Firepan is an AI-powered smart contract security platform offering continuous auditing and risk monitoring as an alternative to one-off audits.

Founded in April 2024, they've completed audits for notable DeFi protocols (Curve Finance, Stake DAO, VIA Labs) and launched Firepan Sentinel for real-time contract risk scoring.

The product is live with working integrations (GitHub workflows, public repo scanning) and published case studies showing actual vulnerability discoveries.

Early-stage with under 1k followers but demonstrating real traction with established protocols.

Green flags: Working product with public case studies from legitimate DeFi protocols (Curve, Stake DAO) · Real vulnerability discoveries documented (high-severity findings in Curve twocrypto-ng, Stake DAO reward accounting flaw) · Live Firepan Sentinel product monitoring tokens across multiple chains · Open-source detection rules (MIT licensed on GitHub) · Very early stage (685 followers, 8-month-old account) with substance

Red flags: B2B security tooling faces adoption challenges in crypto market · Low social engagement (avg 3 interactions per tweet) despite quality content · Competing in crowded security tooling space against established players
