How to find a secure project in crypto that won’t get hacked right away? Strong audit means lower chances of finding a project in the yearly Chainalysis hack report. Since the start of 2026, there have been 14 major hacks, totaling over $690M, 8 of which were related to smart-contract hacks.
In this article, we gathered projects past their MVP stage that have completed Hacken audits and offer compelling long-term value alongside real-world utility.
In self-custodial and DeFi space smart-contract audits are like last-stage field tests in Biotech: they make or break the project’s future, since without a proper audit project can’t promise security and safety of users' funds.
Let’s take a dive and see which ones have their smart contracts audited.
Neyro’s agentic product completed the Hacken audit, and there’s an ongoing Certik audit as well.
In short, Neyro is two products in one trench coat: zero-slippage zero-price impact DEX for all the trading needs praised for its speed and low fees thanks to Polygon integration, and an upcoming no-code Agentic Layer made to build custom agents and let them roam free in the wilds of DeFi.
Neyro was co-founded by Andrew Isaacs, a former Morgan Stanley and Galaxy Digital Managing Director with 18+ years of experience in TradFi. They offer $5M insurance fund for user funds, and Neyro’s DEX boasts toolsets such as OpenZeppelin and Trail of Bits as their audit partner as well.
While Neyro promises almost a killer app for agentic DeFi trading, there is a catch: their DEX product still has yet to deliver the Earn module.

Web3 Messenger apps are the next big thing in privacy, because they can’t sell user data to FAANG (or MANGOS). At least, that’s the promise.
One of such apps is Dlicom: Web3 messenger with E2E encryption, feed of all friends activities, a place to post reels and receive crypto tips for doing so without intermediaries. Every account is tied to EVM-compatible (works in Ethereum-like chains) self-custodial wallets.

With it, people can use their real-world experience to make digital twins that can use said experience. That’s the elevator pitch of Twin Protocol: create a digital counterpart with, power it with documented knowledge (in the form of PDFs, videos and other docs), and monetize the outcome.
Anything is uploadable: browser history, chat logs from any messenger, Obsidian’s MD files, PDFs, DOCX files. Knowledge and expertise is uploaded to a secure vault, which can only be accessed with a private key, so data won’t leak.
AITECH cloud network is a way to access scarce hardware for AI training and HPC operations. Since the AI boom sucks every spare GPU out of the market, this is a viable alternative.
AITECH is a decentralized AI infra provider; they rent out GPUs for complex computing tasks, help to train AI models and render data in real time.
Think of AITECH like a marketplace for buying compute power on demand. Don’t need to purchase 50 H200s, rent their computing time instead. They promise access to H100, H200, B100, B200, B300, L40, and RTX 6000 ADA & Pro.
Covalent is an infrastructure layer for AI and agentic workflows, designed to source on-chain data from 100+ blockchains at once. This is a product for those who build AI agents who need to know what’s going on in the on-chain space.
Their recent product, Covalent Cloud, is to crypto what AWS to regular web — a way to manage infra without need for going too deep into devops and containerization.
In the dwindling supply of hardware, Covalent is also one way to hook up serverless hardware clusters like Nvidia’s H100s via Python with data from 100+ chains to train AI models, run simulations or deploy native Web3 AI agents.
