Translate complex blockchain data and infrastructure concepts into audit-relevant testing strategies (e.g., token existence and ownership, smart contract behavior, validator activity, key custody)
Bridge the gap between tokenomics and financial reporting, helping teams understand how the underlying economics of token utilities, vesting, governance, and distributions may impact revenue recognition, liability classification, or asset measurement
Manage relationships with third-party blockchain data and tooling providers, including software evaluation, sourcing, onboarding, and ongoing communication
Serve as the technical liaison between internal engineers/blockchain specialists and assurance professionals—ensuring technical procedures are audit-ready and support key assertions
Support the development of assurance tools and templates for less widely adopted blockchains and protocols, including proof-of-reserve, validator verification, and wallet ownership validation
