Testnet Security Checks

Validate your smart contracts’ security on testnets before mainnet deployment. BevorAI provides comprehensive testnet analysis to identify vulnerabilities, test attack scenarios, and ensure your contracts are production-ready.
Building a chain or testing deployed contracts? Paste a contract address into the Dashboard to analyze instantly. Chain builders can also schedule cron jobs to scan their network using the API Reference.

    '0x5678...contract2'
  ],
  monitoring: {
    realTime: true,
    alerts: ['critical', 'high'],

    analysis: {
      transactions: true,
      stateChanges: true,
      economicMetrics: true,

​
Testnet-Specific Security Considerations

​
Environment Differences

Testnet vs Mainnet Risks
  • Reduced Economic Incentives: Lower value attacks may not be tested
  • Different User Behavior: Testing patterns vs real usage
  • Network Conditions: Different congestion and gas price dynamics
  • Oracle Reliability: Testnet oracles may have different characteristics
Mitigation Strategies
  • Simulate mainnet economic conditions
  • Test with realistic transaction volumes
  • Use production-equivalent oracle configurations
  • Analyze worst-case network scenarios

​
Realistic Testing Scenarios

Economic Stress Testing 
# Simulate high-value scenarios
bevor stress-test \
  --contract 0x1234...abcd \
  --network goerli \
  --scenario high-tvl \
  --simulate-value 100M USD \
  --attack-budget 10M USD
Network Congestion Testing 
# Test under congestion conditions
bevor congestion-test \
  --contract 0x1234...abcd \
  --network goerli \
  --gas-price-range 50-500 \
  --block-time-variance 2x \
  --mempool-simulation
