The multi-agent AI analyzes Solana programs and delivers audit reports in hours.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent Ackee audit, Trident Arena found <strong>26 issues in a leading Solana protocol<\/strong>. These included a critical-severity and a high-severity vulnerability, both independently confirmed by the manual review team.<\/p>\n<p>In benchmark testing, Trident Arena identified <strong>70% of critical\/high-severity Solana vulnerabilities<\/strong> (vs. 37% for Claude Opus 4.6 and 33% for GPT-5.2 (with extra-high reasoning)), with a <strong>low 26.56% false-positive rate<\/strong> (vs. an average of 86.67% for the plain LLMs), significantly surpassing flagship AI models.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tridentarena.xyz\"><strong>Request access<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why AI security scanning?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many Solana builders face the same bottleneck: audit slots are weeks or months out, and security feedback comes too late in the development cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Trident Arena solves this. Multi-agent AI with Solana-specific expertise scans Solana programs with the same deep security reasoning as auditors, and delivers a report with vulnerability findings, severity ratings, and remediation guidance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What makes Trident Arena different<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Multi-agent AI for Solana<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a generic LLM wrapper throwing prompts at your code. Multiple parallel agents work simultaneously, cross-checking findings and reducing false positives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Built by Solana auditors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trident Arena was built by the team behind School of Solana, and the security of protocols like Kamino, MetaDAO, Marinade and more. With 200+ security audits, we understand Solana programs to the core.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Full audit pipeline<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Import your repo, analyse the compiled code and receive a PDF report with vulnerability descriptions, severity ratings, confidence scores, and remediation guidance \u2013 all in one place.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Results in hours<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No waiting lists. No month-long delays. Trident Arena gives you comprehensive results today. Use it before your premium audit, on every deployment, or as continuous security.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Benchmarking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Benchmark data set and methodology<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No standardized dataset of vulnerable Solana programs suitable for security benchmarking currently exists. Therefore, we constructed our own benchmark using publicly available audit reports and competition findings, including only programs with verified, documented vulnerabilities. We encourage other researchers to use this dataset to improve reproducibility and comparability in future Solana security evaluations.<\/p>\n<p>We evaluated Trident Arena performance using two approaches:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Competition audits (benchmarking):<\/strong> Compare Trident Arena&#8217;s findings against known, publicly reviewed competition audit findings on publicly available codebases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Professional audits:<\/strong> Compared Trident Arena&#8217;s findings against findings from audits performed by professional security teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Benchmark results<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;\">\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\">Protocol<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\">Trident Arena<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\">Opus 4.6<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left; padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\">GPT-5.2xhigh<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axelar.network\/\">Axelar<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">5\/7<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">0\/7<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">0\/7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bert.global\/\">Bert Staking<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">1\/2<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">1\/2<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">1\/2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dexalot.com\/\">Dexalot<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">4\/5<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">2\/5<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">2\/5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pump.science\/\">Pump Science<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">1\/2<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">1\/2<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">0\/2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metadao.fi\/\">Metadao<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">3\/3<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">1\/3<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">1\/3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watt.si\/\">Watt<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">7\/11<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">6\/11<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;\">6\/11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\"><strong>Total:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\"><strong>21\/30<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\"><strong>11\/30<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;\"><strong>10\/30<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>This table presents a compilation of benchmarked projects evaluated using Trident Arena, Claude Opus 4.6, and GPT-5.2 (with extra-high reasoning).<\/p>\n<p>Each cell shows the number of critical\/high-severity issues identified by the AI scan relative to the total number of actual critical\/high-severity issues in the project, as determined by a professional manual audit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trident Arena<\/strong> discovered <strong>21\/30 (70%)<\/strong> of all reported critical\/high-severity vulnerabilities, versus <strong>Claude Opus 4.6 with 11\/30 (37%)<\/strong>, and <strong>GPT-5.2 (with extra-high reasoning) with 10\/30 (33%)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During the initial benchmark, we evaluated all of the findings to also measure the <strong>FP (false positive) rate<\/strong>.
