Governance security for token positions

Due diligence: We assess and strengthen governance security in DAOs where you hold tokens, eliminating a category of capital risk that most funds don't monitor.
The exposure

Governance tokens are capital exposure to protocol decisions. Malicious proposals, governance attacks, and structural vulnerabilities remain unexamined.

What we deliver
Governance security assessment_

Research-driven analysis of attack vectors, concentration risk, and mechanism vulnerabilities in protocols where you hold positions.

Mechanism design and remediation_

Research and engineering solutions to identified weaknesses, from security councils to delegation incentive structures that raise attack costs.

Pre-investment evaluation_

Governance risk assessment integrated into diligence. Understand the security posture before capital deployment.

How it works

Capital remains deployed while security improves

For existing positions
01.
Identify governance vulnerabilities through systematic research
02.
Design and implement mechanism upgrades that close attack vectors
03.
No need to exit positions or reallocate capital
04.
Security improvements protect all token holders
For prospective investments
01.
Evaluate governance maturity and attack surface
02.
Identify structural risks before deployment
03.
Assess whether the protocol can scale securely

Evidence

ENS DAO had $150M exposed — we identified the attack vectors and eliminated concentration risk before any loss occurred. For Uniswap, we strengthened their governance security. Capital stayed deployed throughout.
