Community-driven competitions for smart contract audits |
Code4rena (C4) is a competitive audit and bounty platform where security researchers, referred to as Wardens, review, audit, and analyze codebases for security vulnerabilities in exchange for bounties provided by sponsoring projects.
The players in the arena:
- Wardens protect the DeFi ecosystem from threats by auditing code.
- Sponsors create prize pools to attract wardens to audit their project.
- Judges decide the severity, validity, and quality of findings and rate the performance of wardens.
These docs provide detailed information and guidelines for current and potential community members, and aim to answer the most frequently-asked questions about how Code4rena — and our competitive audits — work.
