Audits in blockchain have become a badge. A firm’s logo goes up, a PDF gets shared, and that’s often where the conversation ends. For projects built on recycled code, maybe that’s enough. But when you’re building a custom chain from the ground up, aiming to handle billions in enterprise adoption, that model collapses.
We’ve proven the chain works. Now the focus is on credibility - proving that every piece of our architecture, every shard of our validator design, and every line of code can stand up to the kind of scrutiny that enterprises, regulators, and investors demand. That’s the purpose of our Initial Technical Due Diligence and Security Audit.
The Architecture Worth Auditing
When an enterprise looks at a blockchain, they don’t just ask if it runs. They ask how it runs, and if it aligns with their needs. That’s where our audit begins: with architecture.
Our ledger has already been tested at over two million transactions per second in simulation. Subnets allow enterprises to mirror their databases directly on-chain, with custom fields that roll back up into PAW Chain without losing interoperability. Middleware like Kafka will soon connect legacy systems, so payroll, banking, or logistics data can flow on-chain in real time with full audit trails.
Security is designed into the base. We plan to rotate cryptographic key shards daily, so no full private key ever exists in one place. Bridge-outs carry a twelve-hour delay, giving time to catch anomalies. And because quantum computing is expected to break today’s cryptography within the next five to ten years, we’re already working on the next step. Wallet security will evolve beyond fragile seed phrases, using biometric entropy - fingerprints or even DNA fused with validator secrets - to create a recovery model that feels natural for users but impossible for even quantum brute force to crack.
This is not the sort of codebase that can be signed off with a checklist. It requires independent validation from experts who understand the scale of what’s being built.
Where Standard Audits Fail
The industry has leaned heavily on names like CertiK. But static reports quickly go out of date - we saw that ourselves. By the time a CertiK audit landed, our code had already moved on. Running another with the same process would have been a waste.
Then there are the contracts. One standard agreement we reviewed contained a clause buried in section thirteen that gave firms broad rights to reuse audited code. That might not matter for projects running copy-paste Ethereum forks. For a custom architecture independently valued in the hundreds of millions, it is unacceptable.
Even NDAs come with limits. As one of our legal advisors put it: “If they’re worth twenty million and your code is worth two hundred million, who’s really at risk?” It’s not the auditing firm. That’s why we brought in heavyweight legal experience - including a lawyer with more than two decades in practice and time at the European Court of Justice - to rewrite the agreements on our terms. Contracts and NDAs now protect us, not the other way around.
The takeaway is simple: if audits are going to prove anything meaningful, the process itself needs to be reimagined.
A New Partnership Model
That’s where our approach comes in. The goal isn’t just a better report, it’s a better relationship.
We’ve negotiated a personalized agreement tailor-made for our codebase. Auditors won’t sit in isolation and deliver findings months later. They’ll sit in group chats with our developers, able to raise questions and get answers in real time. The vision is to go further, pulling auditors directly into our CI/CD pipelines so that every new commit can be reviewed as it’s built.
They’ll remain independent, but the level of access will make them feel almost internal. That’s the difference between an audit that ticks boxes and an audit that actively improves resilience day by day. More information will become available as we progress with this new agreement.
What This Means for Us
Security isn’t a badge we pin on the website. It’s a process we live by. Every line of code gets reviewed. Every infrastructure decision is tested against scale and resilience. Every contract and agreement is written to protect our community, our builders, and our investors.
We’re not here to replicate the checkbox audits that the industry has grown comfortable with. We’re here to prove, line by line, that what we’re building can carry enterprises, protect liquidity, and stand strong even against the risks that will surface five years from now. That credibility isn’t just for outside investors. It’s the foundation of everything we’re building together.
