A senior security review of your protocol, plus a year with a working audit firm in your corner. Built for founders who are still deciding how it should work, and founders already shipping code, before either can afford a full audit.
$500 / year · Annual plan · Everything in Zealynx Insiders included
Run by the firm behind 45 audits for 30+ protocols · Annual members only
Who this is for
Most builders never get security eyes on their code. This fixes that.
Bootstrapped
Shipping without a security budget.
You are deploying to testnet or mainnet and a $15k+ audit is simply not on the table yet. Your current security plan is hoping nothing goes wrong.
Pre-raise
Building toward a raise.
Investors will ask what you have done about security. “Nothing yet” is a bad answer. A documented review and an ongoing security relationship is a good one.
Solo & small teams
No security person on the team.
Nobody on the team has shipped through an audit before. You want someone experienced to think about your risks with you, throughout the build, not once at the end.
Before you write the code
Still at the drawing board? That is the cheapest time to talk.
Most of what goes wrong in Web3 is decided before a line of code exists: who is trusted, what a role is allowed to do, what happens when a price goes stale, who can be griefed by whom. Once it is written, changing it costs a rewrite. At the design stage it costs a conversation.
So you do not need finished code to get value from this. Bring the architecture you are unsure about, the flows you cannot decide between, the assumption you quietly hope holds. We will tell you where it breaks while it is still cheap to move.
Your two days do not expire
The audit session is yours for the whole membership year, not a date fixed at signup. Redesign, delay, pivot, ship late: the senior time waits until your code has settled.
What starts the day you join is the access, which is worth most while the decisions that determine your risk are still being made.
What you get
A real engagement, not a drive-by scan.
01
Kickoff threat-model session.
A 1:1 with Zealynx's founder. We walk your architecture together: where the money moves, what can go wrong, and what your riskiest assumption is. You leave with a one-page risk map most teams never had before their first audit.
02
A two-day audit session on your core contracts.
Two full days of senior time dedicated to your highest-risk surface. We run Zealynx's internal AI audit pipeline over your repo, the same tooling we use in full engagements, and a senior auditor personally verifies and triages every finding. No raw tool dumps. At our standard audit rate of $6k per week, this session alone is $2,400 of senior time. It is included in your $500 year. The days do not expire: spend them whenever your code has settled, not on a date fixed at signup.
03
Findings walkthrough plus a written review memo.
A live call where we go through each issue and, more importantly, why it matters. You keep a written memo: findings, severity, and what to fix first.
04
One fix re-check round.
You patch, we verify. The difference between a drive-by review and an engagement is that someone checks the fixes actually fix.
05
A year inside Zealynx Insiders.
Everything in the membership, on top of the Sprint: 1:1 advisory with working auditors, office hours, Krait runs on your contracts, the AI auditor builder, an audit-readiness scorecard, pair-auditing sessions, and a room of developers, founders, and auditors getting better together. The full, up-to-date list lives on the membership page, and it keeps growing. The Sprint is the start of the relationship, not the whole of it.
06
Audit workshops on your protocol.
Your codebase can be the subject of a live audit workshop: a room of Insiders auditors working through it together, moderated by Zealynx. Think of it as an internal, trusted bug bounty. More qualified eyes on your code than most funded protocols ever get, and every finding lands in your lap.
07
Visibility for your protocol.
A security-process interview on Zealynx's YouTube channel, shared across both our audiences: how you build, how you think about risk, what you have done to protect users. Security you cannot talk about is marketing you never used. You can also demo your protocol to the Insiders room, a community of builders and auditors, and be seen by the exact people who integrate, contribute, and refer.
The Sprint is included with the annual plan only. We schedule it together during onboarding, at the point in your build where a review does the most good.
Let’s be precise
This is not a full audit.
What it is not
It does not produce a formal audit report.
It does not let you claim “audited by Zealynx.” If your protocol will hold real value on mainnet, you still need a full audit.
It is not exhaustive. It is real audit work, time-boxed to your highest-risk surface, not a line-by-line pass over everything.
What it is
Real senior eyes on your code at the stage when nobody else will look, from the same team and tooling behind our full audits.
A prioritized view of your actual risk, explained so your team levels up, not just a list of issues.
