10/10 They are hands down some of the absolute best security minds in the space. This is how auditing DeFi protocols should be.
Alphakey Poolshark
10/10, Guardian has throughly evaluated our EVM implementation and has identified design flaws that AI agents can hardly identify.
Core Team MegaETH
Guardian demonstrated professionalism and attention to detail second to none. They identified issues our other auditors missed.
Dow Magna
Having seen many audits over many years, no one even comes close to Guardian's approach, and the quality of the audit is unmatched.
Kaleb Synthetix
Even with our super tight timeline, Guardian was professional, quick, and thorough, delivering high-quality work right on time. By far the best team we've worked with.
Madiha 246 Club
Our experience with Guardian has been amazing. All security researchers on the team were exceptional at understanding all intricacies of the design and the team is well suited to audit any novel DeFi product that comes their way.

My team and I have worked with many auditors in the past, including generally considered top tier firms. I can confidently say that we have never felt as secure as when working with Guardian.
Indigo Baseline
Guardian found a key bug that had been missed in previous audits, despite being outside the audit's scope. This is an honest signal of commitment and going the extra mile is rare.
Ed Valantis
Extremely proficient. I feel like they care about their contribution on a personal level. They are on a mission to become the best auditors out there. They don't need much guidance and understand the codebase quickly.
0xCalibur Abracadabra Money
Guardian has an impeccable eye to detail and goes above and beyond to ensure that the code is watertight. They are able to assess super advanced Solidity inline-assembly with ease.
