I’m Launching Sentinel, a tool to Revolutionize Smart Contract Security with Continuous Auditing
Setting a new standard on smart contract security.
Hello there,
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of a new project, Sentinel. I am building this tool to tackle a massive problem in the blockchain space: the vulnerability of unaudited new code. Sentinel offers continuous security audits on CI for EVM, Solana, CosmWasm, and Move (SUI) ecosystems, ensuring your smart contracts are secure with every single commit.
Why I’m Building Sentinel: The Problem with One-Off Audits
Having developed multiple protocols in the blockchain space, I’ve seen firsthand how traditional smart contract audits fail to keep up with the fast pace of blockchain development. These one-off audits, which can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000+, are critical but leave a dangerous gap. As you and your team iterate and add new features, the new code often stays unaudited for weeks—or even months. That’s a huge risk! Industry data shows that 70% of smart contract exploits come from pull requests (PRs) that go unnoticed until it’s too late. Just look at the $50 million DAO hack in 2016 or the billions lost in DeFi breaches over the years—these disasters often stem from vulnerabilities in new, unaudited code.
I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I am creating Sentinel—to close that gap and protect your projects (and my own) from devastating hacks. With Sentinel, you get continuous auditing on CI, catching vulnerabilities before they’re merged into your main branch. It’s about giving you peace of mind so you can focus on building, not worrying about the next exploit.
How Sentinel Changes the Game
I am designing Sentinel to integrate seamlessly with your GitHub workflows, delivering relentless security audits for every PR. Here’s what makes it different from traditional audits:
PR Intrusion Detection: I make sure Sentinel catches exploits in GitHub PRs before they reach your main branch, stopping 70%+ of vulnerabilities at the source.
AI-Powered Exploit Prevention: My tool uses AI to identify and mitigate risks in new code, ensuring no commit goes unchecked.
End-to-End Protection: For just $500/month—100x cheaper than a single traditional audit for a reputable firm—Sentinel provides continuous coverage, securing every commit across EVM, Solana, CosmWasm, and Move smart contracts.
I’m particularly proud of how affordable Sentinel is compared to traditional audits. At $500/month, you get ongoing protection that’s more thorough and cost-effective than a $50k-$200k one-off audit. It’s a no-brainer for any team serious about security.
Why Continuous Auditing Is a Must
The stakes in blockchain are higher than ever. In 2024, Solana hacks surged by 30%, often because new, unaudited code became the weak link. DeFi projects have lost over $5 billion to exploits since the industry began, with many vulnerabilities hiding in PRs that traditional audits miss. I am building Sentinel to address this head-on, offering a proactive solution that keeps up with the fast-paced nature of blockchain development. With continuous auditing, you’re not just reacting to risks—you’re preventing them.
