WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Not Just Another
Security Firm.

We built Adevar Labs around the gaps we saw everywhere else.

01

Relationship First, Always

Every engagement is owned end-to-end by a minimum of two senior security engineers. We stay engaged through fix validation and beyond because real security is a relationship, not just a report.

02

Hybrid Model

Our in-house team is augmented by a vetted network of independent security engineers. This lets us scale up very fast, offering shorter timelines than most firms and an almost unlimited capacity.

03

Near-Unlimited Capacity

Because we are not bottlenecked by a fixed headcount, we can take on large, multi-faceted engagements without compromising depth or turnaround pulling in the right specialists when it matters.

04

We Market Your Audit Properly

Security is something users genuinely worry about. We help you tell the story featuring you on The Ship Safely Podcast and through collaborative posts across multiple platforms, turning your audit into trust.

05

A True Thought Partner

When you work with us, the relationship does not end when the engagement closes. You can always reach out with questions, we will be there to help you navigate what comes next.

Experience the difference of working with a partner who stays.

2026 Reality Check

The threat isn't
slowing down.

This is the landscape we were built for. Attackers are not only attacking smart contracts, they're targeting your team, your keys, and your infrastructure. We exist to close those gaps before they're exploited.

$2.68B+

Stolen in 2026

Between January and October 2026, over $2.68 billion was drained across roughly 600 Web3 security incidents. September alone saw $766 million stolen, the worst month of the year.

~45%

Are Operational

From January to October 2026, wallet and key compromises, phishing, and infrastructure breaches like the $387 million Bitget backend attack drained nearly $1.2 billion, roughly 45% of everything stolen.

~18%

Are Code Flaws

Code and software vulnerabilities, including September's $319 million Liquid Network exploit, account for roughly 18% of 2026 losses. A smart contract audit remains the mandatory first line of defense.

~38%

State-Backed

Roughly $1 billion stolen between January and October 2026 is attributed to North Korea-linked actors like Lazarus Group, including the Drift, KelpDAO, and suspected Bitget attacks. They spend months staging social engineering and infrastructure attacks against core team members.

Your code may be audited. But is your infrastructure? Your team? Your operations?

How We Work

Two paths. One constant.

Most firms give you either an in-house team that hasn't seen your specific stack, or a network of freelancers with no one accountable for what they find. We pair the two: a specialist matched to your exact codebase, verified by an in-house engineer who answers to the firm.

When it fits

In-house team only

Adevar Labs

When it doesn't

Paired with the network

Constant quality, no matter what.
