Hyacinth is a peer-to-peer auditing platform, connecting projects with the best solo auditors out there. We’re all about delivering faster, more affordable, and top-notch audits while helping auditors boost their reputations on-chain and earn more than they would elsewhere.

The auditors on our platform are some of the finest solo auditors in crypto. They regularly place highly on competitive audit platforms like Code4rena, Spearbit and Sherlock and have worked for some of the best traditional auditing firms like Halborn, Hacken, PeckShield and OtterSec.

What separates Hyacinth from the rest?

Talent Pool: Unlike other competitive platforms with a diminishing talent pool full of newbies or limited top-tier auditor availability, Hyacinth has a diverse network of hand picked solo auditors.

Efficient Resource Allocation: Hyacinth dedicates over 80% of audit costs directly to bug finding, significantly outperforming competitors. Code4rena allocates less than 60%, and Sherlock about 70%, while Hyacinth maximizes investment in actual security expertise.

Flexible Engagement: Our peer-to-peer model allows projects to directly select and work with top auditors, unlike fixed team approach or open competitions where most of ’em are hit or miss as anyone can join without strict criteria.
