We’re thrilled to announce a new integration between Octane and Avalanche, designed to bring proactive, scalable security to builders in the Avalanche ecosystem. Security should never be a bottleneck. With this integration, Avalanche is making it easier for developers to identify vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle — before audits, bug bounties, and well before code is deployed to production. Together, we’re setting a new standard: one where security is built in from the start, not added at the end.
Octane x Avalanche: Announcing New Security Integration for Builders
We’re thrilled to announce a new integration between Octane and Avalanche, designed to bring proactive, scalable security to builders in the Avalanche ecosystem. Security should never be a bottleneck. With this integration, Avalanche is making it easier for developers to identify vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle — before audits, bug bounties, and well before code is deployed to production. Together, we’re setting a new standard: one where security is built in from the start, not added at the end.
Protecting the Avalanche Ecosystem
Avalanche builders now have access to Octane’s smart contract security platform, an AI-powered system purpose-built to help developers ship faster by catching the bugs that matter, when they matter most.
This isn’t just a tool. It’s ecosystem-wide infrastructure. By integrating directly into developer workflows, Octane makes pre-deployment security a seamless part of the builder journey, empowering teams to catch critical vulnerabilities early without slowing down.
To ensure findings are as relevant and actionable as possible, Octane is custom-tuning its detection models to Avalanche’s architecture. We're ingesting Avalanche-specific documentation, including protocol whitepapers and technical references, so our models understand the context behind the code they scan. That means fewer false positives, more meaningful results, and protection tailored to how Avalanche actually works.
Smart Contract Security for Builders
When you're moving fast, smart contract security often feels like something you’ll deal with later. But waiting means risk, and rushing to fix issues right before launch can lead to delays, stress, and costly mistakes. Octane is designed to change that.
"Too many Web3 teams discover their biggest security issues right before launch," said Giovanni Vignone, CEO of Octane Security. "We've seen teams spend months building amazing protocols, only to hit major security roadblocks when they're trying to ship. That last-minute scramble is stressful, expensive and risky. Our joint integration lets Avalanche builders catch problems early when they're easy to fix, so they can deploy with confidence instead of crossing their fingers."
By integrating directly into the development process, Octane helps builders uncover vulnerabilities early, long before they become launch blockers. Teams don’t have to pause progress or shift priorities to stay secure. Instead, protection is baked in as they build, so progress and security move forward together.
For Avalanche teams, this means:
- Security becomes part of your everyday workflow, not a last-minute scramble
- Faster development cycles, with fewer surprises before launch
- More confident deployments, backed by clear, actionable feedback
- Peace of mind for your team and your users, from day one
The earlier you identify smart contract vulnerabilities, the easier they are to fix. With Octane, that early feedback is built in from the start, not bolted on at the end.
“Security is essential for building in web3, but it’s often the last step in the process. This integration flips that dynamic by embedding high-signal security checks directly into the development workflow, tailored specifically for Avalanche’s architecture,” said Eric Kang, Head of DeFi at Ava Labs. “It’s a win for builders in the Avalanche ecosystem: faster iteration, lower audit costs, and more secure code from day one."
Early Results From Avalanche Teams
Initial AI-powered code analyses with Avalanche teams have already shown what’s possible when security is integrated early, not after launch, but directly within the build process. By plugging into existing development workflows, Octane helped teams uncover critical issues quickly, apply fixes fast, and maintain momentum without sacrificing safety.
In just four projects, Octane demonstrated real impact for builders:
- Scanned 210,881 lines of code
- Flagged 217 total findings, including critical vulnerabilities
- Our seasoned security team delivered 177 pieces of actionable feedback
- Helped protect over $261 million in TVL
All of this happened while teams continued building. There were no drawn-out delays, no complex onboarding, and no bottlenecks. Just fast, focused security that helps builders move forward with confidence.
