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 boost the safety of the Ethereum protocol by a large-scale crowdsourced safety audit competitors.
We invite the complete Ethereum neighborhood — from auditing corporations to particular person safety researchers — to take part on this essential occasion to assist safe the Ethereum Protocol.
You may get began in your journey into understanding the Ethereum Protocol by way of stay and pre-recorded technical walkthroughs by 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 part 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 part ensures that members are well-prepared to establish and perceive potential vulnerabilities.
In the course of the Attackathon, safety researchers will actively seek for vulnerabilities within the protocol’s code. They are going to comply with particular guidelines set for the competitors, and solely impactful and rule-compliant studies can be rewarded. This part focuses on real-time problem-solving and making use of the information gained through the preliminary part.
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.
