Hello, I’m Jutta! As some of you may have noticed in previous posts, I’ve recently been occupied with establishing a security evaluation ahead of the Ethereum genesis block launch. Ethereum will initiate following an exceptional assessment from specialists in IT security, cryptography, and blockchain technology. Before the launch, we will also finalize a bug bounty initiative – a significant element of our strategy for ensuring security.
The bug bounty initiative will depend on the Ethereum community and all other enthusiastic bug bounty seekers out there. We will soon unveil the complete details of the program, which is currently being developed by Gustav. Here’s an initial preview:
- Total Satoshi rewards reaching 11 digits.
- Leaderboard showcasing leading contributors based on total hunting score.
- Additional elite ideas for rewards will be revealed shortly… just pondering if a contract within our genesis block could serve as the ideal spot to immortalize the hall of fame (:
Prepare for identifying vulnerabilities in the protocols, Go implementation, and network code. For those seeking a diversion during the holidays, please be aware that the protocols and codebase are still subject to modifications. Kindly note that rewards will only be granted for submissions that are received post the official launch of the bounty program. Comprehensive submission guidelines, regulations, and other pertinent information regarding the precise scope will be announced soon on http://ethdev.com.
