@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 don’t have a discipline problem with money.

They have a system problem.🚩

So I built one.

Lock your funds.
Remove temptation.
Rewarded for staying committed.

[Chidubem Kingsley @KingsleyCaesar1]

I participated for the Stellar Journey to Mastery: Monthly Builder Challenges - $12,750 Prize Pool 🎉 that started last three months and today receive a mail that i won some money and my project was found worthy!! 😊

I am so grateful to @riseinweb3 @BuildOnStellar for this😘

@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 — saving time, reducing cost, and automating digital work at machine speed.

#Solana #AI #BuildInPublic

https://t.co/IGUOFbKczH

[Chidubem Kingsley @KingsleyCaesar1]

Sometimes those workers recursively hire sub-agents of their own.

Research Agent → Summarizer → Sentiment Analyst.

[Chidubem Kingsley @KingsleyCaesar1]

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 🔐

💡 shadow audits

I used to skip them because I thought reading reports was the same thing, it's not even close

🧠 reading = passive, your brain tricks you into thinking you get it
🔍 auditing first = you find out exactly what you don't see

6 @code4rena contests to try this on right now:

🔹 Sturdy — https://t.co/1aShjqHwtN
🔹 Wenwin — https://t.co/kMml84FgT2
🔹 veRWA — https://t.co/7CewAvaYbi
🔹 Lambo — https://t.co/6mtEdSNAyN
🔹 Canto Identity — https://t.co/bjR9ZbLVdH
🔹 Canto Liquidity — https://t.co/iw0L18tmZ1

reports teach findings, shadow audits teach thinking ⚔️

[0xFrankCastle🦀 @0xcastle_chain]

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
2nd place: $300
3rd place: $200

Like and repost as a sign of participation — let's go!

[0xApple @0xapple_]

😭 auditing for weeks and finding zero bugs?
it's not bad luck, you just haven't trained on the right codebases

💡 the fix: shadow audits

audit a closed contest yourself → then read the report → see what you missed

but pick the RIGHT ones. small nSLOC, diverse bug types, don't start with 5k line monsters 💀

here are 5 @sherlockdefi contests perfect for this (2 days each max):

🔹 Surge — https://t.co/MRYPjj25bB
🔹 Telcoin — https://t.co/R8pAc5ns02
🔹 Olympus — https://t.co/sA5BDqZZos
🔹 Cooler — https://t.co/8ZaXmPx7rV
🔹 Crestal — https://t.co/ttLh8uuJp3

the fun part? check the results after

see what you could've earned if you'd submitted makes it feel real 💰

that gap between your findings and the winners = exactly where to improve 🧵

@StellarOrg I need early users + brutal feedback.

If you’re serious about:
• saving
• group accountability
• or building discipline on-chain
This is for you.
Reply “VAULT” and I’ll personally guide you through your first setup.

THANKS 👍

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