Neodyme

  • Name: Neodyme
  • URL: https://neodyme.io/en/
  • Tags: solana-ecosystem
  • Category: blockchain security firm / public security-report library / smart-contract and core-protocol audit practice / crypto-adjacent research company
  • Summary: Neodyme is a research-heavy security shop with deep Solana and core-protocol lineage plus a real public report archive. Keep it for that depth, not because it is some universal security anchor.
  • What it does:
    • Performs smart-contract audits and core-blockchain audits for crypto projects, with explicit positioning around complex DeFi, NFT, liquid-staking, and cross-chain systems
    • Maintains a first-party public reports index with downloadable security reviews covering projects such as Firedancer, Squads v4, Neon EVM, Marinade, Lido on Solana, Jito MEV Validator, Orca Whirlpools, and Mango v3
    • Frames its blockchain work as part of a broader security-research organization that also publishes deep technical research, CVEs, and detailed engineering blog posts
    • Positions itself as an early Solana security specialist with long-running ecosystem credibility and experience reporting core-protocol bugs
    • Combines audits, consulting, and training, which suggests a reusable security-practice layer rather than one-off report delivery
  • Key claims:
    • The homepage says Neodyme helps secure software with deep-dive audits, cutting-edge research, and trainings, and specifically advertises smart-contract audits as a named service line
    • The blockchain page says Neodyme offers both smart-contract audits and core blockchain audits and points readers to a list of public reports
    • The same page says Neodyme has been “Auditing Solana since 2020,” has helped save “$10B+” in TVL from loss-of-funds bugs, and has reported “100+” core blockchain bugs
    • The blockchain page says the team has experience auditing complex DeFi products, NFT platforms, liquid-staking solutions, cross-chain protocols, and more, and emphasizes attention to detail plus knowledge of underlying technology
    • The reports index shows an ongoing public security corpus reaching into 2026 and spanning protocol components, validators, AMMs, EVM systems, and Solana infrastructure rather than a handful of stale case studies
    • The homepage includes a Solana Labs testimonial saying Neodyme’s auditing, research, and trainings keep the Solana ecosystem safer and credits the team’s experience with the core protocol going back to its early days
    • The blog index reinforces that Neodyme operates as a broader research-driven security shop, with recent posts covering deep technical vulnerabilities and at least one long-form Solana-consensus piece alongside non-crypto security research
  • Whitepaper: No canonical standalone Neodyme whitepaper or litepaper surfaced in this pass. The clearest current sources of truth were the company homepage, the dedicated blockchain page, the public reports index, and the research blog; see ../whitepapers/neodyme-primary-sources-2026-05-04.md.
