Survival infrastructure for protocols when normal assumptions fail. SCE maps control risk, incident exposure, and authority gaps before a threat-matrix event becomes a public failure.

SCE exists for the moment assumptions stop being true. When a chain halts, an oracle drifts, governance freezes, a treasury path fails, or a critical authority surface becomes unsafe, continuity becomes authority.
Audits review code. SCE reviews whether the system can survive control failure.

Coverage begins with EVM authority-surface reviews and expands through chain-specific adapters.
SCE supports ecosystem-wide readiness programs — authority-risk mapping, control identification, and evidence preparation — before capital scales.

Shows report structure, authority-surface mapping, evidence workflow, control checks, and next actions. This is a sample Pre-Launch Defense Review — not a verified client result or a completed review.
A structured review covering mapped assets, authority surfaces, threat-family relevance, control checks, and remediation priorities.
A protocol survival review
before the emergency.
Built on the Sagitta Continuity Engine, the Defense Review maps your public protocol surface against authority-risk patterns, global incident families, continuity doctrine, and evidence gaps.
Clear answers for teams evaluating an SCE Defense Review.
Is SCE a smart contract audit?
No. SCE complements audits; it does not replace them. Audits review code, implementation flaws, and exploit paths. SCE reviews continuity and control readiness: authority surfaces, admin paths, treasury controls, oracle dependencies, governance and timelock posture, keeper and liveness assumptions, emergency procedures, and evidence coverage.
Do you need access to our keys or wallets?
No. Never. SCE does not request private keys, seed phrases, custody access, signing authority, or transaction approval rights.
What do we need to provide?
At minimum, provide contract addresses, deployment chain, project context, and any known admin, multisig, timelock, oracle, treasury, keeper, or governance configuration. Optional evidence can include policy documents, multisig screenshots, governance proposals, runbooks, emergency procedures, or links to public documentation.
Is this useful before mainnet?
Yes. Pre-launch testnet reviews are one of the strongest use cases. Authority patterns, timelocks, multisigs, oracle fallbacks, treasury controls, and emergency procedures are easier to improve before mainnet deployment and before capital scales.
Which chains does SCE support?
Active now: EVM and Ethereum-compatible deployments where public contract data, explorer records, or project-submitted details are available. Coverage targets: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche C-Chain, BNB Chain, Moonbeam. Expansion targets: Solana, AO / Arweave, ICP, Cosmos, bridges, and oracle networks through future chain-specific adapters.
What do we receive?
You receive a structured Defense Review report covering mapped assets, control findings, threat-family relevance, evidence status, severity framing, and next actions. When evidence is submitted, SCE can generate an updated report showing improved verification coverage.
Does SCE certify that our protocol is safe?
No. SCE does not guarantee safety or certify that a protocol cannot fail. A Defense Review identifies public-surface continuity risks, missing evidence, and control gaps so teams can improve readiness and make better decisions.
Who is this for?
SCE Defense Reviews are built for protocol teams, DAOs, DeFi systems, treasury-heavy projects, grant programs, ecosystem foundations, and infrastructure teams that need a clearer view of control failure, authority concentration, oracle risk, treasury posture, and emergency readiness.
How is this different from monitoring tools?
Monitoring tools alert teams after signals appear. SCE focuses on readiness before failure: mapping control risk, linking findings to known threat families, identifying missing controls, and preparing evidence and procedures before an incident occurs.
Can ecosystems or grant programs use SCE?
Yes. SCE supports ecosystem-wide readiness programs — authority-risk mapping, control gap identification, and evidence preparation before mainnet.
