Smart Contract Audit
Syndicate is building programmable appchains and a transaction-first stack that spans L1 > L3. Over the past months, we completed three focused audits to validate their token mechanics, core sequencing architecture, and a multi-chain staking & emissions system.
Key Audit Focus Areas
1) SYND Crosschain Token We reviewed role-gated minting, bridge authorization, CREATE3 determinism, proxy safety for Arbitrum/Optimism, and pause/recovery readiness. All 9 findings (0 Critical / 3 High / 3 Medium / 2 Low / 1 Informational) were remediated or acknowledged by July 8, 2025.
2) Core Protocol We assessed sequencing logic, module composition (AND/OR/composite), permission boundaries, bridge integration and rate-limit guarantees, plus CREATE3 deployment hygiene. 5 findings (0 Critical / 1 High / 3 Medium / 1 Low) were fixed by July 27, 2025.
3) Staking & Emissions We verified the geometric-decay emissions design (80M SYND across 48 epochs), time-weighted pro-rata accounting, L1→L2→L3 bridges, reward pools, and access controls. 7 findings (0 Critical / 1 High / 4 Medium / 2 Low) were fully addressed by September 16, 2025.
Key Findings and Resolutions
- Patched a crosschain path that could inflate supply beyond cap; tightened bridge manager privileges; hardened emission scheduler controls.
- Core: Removed unbounded array/gas behaviors in TEE modules; added collision checks and upgrade validation; reduced front-running surface in config flows.
- Staking & Emissions: Added zero-address protections on reward claims; refined relayer fee accounting; improved precision guarantees in reward math.
Why this matters
Cross-chain systems multiply complexity: token bridges, retryable tickets, rate limits, epoch math, and time-weighted staking. Syndicate’s fixes reduce systemic risks and improve liveness & correctness for users and partners.
