About the program

The Ava Labs audit program helps teams building on Avalanche get a security review without negotiating with each firm. You describe your scope once on the Builder Hub, and every firm on the Ava Labs whitelist, or only the ones you pick, sends you a private quote.

Quotes arrive within a 10-day window. You compare them, accept one, and only then are contact details shared. The program can pay up to 75% of the cost, and there are no fees for builders.

The whitelist covers 18 firms, including BlockSec, Cantina and Certora, offering smart contract and protocol audits, cryptography reviews, formal verification, frontend audits, monitoring and bug bounty setup.

What they fund

Smart contract audits in Solidity or Vyper
Protocol audits in Go or Rust, including Avalanche L1s
Cryptography, formal verification and invariant specification
Frontend, OpSec and monitoring reviews
