Security Testing for Platforms Where Exploits Are Irreversible

Blockchain transactions are final. Stolen funds don’t come back. Raxis delivers human-led, AI-augmented penetration testing for crypto exchanges, DeFi protocols, custodial wallets, and the web applications and infrastructure that surround them. We test the full stack, from smart contract logic to exchange API authentication, because attackers don’t limit themselves to one layer.

Smart Contract & DeFi Testing

Reentrancy, logic errors, oracle manipulation, flash loan vectors, and access control flaws in deployed contracts and DeFi protocol interactions.

Exchange & Wallet Platform Security

Web application, API, authentication, withdrawal flow, and key management testing for centralized and decentralized exchange platforms and custodial wallet services.

Infrastructure & Node Security

Node configuration review, RPC endpoint exposure, cloud infrastructure misconfigurations, and network-level testing of the systems that run your blockchain operations.

The Problem with Most Crypto Pentests

Blockchain platforms sit at the intersection of complex application logic, financial infrastructure, and cryptographic systems. Most pentest vendors understand one of those domains. They miss the attack paths that chain across all three.

Smart Contract Audits That Miss the Platform Around Them

A smart contract audit reviews Solidity or Rust code for known vulnerability patterns. That’s necessary but not sufficient. It doesn’t test the web application that users interact with, the API that initiates transactions, the admin panel that manages contract upgrades, or the key management infrastructure that signs them. Raxis tests the full platform, because the biggest crypto exploits happen at the seams between on-chain and off-chain systems.

Exchange Web Apps and APIs Treated as an Afterthought

Crypto exchanges are web applications that move money. They have the same vulnerabilities as any SaaS platform: broken authentication, IDOR in account and withdrawal endpoints, session management flaws, and API authorization bypass. The difference is that exploitation means direct fund loss with no chargeback mechanism. Raxis tests exchange platforms with the same depth we bring to any high-value application, because that’s what they are.

Key Management and Custody Infrastructure Untested

Hot wallet signing processes, HSM configurations, multi-sig implementation, and the admin workflows that control fund movement are the highest-value targets in any crypto platform. If your pentest vendor only tested the front-end, the systems that actually control your keys and authorize transactions were never challenged. Raxis tests custody infrastructure and signing flows as a primary scope item.

No Pentest Report Means No Institutional Trust

Institutional investors, custodial partners, and enterprise customers require third-party security assessments before engaging with crypto platforms. A thin or nonexistent pentest report blocks partnerships, fundraising, and growth. Raxis delivers the depth and specificity that institutional due diligence demands.

What We Test in Blockchain Environments

Crypto platforms combine web applications, financial APIs, cryptographic infrastructure, and on-chain logic into a single attack surface. Raxis tests every layer.

Smart Contracts & DeFi Protocols

Reentrancy vulnerabilities, integer overflow/underflow, access control bypass, oracle manipulation, flash loan attack vectors, front-running susceptibility, and logic errors in token minting, staking, and governance functions across Solidity, Rust, and Move contracts.

Exchange Platforms & Trading APIs

Authentication and session management, withdrawal flow manipulation, API key authorization bypass, order book injection, rate limiting evasion, IDOR across account and transaction endpoints, and admin panel security for centralized and hybrid exchange architectures.

Wallet & Key Management

Hot wallet signing processes, HSM configuration review, multi-sig implementation validation, seed phrase handling, private key storage security, and the admin workflows and approval chains that control fund movement.

Infrastructure & Node Configuration

RPC endpoint exposure and authentication, validator/node misconfiguration, cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) IAM and network security, VPN and remote access controls, and internal network segmentation between operational and administrative systems.

Why Raxis for Blockchain & Crypto Penetration Testing

Test the full stack, not just the contracts

OSCP-certified engineers test smart contracts, web applications, APIs, key management infrastructure, and cloud environments as one connected attack surface. The biggest crypto exploits happen where these layers meet.

Build institutional confidence

Raxis reports are built for the due diligence process. Institutional investors, custodial partners, and enterprise customers get the depth and evidence they need to evaluate your platform’s security posture before committing capital or integrating services.

Findings your dev team can act on

Every finding includes proof-of-concept exploits, specific contract functions or API endpoints affected, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance written for blockchain developers. No generic recommendations. Your team gets findings they can fix before the next deployment.

Support SOC 2 and regulatory readiness

As crypto regulations mature globally, pentest evidence is becoming table stakes. Raxis reports map to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and ISO 27001, providing the compliance artifacts you need as regulatory expectations increase.

Retesting and continuous coverage

After your team remediates, Raxis retests to verify fixes hold. For platforms deploying new contracts or features frequently, Raxis Attack (PTaaS) delivers continuous testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting through the Raxis One portal.

Test safely without impacting live systems

Raxis tests smart contracts on testnets or forked environments and coordinates all exchange and infrastructure testing within strict rules of engagement. No live fund risk. No transaction disruption. Full coverage of your actual attack surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a hands-on simulated attack against your blockchain platform’s full stack: smart contracts, web applications, APIs, wallet and key management infrastructure, node configurations, and cloud environments. The goal is to find exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do, in an industry where exploits result in immediate, irreversible fund loss.

A smart contract audit reviews code for known vulnerability patterns. A Raxis penetration test goes further by testing the entire platform: the web application users interact with, the APIs that initiate transactions, the admin panels that manage upgrades, and the key management systems that sign transactions. The biggest crypto exploits happen at the boundaries between on-chain and off-chain systems.

We test smart contracts (Solidity, Rust, Move), DeFi protocol interactions, exchange web applications and trading APIs, wallet and custody infrastructure, key management and signing processes, blockchain node configurations, cloud infrastructure, and internal networks. Every engagement is scoped around your platform’s specific architecture.

No. Raxis tests smart contracts on testnets or forked environments and coordinates all exchange and infrastructure testing within strict rules of engagement. There is no risk to live funds, active transactions, or production operations.

Yes. This is one of the primary reasons crypto platforms engage Raxis. Our reports are built with the depth and specificity that institutional investors, custodial partners, and enterprise customers evaluate during security due diligence before committing capital or integrating services.

Raxis Attack is our Penetration Testing as a Service platform, delivering continuous, AI-augmented testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting through the secure Raxis One portal. For crypto platforms deploying new contracts and features frequently, it ensures security testing keeps pace with development.

After every major smart contract deployment, platform update, or infrastructure change. For platforms with frequent releases, continuous testing through Raxis Attack provides ongoing coverage. SOC 2 and institutional partners typically expect at least annual testing evidence.

Raxis testers hold industry-leading certifications including OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GFACT, and more listed on our certifications page.
