Pharos has publicly stated that it has a number of prominent security partners in place for its upcoming mainnet launch. This move shows that institutional-grade security and operational resiliency are at the heart of Pharos, making it a financially prepared layer 1 for use in RealFi applications. Pharos develops complex security systems for infrastructure, auditing and monitoring levels as well as incident response through partnerships with well-known international cloud providers and leading companies in Web3 security.
Pharos is proud to announce our key security partners ahead of our mainnet launch.

This announcement comes as Pharos continues to gain momentum as a comprehensive financial layer 1 aimed at bringing real-world value and institutional-grade assets to more people. The network has the support of major investors such as Hack VC and Faction VC to strengthen trust among all developers, institutions, and users before participating at scale.
Enterprise cloud security with Alibaba Cloud and AWS
At the infrastructure level, Pharos works with Alibaba Cloud and Amazon Web Services to provide cloud security at the enterprise level. Both suppliers have a long history of supporting global organizations’ mission-critical infrastructure with the high availability and resilience of Pharos networks.
These collaborations allow Pharos to benefit from a zero trust networking model and multi-cloud distributed denial of service protection. Such solutions mitigate threats at the infrastructure level and maintain uptime and performance even during periods of high network activity. Pharos invests in ground-level reliability by building security directly into the cloud as we move to mainnet.
Comprehensive blockchain audit from industry leaders
Another pillar of Pharos’ security strategy is smart contract and protocol security. The network has hired a number of reputable Web3 security companies, including ExVul, OpenZeppelin, and Zellic, and has contracted them to perform detailed blockchain audits.
Such companies are characterized by rigorous evaluation procedures and successful acquisition of multifaceted distributed systems. Their participation ensures that Pharos undergoes comprehensive code review, threat modeling, and vulnerability testing of protocol elements. This step-by-step audit method aims to minimize system risk and increase confidence among developers and other stakeholders within the institution.
Penetration testing with Ant Skyward Security Lab
In an effort to further certify the platform’s resilience, Pharos teamed up with the Ant Skyward Security Lab, headed by security expert PDDonow, to test it using advanced penetration testing. This test mimics real-world attacks and helps identify vulnerabilities that may not be detected by regular audits.
Penetration testing is important in adversarial stress testing systems. Through these assessments prior to mainnet use, Pharos proactively addresses security risks and strengthens its defense posture for broader use.
Real-time monitoring and incident response capabilities
Pharos also implements continuous on-chain monitoring and intelligence systems that allow us to quickly identify and respond to any hazards. Hypernative Labs provides real-time monitoring so that your network can detect anomalous behavior or potential abuse in real time.
At the same time, Zeroshadow employs Web3 intelligence to spearhead incident response. This partnership enables us to investigate and address any security incidents in a timely manner, minimizing impact and restoring operational confidence. Together, these tools create a receptive security environment that continues to function once the network is up and running.
