Kauz Security Services

Last update: June 2025

Hi there! I'm Dominik Muhs, and I spend my days helping teams build more secure systems. Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to work with many different projects, from established protocols to early-stage teams just getting started. I enjoy the detective work that comes with security research, digging into code to understand how things work and where they might break. I work independently and as a founding member of Creed.

Services

Most of my time is spent doing manual code reviews of smart contracts written in Solidity. My background in backend development helps when I need to look at the Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Golang code that often sits alongside the contracts.

I also do penetration testing work, usually when teams want someone to look at both their smart contracts and the applications that interact with them. Sometimes, the interesting issues are in how these different pieces talk to each other.

I'm always happy to chat about security architecture or help think through threat models for teams that are still figuring things out. I've also worked with individuals and organizations on operational security - things like securing key management, improving security practices, and reducing risks for high-value targets. Whether you're building something new or have a security question you're mulling over, feel free to reach out.

If you'd like to discuss a project or just have a security question, drop me a line at hello@kauz.gmbh. I'm always happy to chat.
