A Clearer Way to Assess Smart-Contract Risk

The Chainwise runs a deterministic 6-point risk check, then links every finding back to verifiable evidence.

The 6-Point Risk Check

Contract Verification & Transparency

Checks whether the contract is verified and whether its implementation can be inspected with confidence.

Privileged Access & Admin Controls

Identifies elevated roles and sensitive permissions that can materially change contract behavior.

Upgradeability & Proxy Risk

Examines proxy patterns, upgrade paths, and who can alter the underlying implementation.

Token & Transaction Restrictions

Surfaces controls that may pause, block, tax, limit, mint, or constrain token activity.

Ownership & Wallet Concentration

Measures concentration and highlights dependencies created by dominant or connected wallets.

Governance & Operational Controls

Reviews timelocks, multisig safeguards, role separation, and sensitive operating controls.

How a Verdict Is Made

Trace the result from evidence to explanation. Scoring is deterministic; AI is used only to express the completed findings in clearer language.

Observable facts come first. The analysis identifies source verification, access roles, proxy structure, transaction controls, holder concentration, and governance safeguards.
Each dimension is scored by predefined logic. The overall result is derived from those checks, so the same evidence produces the same score.
Results show their work. Material findings connect to the underlying contract or wallet signals so reviewers can validate the basis of the assessment.
AI writes a short plain-English summary after scoring is complete. It rephrases the deterministic findings; it does not add evidence, invent risks, or influence the score.

1. Contract Verification & Transparency

Checks whether the contract is verified and whether its implementation can be inspected with confidence.

2. Privileged Access & Admin Controls

Identifies elevated roles and sensitive permissions that can materially change how the contract behaves.

3. Upgradeability & Proxy Risk

Examines proxy patterns, upgrade paths, and who can replace or alter the underlying implementation.

4. Token & Transaction Restrictions

Surfaces controls that may pause, block, tax, limit, mint, or otherwise constrain token activity.

5. Ownership & Wallet Concentration

Measures concentration and highlights dependencies created by dominant owners or connected wallets.

6. Governance & Operational Controls

Reviews timelocks, multisig safeguards, role separation, and the operating controls around key decisions.

Planned: Liquidity & Market Structure

Roadmap capability for evaluating liquidity depth, market dependencies, and structural trading risks. This is not included in the current score.

Planned: Exploit/Anomaly & External Signals

Roadmap capability for adding anomaly detection, exploit intelligence, and corroborating external signals. This is not included in the current score.

Our Methodology

Every risk score comes from our 6-Point Risk Check. Predefined logic evaluates the same six dimensions for every analysis, and material findings link back to the supporting evidence. Results also include an AI-generated plain-English summary: AI rephrases the completed findings, but never invents evidence or determines the score.

Security Philosophy

The Chainwise analyzes public on-chain data β€” we never ask for wallet seed phrases or private keys, and we do not custody funds. Details submitted through our alert forms are used only to send what you signed up for and are never sold. We're a growing platform and don't currently hold SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar third-party certifications, and haven't yet completed an independent security audit of our own infrastructure; this page will be updated the moment either changes. Users remain responsible for complying with applicable laws in their own jurisdiction.

Responsible Disclosure

If you find a security vulnerability in our platform or methodology, we want to know before anyone else does. Email security@thechainwise.io with details and reproduction steps. We aim to acknowledge reports within a few business days and ask for a reasonable window to investigate and remediate before public disclosure.
