He <a target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="chakra-link css-ug8vf0" href="https://github.com/ethereum/protocol-security”>Protocol Security Research Team and the ethereum Foundation Ecosystem Funding Initiative are pleased to announce the <a target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="chakra-link css-ug8vf0" href="https://immunefi.com/audit-competition/ethereum-protocol-attackathon/”>launch of the first Attackathon of the ethereum protocol with a reward fund of $1,500,000organized by immunophy. The Attackathon will take place between November 25 and January 20 and aims to improve the security of the ethereum protocol through a large-scale collaborative security audit competition.
We invite the entire ethereum community, from auditing firms to individual security researchers, to participate in this important event to help protect the ethereum Protocol.
You can begin your journey towards understanding the ethereum Protocol through live and pre-recorded technical tutorials via the <a target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="chakra-link css-ug8vf0" href="https://immunefi.com/academy/ethereum-protocol-attackathon/”>Academy.
What is an Attackathon?
The Attackathon is a time-bound audit challenge to strengthen the security of the ethereum protocol. It begins with an educational phase where participants receive instruction on the protocol code through live technical walkthroughs and educational content from the Attackathon Academy. This phase ensures that participants are well prepared to identify and understand potential vulnerabilities.
During the Attackathon, security researchers will actively search for vulnerabilities in the protocol code. They will follow specific rules set for the competition, and only impactful and rule-compliant reports will be rewarded. This phase focuses on real-time problem solving and the application of knowledge acquired during the initial phase.
Following the Attackathon, Immunefi will evaluate and compile the findings into an official report. This report will detail the vulnerabilities discovered and highlight top researchers, celebrating their contributions and expertise.
