audits before mainnet, before TGE, and before each major upgrade convert binary tail risk into a known, bounded line item.
Faster deal velocity.
Diligence collapses from weeks to days when the same audit team has already worked across your fund. Standardised scope, shared context, predictable turnaround - every new investment moves at the speed of the last.
02 · Lifecycle moments
Three moments where fund security diligence matters most.

Security requirements don't end at investment - they compound across the portfolio lifecycle.

01
Pre-investment diligence
Before the term sheet is signed. We pressure-test the codebase, review the threat model, and surface architectural risk that would re-price the round.
3–5 days · Pre-term sheet
02
Pre-TGE certification
The audit exchanges and market makers will ask for. Full smart-contract review, tokenomics validation, and a signed attestation letter ready for listing applications.
10–14 days · Pre-token launch
03
Pre-listing & post-launch
Continuous coverage for live protocols. Re-audits on each major upgrade, monitoring for new attack patterns, and sign-off before every CEX expansion.
Ongoing · Sprint-aligned
03 · Services
Security services designed around fund operations.

From single-deal diligence to full portfolio coverage - structured for how funds actually work.
