Project SEED

Client:Project SEED

Cyrex partnered with Project SEED to conduct grey box penetration testing across its blockchain gaming ecosystem, securing Web3 integrations, smart contracts, wallet infrastructure, and platform APIs.

The Challenge

Securing a Multi-Layered Blockchain Gaming Ecosystem

Project SEED operates a comprehensive Web3 ecosystem combining a game studio, NFTs, DeFi integrations, DAO governance, and blockchain-powered gameplay infrastructure.

Such a layered architecture introduces security complexity across multiple domains:

  • Web3 integrations and on-chain interactions
  • Custodial and non-custodial wallet systems
  • Smart contracts written in SOL and Solidity
  • Platform APIs and backend services
  • Player account management workflows
  • Third-party integrations such as PlayFab

In blockchain environments, vulnerabilities can affect asset ownership, token interactions, and platform integrity. Project SEED required a structured penetration testing engagement capable of assessing both traditional application risks and blockchain-specific attack vectors.

The Cyrex Solution

Grey Box Penetration Testing Across Web3 & Platform Infrastructure

Cyrex conducted a grey box penetration test, combining partial architectural insight with real-world attack simulation. This methodology allowed our security engineers to test the system as an external attacker would, while leveraging contextual knowledge to evaluate deeper logic flows.

The objective was to identify exploitable weaknesses across both on-chain and off-chain components.

Web3 & Smart Contract Assessment

Our engagement included review and testing of:

  • Web3 integration points
  • Smart contracts written in SOL and Solidity
  • Contract interaction logic
  • Transaction validation mechanisms

We assessed potential vulnerabilities that could impact token logic, contract execution, or asset handling within the broader ecosystem.

Wallet & Asset Security

Given the importance of digital ownership, Cyrex evaluated:

  • Custodial wallet implementations
  • Non-custodial wallet integrations
  • Authorization flows for wallet access
  • Protection of user assets against unauthorized manipulation

The goal was to ensure wallet interactions were properly validated and resistant to misuse.

API & Account Security

Beyond blockchain components, Cyrex tested platform infrastructure, including:

  • API endpoints
  • Authentication and registration mechanisms
  • Player account management systems
  • PlayFab integration

We evaluated access controls, input validation, and potential exploitation paths that could affect user data or service integrity.

The Outcome

Reinforced Blockchain & Platform Security

  • Identification and remediation of smart contract and integration vulnerabilities
  • Improved wallet and asset protection mechanisms
  • Strengthened API and account-level security
  • Increased confidence in platform resilience ahead of broader adoption
