We are thrilled to share that we’ve completed a total of seven Smart Contract Audits for the re.al and its featured ecosystem protocols: Tangible and Pearl. Hacken is excited to help secure these innovative RWA projects and enhance trust in the ecosystem.

re.al is the DeFi-native L2 for tokenized RWAs, leveraging off-chain yields to build deep on-chain liquidity. It harnesses the power of DeFi composability to transform valuable, real-world assets, amplifying the impact of traditionally off-chain assets.
Tangible is a leading tokenization protocol that brings valuable, real-world assets and yield on-chain. As a foundational component of the ecosystem, Tangible’s products provide uncorrelated, off-chain yield that powers other protocols.
Pearl is the leading DEX for tokenized RWAs, optimizing swaps, liquidity, and incentives for its users. With the introduction of Pearl v2, it enhances its innovative, incentive-driven flywheel by adding concentrated liquidity and a proprietary Active Liquidity Manager.

Client Testimonial
“Hacken was instrumental in the development of re.al and the ecosystem of protocols deployed at launch.
<p>Our project is unique in the sense that it’s not just a customized Orbit chain, but also a collection of protocols designed to complement and work together to support early liquidity growth. As such, we needed a comprehensive solution to audits and a partner who could understand the chain, the protocols and how they worked together to ensure a safe and secure launch for re.al. We found that with Hacken.</p>
<p>Dima and Vladyslav [Account and Delivery Managers] worked closely with us on timing and priorities to build an audit flow that allowed us to bring the chain and protocols to deployment in the safest and most efficient manner possible, aligning with the deadlines of our GTM planning.</p>
<p>The audit process was exhaustive, with Hacken’s auditors taking a comprehensive and finely detailed approach to protocol audits and documentation. Our internal smart contracts team was extremely pleased with the thorough reports that came from both preliminary and final audits.</p>
<p>As the chain and protocols have gotten traction and modifications have been made to products to meet the needs of our users, the team at Hacken have been available to review updates to the contracts and assist us with ongoing security needs for the ecosystem.<br>
We look forward to continuing our partnership.”" class="wp-image-22697"></figure></p>

<p>Together, these protocols unleash the transformative powers of DeFi, driving the future of tokenized real-world assets. Hacken, a no stranger to equity tokenization itself, has audited these three projects, verifying their security.</p>

LLM Security Frameworks: A CISO’s Guide to ISO, NIST & Emerging AI Regulation

GenAI is no longer an R&D side project; it now answers tickets, writes marketing copy, even ships code. That shift exposes organisations to new failure modes — model poisoning, prompt injection, catastrophic hallucination — that sit outside traditional security audits. Meanwhile, lawmakers are racing to codify “trustworthy AI”: * EU AI

Mastering Cosmos Security: Best Practices for Appchain Builders

Architecting sovereign, application-specific blockchains with the Cosmos SDK, CometBFT, and Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol lets you ship scalable, interoperable networks tuned to any use-case or governance model. That same modular power also widens the attack surface – every layer introduces new states, message types, and trust assumptions that hungry attackers probe

Real-World OP Fault-Proof Vulnerabilities & Fixes

The Fault-Proof System in the OP Stack is under active development and subject to frequent modifications. It has also undergone multiple security audits, during which several vulnerabilities were identified. In this blog post, we’ll discuss five real-world bugs that auditors and researchers uncovered in early 2024-25. While all identified

Bybit Secures MiCAR License in Austria with Hacken’s Support

To serve nearly 500 million users across the European Economic Area (EEA), Bybit needed a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) license from Austria’s Financial Market Authority (FMA). Acquiring that license required more than paperwork – regulators demand hard, technical proof that every Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) can withstand real-world cyber-attacks.
