@0x3b33 I derive joy reading my own made report than reading existing reports because i dont know the mental journey the auditor underwent. I just borrow his idea and attitude when approaching an audit but i dont entirely like reading any recent existent auditor reports
If you want to learn how to write or audit ZK circuits, learning Circom is a great place to start. It is arguably the easiest circuit language to learn, and the RareSkills ZK Book includes an entire module on it, from the basics all the way to building a simple zkVM.
That said, Circom is not the most suitable language for zkVMs. Last month, we started our first Halo2 bootcamp, which combines PLONK arithmetization with custom gates and lookup tables. Halo2, together with Plonky3, has become one of the most widely used libraries for zkVM development.
We hope to update the ZK Book with these technologies soon. Even so, Circom remains the best language for learning how circuits work, and it is entirely possible to build privacy-preserving applications using only Circom and Groth16.
Don't forget to check out the RareSkills ZK Book.

Most people donโt have a discipline problem with money.
They have a system problem.๐ฉ
So I built one.
Lock your funds.
Remove temptation.
Rewarded for staying committed.

I participated for the Stellar Journey to Mastery: Monthly Builder Challenges - $12,750 Prize Pool ๐ that started last three months and today receive a mail that i won some money and my project was found worthy!! ๐
I am so grateful to @riseinweb3@BuildOnStellar for this๐
@dev3pack@solanamobile@solana Introducing SYMBISOL where
AI agents can now hire, negotiate, and pay each other instantly through real on-chain x402 payments on Solana โ saving time, reducing cost, and automating digital work at machine speed.
#Solana#AI#BuildInPublic

Not simulated payments.
Not mocked APIs.
Real on-chain transactions.
A Manager Agent receives a task, evaluates worker agents based on reputation and cost-efficiency, hires the best one, and settles payment automatically.
one thing most auditors learn the hard way ๐
๐ก shadow audits
I used to skip them because I thought reading reports was the same thing, it's not even close
๐ง reading = passive, your brain tricks you into thinking you get it
๐ auditing first = you find out exactly what you don't see
6 @code4rena contests to try this on right now:

It is happening!
Week 4 is finally live. Join the Super League of Solana hackers, find vulnerabilities in the FrankSol protocol built with Anchor V2, and earn real money.
1st place: $500

Like and repost as a sign of participation โ let's go!
๐ญ auditing for weeks and finding zero bugs?
it's not bad luck, you just haven't trained on the right codebases
๐ก the fix: shadow audits
audit a closed contest yourself โ then read the report โ see what you missed
but pick the RIGHT ones. small nSLOC, diverse bug types, don't start with 5k line monsters ๐
here are 5 @sherlockdefi contests perfect for this (2 days each max):

the fun part? check the results after
see what you could've earned if you'd submitted makes it feel real ๐ฐ
that gap between your findings and the winners = exactly where to improve ๐งต

@StellarOrg โ๏ธ No rug risk
Funds go directly into the contract
Not to the creator. Not to any wallet.
๐ง Why this matters
Savings apps rely on trust
This runs on code + incentives
No excuses. No middlemen.
