The Firm
About Erudite Intelligence
Built by builders. For builders.
Background
Who We Are
Erudite Intelligence LLC is a US-based smart contract security firm founded by a veteran engineer with deep roots in blockchain infrastructure development. We are incorporated in Ohio and registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a Money Service Business — Registration #31000324258137.
We are not consultants who learned to read Solidity last year. We build blockchain infrastructure in production. We have authored npm packages, contributed to open-source payment protocols, and run live token contracts on Ethereum, Base, and Tron. We audit your contracts because we understand how they work in production — not just in theory.
Our active involvement in blockchain infrastructure means we encounter the same attack surfaces, edge cases, and integration risks that your contracts face. That practical knowledge informs how we review code: not just checking boxes against a known vulnerability list, but reasoning about how your specific contract behaves under adversarial conditions.
We keep our engagements focused and our client list small enough that each project receives genuine attention. We do not run your code through a tool, generate a PDF, and call it an audit.
Registration
Credentials & Registration
FinCEN registration is not a formality — it reflects a legal obligation to maintain appropriate compliance standards. We take our regulatory posture seriously, which is the same standard we apply when evaluating your contracts.
Philosophy
Our Approach
Security auditing is a discipline of precision and doubt. A good auditor assumes nothing — they verify everything. They ask not just "does this work as intended?" but "how could this be made to not work as intended, and by whom?"
We approach every engagement with the assumption that the code will be deployed to a live, adversarial environment where every function call costs money and every mistake is permanent. That framing changes how we read code.
We do not publish findings we cannot substantiate. We do not inflate severity to make reports look impressive. Every finding in our reports has a clearly explained rationale, a specific code location, and a concrete remediation path. We would rather deliver a clean report with three real findings than a bloated report padding out informational observations to justify a fee.
Clients who work with us get direct access to the reviewer — not a ticketing system, not a junior analyst relaying messages. If you have questions about a finding, you can ask the person who found it.
