The Protocol Safety Analysis Staff 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 all the Ethereum group — 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 by way of reside and pre-recorded technical walkthroughs by the Academy.
The Attackathon is co-sponsored by:

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 by way of reside technical walkthroughs and academic content material from the Attackathon Academy. This part ensures that contributors are well-prepared to establish and perceive potential vulnerabilities.
Through 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 studies can be rewarded. This part focuses on real-time problem-solving and making use of the data 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.
