30+ Protocol Audits Behind Every Lesson
Zealynx Academy is built by Zealynx Security, a team that has audited 30+ production protocols. Every lesson, every test, every "what goes wrong" section comes from real audit experience.
How Audit Knowledge Shapes the Academy
Build sections
The starter code patterns come from production protocols we have audited. The TODO hints warn about the mistakes we have seen real teams make.
Security context
Every module includes real vulnerability patterns. Not theoretical examples. Patterns we found in actual audits, adapted for learning.
Test design
The automated tests check for the same things we check during audits. Invariant violations, edge cases, access control, reentrancy patterns.
Shadow Arena scoring
Findings are validated using Krait, the same engine we use for client audits. True positives and false positives scored against real contest results.
Powered by Krait
Krait is our AI-powered security analysis tool. 16 detection angles, 43 heuristics, 26 analysis modules. Available as a CLI (run it in Claude Code) or on the web at krait.zealynx.io. After you build a protocol in the Academy, you can run it through Krait for a real security review.
The full loop: Build the protocol in the Academy. Audit a fork in the Shadow Arena. Run your own version through Krait. You develop both builder and auditor instincts.
