Sherlock AI

Sherlock AI delivers auditor-level analysis during development, helping teams catch vulnerabilities early and ship code with confidence.

Collaborative Audits

Private, staffed audits led by top-performing Web3 security researchers. Sherlock assembles a curated team to review your codebase in a dedicated engagement, helping your team find critical vulnerabilities before mainnet.

Audit Contests

Sherlock’s contests apply large-scale adversarial pressure to your code, with top auditors competing to surface the most impactful issues as fast as possible.

Bug Bounties

Sherlock’s bug bounties create an active incentive layer on your live code, bringing experienced hunters to test it while Sherlock’s in-house team triages findings as they come in.

SHERLOCK SHIELD

Sherlock Shield applies financial coverage to your audited contracts once you go live, adding protection during active operation if a covered issue appears.

Leading protocol Teams

Aave has always implemented industry-leading security standards. V4 is designed to bring trillions of dollars and millions of users onchain, so continuing to meet those standards was not negotiable. Sherlock’s collaborative audit provided a deep review from a specialized team, and the public contest that followed confirmed their work was effective.

Stani Kulechov - Founder and CEO of Aave Labs

Rock solid security has always been a priority for Sky. Over time, it's become one of the defining features of the project. It only makes sense that the team would work with the market leader, Sherlock.

Rune Christiansen - Founder of Sky

We chose Sherlock because we were intrigued by the value of having multiple independent security researchers collaborating together. Our favorite part was the collaborative environment and effective feedback cycle between our team and Sherlock, making it a very productive experience.
