Most founders underestimate how much time and money slips away when they go into an audit unprepared. We’ve seen teams struggle because the repo wasn’t frozen, the scope wasn’t clear, or there was no single point of contact for auditors. Builders already using Areta Market save

2/ Builders stay in control with Areta Market. They upload a request once, compare offers, then pick what aligns with their budget, scope, and timeline. And, auditors? They finally get visibility. Instead of waiting on who-knows-who to refer deals, they can proactively bid on.

1/ The audit sourcing process for crypto builders has historically been a mess. Endless outreach, unpredictable pricing, and the effort of chasing down a few proposals. Not exactly efficient. Here’s how we’re changing that. One request can trigger responses from 10–12 vetted
