## Products

- [MixBytes Audit](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixbytes): MixBytes Audit delivers smart contract security reviews through dedicated three-auditor teams for EVM-compatible and Substrate-based protocols. The process covers four stages: interim code analysis using hacker-mindset and structured checklist approaches, re-audit of implemented fixes, final mainnet deployment verification, and continuous support for subsequent protocol updates. CTO-level review of all reports maintains consistent quality standards across engagements. (Smart Contract Audits, Live, Main Product)
- [MixBytes Research & Consulting](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixbytes): MixBytes Research & Consulting provides technical advisory for DeFi protocol teams across the development lifecycle, from initial architecture design through post-deployment operations. Services cover secure protocol design review, protocol draft assessment, audit coverage verification, monitoring and alert system configuration, deployment verification on L1 and L2 networks, and on-chain investigation of live operational issues. Engagements follow structured phases with milestone demos and final deliverables including reports and supporting code repositories. (Service Provider, Live)
- [MixBytes Camp](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixbytes): MixBytes Camp is a competitive audit contest platform enabling blockchain projects to source vulnerability reports from a vetted community of independent security researchers. Projects provide a scoped smart contract codebase and a prize fund; a coordinator manages participant onboarding, contest logistics, and finding triage before delivering a unified audit report. Researcher remuneration is calculated based on the severity and validity of submitted findings. (Bug Bounty Competitions, Live)
- [FARM CTF](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixbytes): FARM CTF is a smart contract security challenge platform presenting a series of Solidity-based puzzle contracts deployed on Ethereum for users to exploit. Built on the Ethernaut model, the platform provides a browser-console interface where participants solve each level by identifying and executing the relevant attack vector against deployed contract addresses, building practical vulnerability detection and exploitation skills. (Education and Training, Live)
- [Haya](https://thegrid.id/profiles/mixbytes): Haya is a customizable blockchain development framework built on an EOS base, providing fast DPoS consensus with a RANDPA-based finality algorithm targeting sub-two-second transaction confirmation. The framework integrates a Publicly Verifiable Random Beacon via threshold BLS signatures accessible within smart contracts, WebAssembly-compatible contract execution with cryptographic library support, transaction sponsorship enabling fee-free user interactions, and configurable on-chain governance with block producer management.
