IntroducingSherlock AUDIT ENGINE

The orchestration layer for AI-native security review. 
Frontier LLMs, purpose-built AI auditors, and elite human researchers run against your codebase in one coordinated engagement, with every validated finding consolidated into a single report.

Three review layers. One coordinated audit.

For the first time, frontier LLMs, purpose-built AI auditors, and elite human researchers can run against the same codebase in one fixed security review. 
Audit Engine coordinates each layer into a stronger audit workflow.

Frontier LLMs

Claude, GPT, and Gemini reason through your entire codebase independently, each applying different detection patterns to the same code.

AI Auditors + Skills

Purpose-built security tools like Sherlock AI run with custom skills files tuned to Solidity vulnerability classes and protocol logic.

Elite Human Researchers

Top-ranked researchers armed with AI tooling hunt for complex logic bugs and protocol-level vulnerabilities no automated tool catches alone.

Polygon Heimdall v2

Audit Engine’s first flagship engagement brings the full model to life: frontier LLMs, AI auditors, and elite human researchers reviewing one of Web3’s most important infrastructure upgrades.

Complete Lifecycle Security:
Development, audit, Post-Launch Protection

Development

Sherlock AI runs during development: reviewing code during the development cycle, flagging risky patterns & logic paths early so teams enter later stages with a cleaner, more stable codebase.

Auditing

Collaborative audits and contests concentrate expert attention where it matters most, surfacing deeper issues before launch and reducing rework late in the process.

Post-Launch

The context built during development and audit carries forward - Live code stays under active scrutiny through bounties, and when issues emerge, teams respond clearly with no downtime.

sHERLOCK Audit Engine faq

What is Sherlock Audit Engine?
Sherlock Audit Engine is an audit orchestration product that runs frontier LLMs, purpose-built AI auditors, and elite human researchers against the same codebase in one coordinated security review.
Who is Sherlock Audit Engine for?
Audit Engine is built for protocol teams that want stronger security coverage without managing separate AI tools, auditors, researchers, dashboards, and reports themselves.
How is Audit Engine configured for each protocol?
Audit Engine is tuned around the code being reviewed: the scope, files, specs, invariants, review depth, and mix of AI and human participation can all change based on the protocol’s needs.
What does an Audit Engine engagement produce?
Every engagement produces judged and deduplicated findings in one validated audit deliverable, plus performance data showing which models, AI auditors, and researchers actually found issues.
Can Audit Engine include human researchers?
Yes. Audit Engine can run as a fast AI-only review or scale into a larger AI and human security engagement with elite researchers reviewing the same scope.
When should protocol teams use Audit Engine?
Protocol teams can use Audit Engine for focused code changes, major upgrades, pre-launch reviews, AI auditor benchmarking, or high-stakes infrastructure audits that need coordinated AI and human coverage.
