We're open for partnerships ahead of Season 1. If you operate a chain, accelerator, incubator, or hackathon and want your builders to ship secure smart contracts, here's how we can work together. No exclusivity, no paid priority, no selection control.
Protocols routed through a partner relationship earn up to +10 bonus points during review (+5 chain partner, +5 accelerator/incubator/hackathon partner) on top of the 100-point base. A partner-affiliated protocol can score up to 110.
Your community gets a credible audit option (founder-led, 32+ engagements). We get a higher-quality applicant pool, pre-vetted by you. Independent Builder scoring still applies — partners co-promote the program; the protocol still independently chooses Zealynx.
Open to any blockchain — minor or major — wanting to support security in its ecosystem. L1s, L2s, alt-VMs, app-chains, or niche execution layers. We don't list partner names publicly. Partnership is open to any chain that meets the bar.
What you offer: co-promote Season announcements to your builder community; verify protocol affiliation when we reach out about an applicant who declares deployment on your chain.
What you get: better security outcomes for protocols launching on your chain; brand association with a boutique founder-led audit firm; optional reserved-slot funding ($8-32k).
How the bonus works: applicants declare deployment chain on the application form. If you've partnered with us, applicants on your chain earn +5 bonus points during human review, after we verify deployment evidence (testnet or mainnet contract address, GitHub commit hash on the relevant chain).
Three program types share the same scoring mechanic but differ in cadence:
Many accelerators and incubators include hackathons as part of the cohort journey, so we treat them under one umbrella for partnership.
What you offer: co-promote Zealynx Audit Grants to your portfolio, cohort, or hackathon participants; verify cohort or hackathon affiliation when we reach out about an applicant who names your program.
What you get: a tangible benefit for your portfolio/cohort/participants; better outcomes for protocols that came through your program; differentiated offering vs. other accelerators or events.
How the bonus works: applicants declare accelerator / incubator / hackathon affiliation on a free-text application field. Partner-named applicants earn +5 bonus points during human review, after we verify with the partner's written confirmation.
Tell us briefly: organization name, type (chain or accelerator/incubator/hackathon), web/Discord/X, and what you're thinking. We'll get back within 3 business days.
