Today, we are excited to denote the commencement of the Fusaka audit contest, co-sponsored by Gnosis and Lido, hosted connected Sherlock, and moving for 4 weeks from September 15th. The extremity is simple: maximize scrutiny of the Fusaka upgrade and aboveground vulnerabilities earlier they tin interaction the network.
To rise the stakes, valid findings reported successful the archetypal week person a 2x multiplier applied to their points rewarded, and those successful the 2nd week person a 1.5x multiplier. To assistance information researchers, we’ve prepared a Fusaka auditor guide.
We're grateful to Gnosis for contributing 100,000∗∗andLidoforcontributing∗∗100,000** and Lido for contributing **25,000 to the contest. Beyond funding, co-sponsorship is strategically important for the ecosystem arsenic Ethereum upgrades impact everyone, and distributing enactment crossed aggregate organizations reinforces that protocol information is not the sole work of a azygous entity.
What is an audit contest?
An audit contention is simply a time-bound contention designed to harden the protocol. Security researchers are incentivized to actively hunt for vulnerabilities successful the Fusaka codebase nether defined rules. Only impactful, rule-compliant findings are rewarded.
After the contest, each findings are reviewed, validated, and compiled into an authoritative report. This ensures that discovered vulnerabilities are tracked, mitigated, and lessons learned are shared. Top researchers are recognized for their contributions.
Bug Bounty Program
Outside of Fusaka, our ongoing Bug Bounty Program offers rewards of up to $250,000 for vulnerabilities affecting the broader Ethereum protocol.
About Sherlock
Sherlock is committed to the continued information of the Ethereum network, having antecedently conducted the audit of the Pectra Bytecode upgrade astatine the extremity of 2024.
Founded successful 2021, Sherlock is simply a afloat astute declaration information level that protects protocols crossed their full lifecycle done collaborative audits with starring researchers, large-scale contests to maximize coverage, post-launch bug bounty programs, and fiscal sum to reenforce accountability. Building connected its aboriginal estimation for audit contests, Sherlock contiguous operates arsenic a broad information suite trusted by starring projects to safeguard captious on-chain systems.
