The Protocol Safety Analysis Workforce 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 corporations to particular person safety researchers — to take part on this vital occasion to assist safe the Ethereum Protocol.
You will get began in your journey into understanding the Ethereum Protocol by way of dwell and pre-recorded technical walkthroughs by means of 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 section the place individuals obtain instruction on the protocol’s code by way of dwell technical walkthroughs and academic content material from the Attackathon Academy. This section ensures that individuals 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’ll observe particular guidelines set for the competitors, and solely impactful and rule-compliant experiences shall be rewarded. This section focuses on real-time problem-solving and making use of the information gained throughout 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.
