Client Overview
UNCX Network is the leading provider of decentralized finance services, offering secure and scalable tools that have become essential to token launches across the crypto ecosystem. With widely adopted features like liquidity locking, token vesting, and staking/farming modules, UNCX delivers automated, chain-agnostic, and non-custodial solutions trusted by thousands of projects. Known as the “first layer of security” for many tokens entering the market, UNCX’s commitment to security, transparency, and usability has made them an indispensable piece of DeFi infrastructure.
Key Security Challenges
As the foundation for countless token launches, UNCX’s smart contracts hold real value — and responsibility. The team identified two primary challenges that prompted them to seek Halborn’s expertise:
Securing Core Infrastructure at Scale
With contracts like liquidity lockers and vesting schedules embedded in launch strategies, even a single vulnerability could have wide-reaching consequences across ecosystems. UNCX needed an audit that matched the gravity of their role in the broader DeFi landscape.
Cross-Chain Expansion Without Compromise
Expanding across multiple blockchains introduced new attack surfaces and behavioral differences. UNCX wanted to ensure that their logic remained secure and resilient in diverse environments, without introducing subtle, chain-specific bugs.
Halborn’s Solutions
To meet UNCX’s unique needs, Halborn delivered a tailored engagement focused on both immediate audit results and long-term value.
Thorough Code Review and Threat Modeling
Halborn performed an in-depth audit of UNCX’s smart contracts, simulating attack vectors, edge cases, and logic manipulation scenarios. They flagged potential issues that internal reviews hadn’t uncovered and provided clear, actionable reports that accelerated remediation.
Post-Audit Support and Strategic Security Advisory
Beyond the audit, Halborn stayed engaged—offering clarification, design feedback, and helping the UNCX team think long-term about their evolving security needs. They didn’t just assess vulnerabilities; they shared insights from years of experience observing attack patterns and post-mortems across DeFi.
Throughout the process, the UNCX team was especially impressed by Halborn’s grasp of the broader impact their contracts could have on the ecosystem. “Our contracts are used by thousands of teams,” said Hubert Matecki, CPO of UNCX Network, “so we needed a security partner who understood the responsibility that comes with that — Halborn did.”
What Set Halborn Apart
Halborn’s expertise extended beyond technical knowledge. Their team demonstrated a deep understanding of real-world attacker behaviors, helping the UNCX team frame their security posture through the eyes of adversaries. This shift in mindset allowed UNCX to move beyond defensive code reviews and toward proactive exploit prevention—tailored to their specific role in the DeFi ecosystem.
Results
Enhanced Confidence in Security and Design Choices
While UNCX’s contracts were already solid, Halborn helped refine edge cases and validated the project’s most critical design assumptions. The audit gave both internal stakeholders and external users renewed confidence in UNCX’s platform.
External Perspective That Strengthened Operational Resilience
The engagement served as a strategic checkpoint. Halborn’s outside perspective gave UNCX clarity on what could go wrong—not in theory, but based on what the industry has seen in production—ensuring that their tools remain resilient as the platform continues to scale.
Going Above and Beyond
Halborn’s collaboration with UNCX Network exemplifies what it means to have a true security partner—not just an auditor. From the outset, Halborn approached the engagement with a clear understanding of how critical UNCX’s contracts are to token issuers, launchpads, and their communities. Our team not only provided timely audits but also invested time to explain the “why” behind each finding and helped UNCX model their threat surface across evolving attack trends.
Our willingness to stay engaged post-audit, answer follow-up questions, and act as a strategic thought partner gave UNCX confidence not only in their code but in their broader security posture. For a platform used by thousands of teams, this kind of dedicated, context-aware support was invaluable. Halborn’s work helped reinforce UNCX’s role as one of the most trusted names in token infrastructure, giving every project that builds on top of them a stronger foundation.
For projects building foundational DeFi infrastructure, security isn’t a checkbox—it’s a relationship. Halborn brings technical depth, clear communication, and real-world perspective to every engagement. We don’t just understand code—we understand context. And that’s what makes us stand out.
