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
filesMisconfigured access controls in cloud services
