Code4rena is launching its largest audit competition ever with a $500,000 unconditional prize pool for Monad.​

Key details:

  • 28-day competition duration
  • Unconditional prize distribution to participating wardens

This follows Code4rena's recent $203,500 Solana Foundation audit for Token-2022 Confidential Transfer Extension, showing growing institutional adoption of competitive auditing.​

The competition format allows multiple security researchers to simultaneously review Monad's smart contracts, potentially identifying more vulnerabilities than traditional single-firm audits.​
