How many teammates from Hashlock were assigned to this project?

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Hashlock acted as our security partner on the Web3 products we build for clients. We develop smart contracts, DeFi components, and dApps, and we brought Hashlock in to audit that code before it reached production. The scope included a full review of the contract codebase for security vulnerabilities, logic issues, code quality, and adherence to best practices.

Hashlock delivered a detailed audit report with clear findings, severity levels, and remediation guidance written in a way our engineers could act on directly. After we addressed the issues, Hashlock reviewed the fixes and confirmed they were resolved, which let us hand off a secure, audited product with confidence.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Hashlock identified vulnerabilities and code quality issues in the contracts we audited, which our team fixed before deployment. The fixes were checked too and a final report issued. The audited products launched on schedule with an independent security review behind them, and our clients gained real confidence from knowing the code had been checked by a dedicated and well-known Web3 security team.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Hashlock was genuinely easy to work with. They were fast, responsive, and right on spot. They delivered the audit reports on time, kept us in the loop throughout, and fit cleanly into our sprint timelines, which matters a lot when we are shipping on our desired schedule.

What was your primary form of communication with Hashlock?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was how well Hashlock worked alongside our engineering team. They explained security findings in practical, code-level terms in their report so our developers could act on them immediately, and they moved fast, checking our fixes. It felt less like outsourcing an audit and more like adding a security team to our own.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Hashlock could have done differently?

Nothing significant comes to mind. The collaboration was smooth, the work was solid, and the process fit the way we build. Any refinements would be minor and did not affect the quality or the outcome.
