Code4rena

Web3 security, on demand. $20M+ in rewards paid. 1600+ High Severity vulns found. Zero platform fees.

[Code4rena @code4rena]

Code4rena will run audit contests for free, as public goods.

100% of funds from sponsors will go directly to auditors and judges. We won't take any cut.

Why?

1. Competitions are commodities.
They're CRUD apps. Why should builders pay premium for a website just to submit bugs? Especially smaller teams without VC funding.

2. Everyone deserves competitions.
We tell all our clients to get a competition after their audit. That's because competitions simulate real world conditions, where there's thousands of eyes on a protocol. We want to make competitions as affordable as possible so everyone can get one.

3. It benefits our wardens.
In 2021, we invented the competition format. We're still the platform with the largest auditor pool (10,000+ registered). Not only should builders have access to the best security talent, we believe auditors should have opportunities to work with great projects. Opening up our platform benefits our wardens.

How will you afford this?
Zellic is a profitable business. We make money doing traditional private audits through Zellic and Zenith. This benefits us because: (1) our clients are more secure after they run contests, and (2) Code4rena is a talent pipeline for Zenith.

Will you stop maintaining the platform?
Of course not. Since we acquired Code4rena, we've shipped several features and have several more already underway. C4 has a dedicated dev team that we're fully committed to.

Besides, many of our clients at Zellic use C4. We're incentivized to make sure the platform works well. It's just that now we're allowing everyone to benefit from our investments in Code4rena.

In conclusion:
Run a contest on Code4rena! We won't take a cut, your prizes will go directly to wardens and judges.

[Immunefi @immunefi]

Today, we're announcing that Immunefi is partnering with @code4rena to onboard their bug bounty customers to our platform following Code4rena's decision to wind down operations.

Code4rena played a huge role in shaping crypto security, and they deserve real recognition. As they wind down, our focus is to make sure every protocol continues to receive top-tier security.

We're working hand-in-hand with the Code4rena team to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Protocol teams onboarding to Immunefi will get:

* Access to the largest and most elite whitehat community in crypto
* Professional triage and mediation, battle-tested across $135M in bounties paid
* Dedicated migration support to port over scope, rules, and reward structures

And to every C4 warden: we want you here. You've been the backbone of one of the most respected security communities in crypto, and your work has made this industry materially safer. Come join us in continuing that mission. We're committed to picking up the banner Code4rena raised around improving the whitehat experience.

A sincere thank you to the Code4rena team for trusting us to carry this forward, and for putting their customers' security first throughout this process. The industry is better for what they built.

Onward.

[Code4rena @code4rena]

Thank you to every warden, team, and project for your contributions to securing crypto, and for being part of this ambitious, innovative, hardworking, brilliant community. 🙏
