WAVECT vs SOFTSTACK

Wavect or Softstack. A security-led audit and Web3 shop, or the team that builds the smart contracts, the protocol and the product, then has it independently audited.

Softstack is one of the strongest smart contract audit names in the German-speaking market, with development and consulting alongside. We build the whole thing: smart contracts, protocol, on-chain infrastructure and the product around them, then route the independent audit to specialists. If all you need is a reputable audit of a finished contract, go straight to Softstack. If you need it built in the first place, the comparison shifts.

“We needed the protocol built, shipped and audited. We found three great auditors and zero teams that would own the product end to end.”

How they actually differ

Six dimensions where Softstack and Wavect actually diverge.

WAVECT DIMENSION ALTERNATIVE

Building and shipping the whole system. Smart contracts, protocol, on-chain infrastructure, bridges and wallets, plus the full-stack product around them.

CORE STRENGTH

Web3 security and audits. Smart contract auditing, pentesting and dApp audits, ISO 27001 per their published figures.

We write the contracts and the protocol, write secure Solidity and follow a pre-audit checklist, then bring in a dedicated third party. We do not independently audit our own code.

AUDIT / SECURITY

Their core. Independent third-party audits with a public track record across major chains.

Weekly outcome fee or fixed-price Werkvertrag. No timesheets.

PRICING MODEL

Project-based audit and development engagements. Pricing not published.

Founder plus the senior engineer building it.

WHO YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO

Their audit and delivery teams.

We push back on scope. We will tell you if the token mechanic does not make sense before we build it.

PRODUCT JUDGEMENT

Engaged to develop or audit to spec. Strong on security, less on the product question.

Refund the last week if it did not blow you away. Werkvertrag on fixed-price work.

WHAT IF IT FAILS

Per their published engagement terms.

When each is the better call

// 01

When Wavect is the better call

  • You need it built, not just reviewed. The smart contracts, the protocol, the on-chain infrastructure, and the full product around them.
  • You want one team owning the whole build and arranging the independent audit, not a builder and an auditor you stitch together yourself.
  • The product question is still open and you want someone who challenges the mechanic, not just checks it for reentrancy.
  • You value a team that has shipped on real chains. We have run cross-chain bridges and account abstraction live on mainnet.
// 02

When Softstack is the better call

  • You have a finished contract and need a reputable, independent audit. That is exactly what Softstack is built for, and we would point you there.
  • You need ISO 27001-grade security process, penetration testing or a formal compliance certification.
  • You want a brand-name audit on the report for investors or an exchange listing.
  • Your engineering is in house and security review is the only gap.

For an independent audit of an existing contract, Softstack is the specialist and we will say so. To build the product and arrange the audit, talk to us.

FAQs

FAQs

We build smart contracts, protocols and on-chain infrastructure, write secure Solidity, and follow a pre-audit checklist. What we do not do is independently audit our own code, you should never use your builder as your only auditor. For the audit itself we bring in or recommend a specialist like Softstack.
Yes, for what they are strongest at. If you have a finished contract that needs an independent, reputable audit, a dedicated audit firm beats asking the team that wrote the code. That is honest practice, not a weakness.
That is a clean split and a good one. We build and ship, an independent firm audits. We arrange it, or you bring your own auditor.
Different products, so the comparison only holds inside a defined scope. An audit is an audit fee. A product build is a weekly outcome or a fixed-price Werkvertrag. We are not the cheaper audit, because we are not the audit.
Yes. Cross-chain bridge work securing seven figures and account abstraction live on mainnet, among others. See LightBridge and account abstraction.
