Conduct an External Web2 Security Review

While most security reviews in Web3 focus on smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps) also rely heavily on traditional Web2 components such as JavaScript/TypeScript frontends, Python or Node.js backends, and API services. A Web2 code audit reviews these off-chain components for security flaws.

What a Web2 Code Audit Covers

  • Frontend applications

    • Secure use of wallet integrations (Metamask, WalletConnect, etc.)

    • Handling of transaction construction logic

    • Prevention of client-side vulnerabilities (e.g., XSS, unsafe eval, DOM injection)

  • APIs and backend services

    • Authentication and session management

    • Data validation and sanitization

    • Secure API design and rate-limiting

  • Dependency and package security

    • Insecure npm/pip packages

    • Typosquatted or malicious libraries

    • Unmaintained dependencies with known CVEs

  • Secret and key management

    • API keys and private keys exposed in code or .env files

    • Misconfigured access controls in cloud services
