Cosmos Security Reviews for SDK Chains, CosmWasm, IBC, and Gno

Taran.Space has delivered 15 Cosmos ecosystem security reviews across Cosmos SDK chains, CosmWasm smart contracts, IBC and bridge integrations, GnoLand VM work, DeFi modules, governance systems, and cross-chain execution layers. Our Cosmos track spans both Rust-heavy CosmWasm projects and Go-based Cosmos SDK/Tendermint systems, including audits for Axelar, DAO DAO, Dymension, GnoLand, Hyperlane, MANTRA, Osmosis, THORChain, Timewave, and ZIGChain.

Hyperlane connects blockchain networks through a modular interoperability layer for cross-chain messaging and application deployment. The review was delivered under the Oak Security brand and covered Hyperlane’s CosmWasm integration components, including Cosmos-to-EVM messaging, mailbox behavior, hooks, interchain security modules, and warp-route logic.

The work focused on cross-chain message validity, replay resistance, Merkle tree handling, multisig ISM verification, validator and threshold assumptions, fee and gas behavior, and the integration risks that appear when interoperability infrastructure spans multiple execution environments.

THORChain is a cross-chain liquidity network that enables native asset swaps across blockchain ecosystems. We contributed to Oak Security’s review of THORChain hard-fork-related validator and Cosmos upgrade logic, focusing on protocol-update safety for the network.

The work covered validator-scheduled upgrade behavior, Cosmos hard-fork assumptions, Go implementation details, and failure modes that could affect network coordination during protocol transitions.

Dymension is a Cosmos-based network for modular appchains and RollApps, combining Cosmos SDK infrastructure with execution-layer components derived from the RDK and EVMOS stack. Across several Oak Security reports, our work covered core network logic, Cosmos SDK modules, and EVM-compatible execution surfaces involved in Dymension’s protocol architecture.

The reviews focused on chain-level correctness, upgrade and execution assumptions, module behavior, and the interaction between Cosmos-native infrastructure and EVM-facing components. The project adds a strong Cosmos, Go, and EVM protocol-security case to the portfolio.

Nym is decentralized privacy infrastructure built around a mixnet that protects network-level metadata as well as message contents. Through Oak Security, we reviewed Nym’s mixnet-related on-chain components, vesting logic, and wallet security.

The review focused on user safety, key-management risk, distribution correctness, and the contract logic supporting participation, rewards, and long-term network operation.

ZIGChain is a Cosmos-based Layer 1 focused on wealth management, DeFi infrastructure, and on-chain financial applications. The audits were published by Oak Security, with our work covering multiple ZIGChain releases across custom chain modules, the x/dex module, reward-contract logic, and updates across Cosmos SDK, CosmWasm, and EVM-compatible integration surfaces.

The work spanned application-level DeFi behavior and chain infrastructure, including swap and DEX logic, reward accounting, module validation paths, smart-contract execution assumptions, and the operational safety of financial flows built into the network.

DAO DAO provides Cosmos-based infrastructure for creating and managing decentralized organizations. Its smart-contract system supports governance, treasury operations, staking and voting modules, proposal execution, and factory extensions used by DAOs across IBC-enabled ecosystems.

Our Oak Security work covered multiple DAO DAO releases, including vesting, payroll, rewards distribution, voting, and permission-granularity components. The review focused on CosmWasm/Rust contract correctness, governance execution safety, token and delegation edge cases, and the financial flows that support DAO operations.

Osmosis Transmuter is a CosmWasm/Rust component for converting between multiple assets within the Osmosis ecosystem. In Oak Security’s public reviews, we examined two versions of the Transmuter contracts, focusing on multi-asset swap behavior, conversion correctness, validation paths, and edge cases that could break accounting or allow invalid asset movement.

The work covered the invariants behind specialized liquidity and conversion flows, including how token balances, swap behavior, and contract validation interact inside a production Cosmos DeFi environment.

Centauri connected the Cosmos and Polkadot ecosystems through IBC-style light-client bridging. Our Oak Security work covered Centauri’s verification logic, relayer assumptions, trust boundaries, and the security model behind moving messages and assets between Cosmos chains and DotSama networks.

A later review covered fixes for the Grandpa CosmWasm Light Client, extending the work into proof verification and finality-related bridge logic. The engagement focused on cross-chain correctness, light-client assumptions, and the failure modes that can appear when two different interoperability ecosystems meet.

MANTRA is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built around real-world assets and on-chain financial infrastructure. Our Oak Security work covered multiple MANTRA tracks, including DEX functionality, airdrop logic, and later claimdrop-update components across the MANTRA ecosystem.

The reviews focused on DeFi execution paths, token distribution flows, smart-contract correctness, and integration surfaces across Cosmos, EVM, Solidity, Rust, and Go components. The project adds a broad real-world-asset DeFi case with both chain-level and application-level security scope.
