Security firm specializing in Solana, Rust, and non-EVM ecosystems
Last updated: July 2026
OtterSec is a security firm that has become a go-to auditor for Solana, Rust-based programs, and other non-EVM ecosystems — a space where fewer firms have deep expertise. Founded by researchers with strong competitive-security backgrounds, it's known for rigorous reviews of Solana programs, Move-based chains, Cosmos, and other systems that differ substantially from the EVM, as well as EVM work. Because Solana and Rust security has distinct pitfalls (account model quirks, missing signer checks, arithmetic issues) that EVM-focused auditors may not catch, OtterSec's specialization is genuinely valuable for projects in those ecosystems, and it has audited many prominent Solana protocols. The trade-offs: as a newer, specialist firm its overall track record is shorter than decade-old EVM incumbents, demand for scarce Solana/Rust expertise means scheduling ahead, and engagements are premium-priced. But for projects building on Solana, in Rust, or in other non-EVM environments — where finding auditors with real depth is genuinely hard — OtterSec is one of the most respected and frequently-recommended choices in the space.
