The Protocol Safety Analysis Crew 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 via 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 necessary occasion to assist safe the Ethereum Protocol.
You may get began in your journey into understanding the Ethereum Protocol through dwell and pre-recorded technical walkthroughs via 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 contributors obtain instruction on the protocol’s code through dwell technical walkthroughs and academic content material from the Attackathon Academy. This part ensures that contributors are well-prepared to determine 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 stories will likely be rewarded. This part focuses on real-time problem-solving and making use of the data gained throughout 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.
