The Protocol Safety Analysis Workforce and the Ecosystem Funding Initiative on the Ethereum Basis are happy to announce the launch of the primary Ethereum protocol Attackathon with a reward pool of $1,500,000hosted by Immunefi. The attackathon runs between November twenty fifth and January twentieth and goals to boost the safety of the Ethereum protocol via a large-scale crowdsourced safety audit competitors.
We invite the whole Ethereum neighborhood — from auditing companies to particular person safety researchers — to take part on this vital occasion to assist safe the Ethereum Protocol.
You will get began in your journey into understanding the Ethereum Protocol through reside and pre-recorded technical walkthroughs via the Academy.
The Attackathon is co-sponsored by:
- Bybit
- Wormhole
- Determination
- The Graph
- GMX
- Base
What’s an Attackathon?
The Attackathon is a time-bound audit problem to bolster the safety of the Ethereum protocol. It begins with an academic section the place members obtain instruction on the protocol’s code through reside technical walkthroughs and academic content material from the Attackathon Academy. This section ensures that members are well-prepared to determine and perceive potential vulnerabilities.
In the course of the Attackathon, safety researchers will actively seek for vulnerabilities within the protocol’s code. They may observe particular guidelines set for the competitors, and solely impactful and rule-compliant reviews can be rewarded. This section focuses on real-time problem-solving and making use of the information gained through the preliminary section.
After the Attackathon, Immunefi will consider and compile the findings into an official report. This report will element the vulnerabilities found and spotlight the highest researchers, celebrating their contributions and experience.
