Announcing Swivel’s C4 Code4rena Security Audit Contest!
Starting Tomorrow, 9/30 Join The Wardens At Code423n4 As They Tear Into Our Contracts!
Swivel is pleased to announce our collaboration with Code_423n4’s Code4rena in an exciting audit and gas efficiency improvement contest with $75,000 in prizes!
The wardens over at C4 will be investigating our smart contracts through a community-driven security audit of our code base. Though not through a bug bounty, nor traditional audit…
The counsel of security guru’s at @code_423n4 will be tearing apart our contracts and $75,000 will be thrown to the dogs. Find a bug or gas optimization and get guaranteed cash!
The contest starts tomorrow September 30th!
The C4 community-driven security review
This contest is different from bug bounties and traditional audits. Bug bounties are spec work, with no way for you know your time invested will produce a payout. Traditional audits have long wait times, and less flexibility.
Our C4 contest has a guaranteed payout, and it’s highly likely that if you sign on as an auditor you can find something to make it worth the time. The code base is new code with plenty of opportunities for auditors to dig in and find areas for improvement.
Incentive model and awards
To incentivize wardens, C4 uses a unique scoring system with three primary goals:
Reward contestants for finding unique bugs
Prevent/resist any Sybil attacks
Encourage contestants to form teams and collaborate
This ensures that the wardens that find the most important vulnerabilities receive the most rewards, but even weekend warriors can get a piece of the pie.
Wardens
Wardens protect the Defi ecosystem by auditing code for security. To join the contest pop into the C4 Discord and give a howl in #i-want-to-be-a-warden and register using this form.
As a reminder, for Wardens participating in code contests, please familiarize yourself with the submission policy and judging criteria prior to participating.
Starting Tomorrow!
Our contest starts tomorrow with a pot size of $tk and an end date of tk
The contest starts Thursday September 30th at 0:00 UTC and runs until the following Wednesday October 6th at 23:59 UTC.
