The Protocol Safety Analysis Group 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 $1,500,000, hosted by Immunefi. The attackathon runs between November twenty fifth and January twentieth and goals to reinforce the safety of the Ethereum protocol by means of a large-scale crowdsourced safety audit competitors.
We invite all the Ethereum neighborhood — from auditing companies to particular person safety researchers — to take part on this necessary occasion to assist safe the Ethereum Protocol.
You will get began in your journey into understanding the Ethereum Protocol by way of stay and pre-recorded technical walkthroughs by means of the Academy.
The Attackathon is co-sponsored by:
- Bybit
- Wormhole
- Arbitrum
- 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 by way of stay technical walkthroughs and academic content material from the Attackathon Academy. This section ensures that members are well-prepared to establish and perceive potential vulnerabilities.
Throughout the Attackathon, safety researchers will actively seek for vulnerabilities within the protocol’s code. They’ll comply with particular guidelines set for the competitors, and solely impactful and rule-compliant studies can be rewarded. This section focuses on real-time problem-solving and making use of the data 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.
