Radcipher is a platform and service provider focused on addressing security risks within the Web3 ecosystem through education, community building, and security audit services. It aims to empower Web3 auditors and projects by providing structured knowledge, mentorship, and high-quality private audits. [1]
Overview
Radcipher's vision is to establish itself as a trusted partner in Web3 security. The initiative combines educational resources, a community aspect, and expert audit services to support the ecosystem. Its stated mission includes equipping aspiring security auditors with necessary skills, offering reliable and actionable audit services to blockchain protocols, and fostering a community-driven security environment. Radcipher intends to differentiate its offerings by integrating education, community support, and professional services, leveraging experience gained from real-world audit contests to deliver practical insights and bridge the gap between self-taught auditors and professional security consulting firms. [1][2]
The approach is designed to cater to different levels of expertise, from beginners seeking to enter the field to experienced auditors looking to refine their skills, as well as Web3 projects requiring thorough security assessments. By focusing on practical knowledge and real-world application, Radcipher aims to contribute to a more secure Web3 landscape. [1]
Products
Radcipher offers three primary components as part of its service and education model: the Audit Vault, the 0xAudit Club, and Private Audits.
Audit Vault: This product is presented as a comprehensive resource available in PDF format, with an optional Notion-accessible version. It compiles information on real-world vulnerabilities, detailed breakdowns of attack vectors, and strategies for conducting security audits. It is designed for individuals participating in audit contests, solo auditors, and those seriously studying Web3 security.
0xAudit Club: Launched following the Audit Vault, this is intended as a private mentorship group. Its goal is to accelerate the learning curve for beginners aiming to participate in audit contests or secure roles within the Web3 security sector. Access is planned to be either invite-only or granted through the purchase of the Audit Vault.
Private Audits: Radcipher provides confidential security audit services to selected Web3 projects. The focus is on delivering high-quality audits with efficient turnaround times and actionable recommendations. The audit methodology includes manual code review, the use of automated security tools, clear threat modeling, transparent reporting, and post-audit guidance. These services are targeted at Web3 protocols, startups, and project founders.
These components represent Radcipher's multi-faceted approach to addressing security needs within the Web3 space, combining educational resources with professional services. [1]

Ecosystem
Radcipher's growth strategy involves several key areas, outlined in a roadmap with four phases. Marketing efforts are planned to be content-first, utilizing an email list and waitlist system for engagement. The strategy also includes implementing referral and ambassador programs to encourage community growth and outreach. Strategic partnerships are envisioned as a means to expand reach and capabilities. [1]
The roadmap phases included:
Phase 1: Core Priorities (Launched early June 2025): Launched the MVP, VaultAudit, as a resource for Web3 security professionals focusing on bug case studies, exploit playbooks, and audit tactics.
Phase 2: 0xAudit Club (Launched after MVP): Launched the Private Club community with mentors and researchers to help with beginner-level Web3 security topics.
Phase 3: Scaling & Growth (1-3 Months from MVP Launch): Began offering private audits to clients and scaled the 0xAudit Club through targeted outreach. This phase included adding premium features such as in-depth courses, mentorship programs, and private content tailored for serious auditors and dev teams, and pursued partnerships with audit firms, tool builders, and Web3 projects.
Phase 4: Community-Driven Expansion & Full-Spectrum Launch Support (Months 6–12 from MVP Launch): This phase marks the shift from building to scaling — powered by the community. Radcipher plans to develop an interactive platform that fosters collaboration, peer learning, and real-world experience through audit opportunities. Beyond security, Radcipher plans to expand into full-spectrum Web3 product support — offering services that go from tokenomics design to pre-launch consulting, including go-to-market strategies, security audits, and governance planning. Strategic partnerships, speaking opportunities, and a strong brand presence are key components.
Brand building is expected to occur through participation in events, speaking engagements, and ongoing content marketing initiatives. [1][2]