A ramp: your membership fee counts as credit toward a full Zealynx audit while your membership is active. When you are ready, we already know your codebase.

Fee counts as credit toward a full Zealynx audit
The Sprint requires the annual plan. Monthly membership includes everything except the Sprint, and you can upgrade anytime.
Most builders who reach out to us cannot afford an audit yet. For years the honest answer was “come back when you can.” I always hated that answer.
There are thousands of teams shipping real code with zero security eyes on it. Not because they don’t care. Because the market never built anything for them.
The Sprint is that answer.
FAQ
Questions.
No. It is real audit work by a senior auditor, but very time-boxed and limited in scope: two days, focused on your highest-risk code, with a written memo rather than a formal audit report. You cannot present it as a full Zealynx audit. If you will hold meaningful value on mainnet, you still need one, and your membership fee counts as credit toward it.
No, and this is the most common mistake we see. The two-day audit session does not expire: it is yours to spend whenever your code has settled, at the point in your build where it does the most good. What starts the day you join is the advisory access, and that is worth most while you are still choosing how the thing should work. Join now, bank the audit session, and use the year to arrive at it with better architecture.
Yes, and we would rather. Bring the architecture, the trust assumptions, the roles, the flows you are unsure about, through the kickoff threat-model session and the 1:1 advisory and office hours in your membership. Most of what goes wrong in Web3 is decided at the design stage, before a line of code exists; catching it there costs a conversation instead of a rewrite. This is advisory time inside the membership rather than an open-ended architecture engagement, but for the questions that actually keep you up at night it is the highest-leverage hour you will spend.
Four steps: a 1:1 threat-model session on your architecture, a two-day audit session on your core contracts (our internal AI audit pipeline plus senior manual verification), a findings walkthrough call with a written memo, and one re-check round after you fix. We schedule it together at onboarding, at the point in your build where it does the most good, and it can wait as long as you need it to.
We pick a member protocol and put it in front of the room: Insiders auditors work through the codebase together in a live session, moderated by a Zealynx senior, hunting real bugs in real code. It works like an internal, trusted bug bounty: many qualified eyes, findings curated and handed to you, and no public disclosure. Your repo needs to be shareable with the room (open source, or you consent to sharing it with members). Founders get eyes they could never afford; auditors get real targets; everyone levels up.
Two channels. First, a security-process interview on Zealynx's YouTube channel: not a 'who are you' intro, but a walkthrough of how you approach risk and what you have done to protect users, the kind of content that builds trust with integrators and future users. We both share it. Second, the Insiders room itself: you can demo your protocol or run a workshop in front of a community of builders and auditors, the people most likely to integrate you, contribute, or refer you. For an early protocol with no VC network, this is distribution you cannot buy elsewhere.
Smart contracts in active development or deployed, on any chain we cover (EVM, Solana, and others). For larger codebases we scope the review to the highest-risk surface together during the kickoff session. The point is maximum risk reduction per hour, not exhaustive coverage.
You can say your protocol went through a Zealynx Insiders Security Sprint, a two-day audit session, and describe what was reviewed. You cannot claim a full Zealynx audit, display an “audited by Zealynx” badge, or present the memo as an audit report. This protects you as much as us: overstating security is how projects lose user trust. The YouTube security-process interview is the public asset built for exactly this: a credible, shareable way to show the world you take security seriously.
That is the plan. Your membership fee counts as credit toward a full Zealynx audit while your membership is active, and members get priority scheduling. By then we already know your protocol, which makes the audit faster and better.
Because it is a real investment of senior time (the two-day audit session alone is $2,400 at our standard rate), and because the value is the relationship across your whole build, not a one-off transaction. The annual plan is how we commit to each other. Monthly members get everything else in Insiders and can upgrade anytime.
Everything in Zealynx Insiders: direct access to working auditors, office hours, Krait (our AI auditor) runs on your contracts, the AI auditor builder, an audit-readiness scorecard, and a community of developers, founders, and auditors. See the membership page for the full list.
As the membership grows and the offer stacks more value, the price for new joiners will rise. Members keep the rate they joined at while their membership stays active. Joining early is how you lock the best deal.
$500 a year. A senior review of your protocol, a year of direct access, and a ramp toward a real audit when you are ready. Less than a security budget, more than a membership.
