馃攳 602 Hackers Found Nothing
The @cantinaxyz security contest for Euler v2 has concluded with 602 researchers participating. While no high or medium security issues were found, $200k was awarded to researchers who identified low-severity issues.
@CertoraInc's formal verification successfully detected all 27 mutants across 8 contracts.
Key highlights:
- 602 security researchers participated
- No high/medium security issues found
- $200k awarded for low-severity findings
- 27/27 mutants detected in formal verification
Cantina's team received praise for organizing the contest and providing an effective security enhancement platform.
Thanks to @slowfinanc3 for reviewing our proof system by way of @cantinaxyz! The report is in the thread!
A high-signal review: @0xFacet 脳 Cantina This engagement focused on Facet鈥檚 zk-fault-proof rollup protocol, including proposal resolution and proof-based validation. A tightly scoped system with immutable guarantees. Report below.
Facet Launches Native Gas Token Mining Through ETH Burns
