We are Ada Gen Intel LLC, a small company that runs an AI-based security review for smart contracts. We are looking for 3 teams to try it on one contract each, for free. We are early. We want to learn what works and what does not, and we may ask to write about it with your permission.
What you get
- One review of one smart contract (about 300 lines of code or fewer, “nSLOC”), at a commit you choose.
- A PDF report, and a runnable test (proof of concept) for each finding of Low severity or above.
- One check, within 30 days of the report, that the test no longer reproduces on your fixed code.
- No charge, now or later. We will not ask you to buy anything and we will not use any finding to ask you or anyone else for payment.
What we ask in return
You read one short case-study draft that we write, tell us what is wrong with it, and give up to 30 minutes of feedback on how the review went. You decide whether anything is published. You can say no, and your review still goes ahead. We never publish a finding before the issue is fixed, and we never publish exploit steps.
Only 3 slots
There are 3 free slots, ever. We choose who gets them, we may say no to anyone, and applying does not guarantee a slot. Open until all 3 are taken or November 30, 2026, whichever is first. If you apply after the slots are gone we will tell you; we do not keep a waiting list. These free slots are separate from any paid offer.
Please read this first: what the review can and cannot do
- The review is done mainly by AI systems. It is not a human audit and not a certification.
- On our own practice tests (three runs against contracts with known issues, a small sample), the method found about 27% of the known issues, and about 40% of the findings it reported were invalid. One small contract scored higher, about half. Your results could be better or worse. Misses and false reports are common.
- A report with few findings, or none, does not mean your code is safe.
- It does not replace a human audit, a contest, a bug bounty, your own tests or monitoring. Do not launch, hold funds or tell users your code is secure because of it.
- Please do not call your contract “audited” or “certified” because of this review.
Who can apply
A business that is organized in the United States, has a named person who can sign for it, and wants a review of its own code that is already public (in a repository anyone can read, with no login). We cannot take private or unreleased code in this program. Our process works offline on a copy of your code, and we send that public code and our draft findings to an AI provider, listed at adagi.blog/ai-providers, under that provider’s own terms. We have no separate confidentiality agreement with the provider. See “Public code only” below.
Your team may use pseudonyms in public. Before we start, we need the legal name of the business, and the real name and country of the person who signs and of your owners and controlling persons, so we can screen them against US sanctions lists. If we cannot get that, or the screen does not clear, we cannot take you. We do not say why in the second case. We do not take individuals buying for personal use, and we do not take teams outside the United States in this round.
Apply by email
Apply for one of 3 free design-partner reviews by emailing ada.genintel@gmail.com with the subject “Open call application”. There is no form. We use what you send to decide who gets a slot and to reply to you. See our Privacy Policy. Please include:
- Your team and the legal name of your US business, and its type and state of organization, for example “Delaware corporation”.
- A named person who can sign for the business (their name, role and the email you are writing from, or the person who will introduce them).
- A link to the public repository, with the commit or tag you want reviewed, and the contract.
- About how many lines the contract is (a range is fine, up to about 300 nSLOC).
- Your launch date, if you have one.
- That you agree we may ask to write a case study after the issues are fixed, which you can still decline.
Please do not send wallet addresses, names of owners or principals, government ID or tax numbers, home addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, private code, keys or secrets, or details of unfixed vulnerabilities. Those come later, only from the applicant we select. By applying you confirm that you are a business organized in the United States, that the code is already public and you have the right to share it, that you have read the section above on what the review can and cannot do, that there are 3 slots and applying does not guarantee one, and that if selected you must sign the addendum and pass the sanctions screen before sending code. We usually reply within 5 business days. No reply is needed if you change your mind. We use your email only for this program.
What happens next
- You apply by email, as above. We read it. We tell you whether you have a slot.
- If you do, we send a one-page signing document (the “Design-Partner Addendum”) and a request for the information needed for the sanctions screen. Both of us sign. Our side is signed by the owner of Ada Gen Intel LLC.
- When the screen is done we tell you in writing, then you send us your repository link and commit. Please do not send code or anything private before that.
- We deliver the report. We then do the fix check, and send you the case-study draft.
Terms
The review runs under our Launch Security Review Terms and the Design-Partner Addendum, which are linked or sent before you sign anything. The addendum limits each side’s liability to US$750 in total, says so plainly, and lists the limits above. Minnesota law and the terms’ dispute rules apply. By applying you are not agreeing to them yet; you agree when you sign.
Public code only
Send only code that is already public. Do not send keys, secrets, personal data, or anyone else’s confidential material, including another auditor’s private report.
