 <li>$200K Attackathon invites global researchers to test XRPL Lending Protocol for vulnerabilities.<br></li>
 <li>Program runs Oct 27–Nov 29 with 35K+ lines of C++ code open for review and rewards.<br></li>

</ul>
<p>Ripple and Immunefi have launched a $200,000 Attackathon to secure the proposed <a href="https://coincu.com/news/xrpl-evm-sidechain-launches-on-mainnet/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRPL Lending Protocol</a> ahead of its mainnet deployment. The program combines adversarial testing and developer education to identify critical vulnerabilities before launch.</p>
<p>The Attackathon runs from October 27 to November 29, following an education phase that started on October 13 via the XRPL Attackathon Academy. Researchers will review over 35,000 lines of C++ code and compete for rewards paid in RLUSD.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://coincu.com/uncategorized/xrpl-the-platform-of-choice-for-cbdcs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRPL</a> Lending Protocol supports uncollateralized lending with off-chain credit assessments and on-chain fund management via new standards like XLS-66. The system excludes smart contracts and wrapped assets, instead relying on native XRPL features and institutional-grade design.</p>

<p>Rewards will be unlocked if at least one valid bug is submitted, with a fallback pool of $30,000 available for valid insights. Flat payouts apply, and top contributors can receive additional bonuses through Immunefi’s All Star and Podium programs.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-institutional-defi-expansion-and-transparent-risk-mitigation-lead-initiative-strong"><strong>Institutional DeFi Expansion and Transparent Risk Mitigation Lead Initiative</strong></h2>
<p>Ripple positions the protocol as a core piece of its institutional DeFi strategy, focused on regulated lending infrastructure and transparent risk management. The protocol will undergo a validator vote by year-end to determine its full launch.</p>
<p>Immunefi brings proven security expertise to the collaboration, with over $180 billion in user funds protected and $25 billion in exploits prevented. Its global community of more than 60,000 researchers is expected to ensure a thorough review.</p>
<p>According to Immunefi, priority targets include liquidation logic, interest accrual, and vault interactions that directly impact solvency. Only bugs submitted with proof-of-concepts in in-scope code will be eligible for rewards.</p>
<p><a href="https://coincu.com/news/ripple-unveils-ripple-payments/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RippleX</a> confirmed that the academy will remain live after the competition, providing continued access to XRPL resources. The Attackathon reflects Ripple’s proactive approach to securing XRPL's lending capabilities before public rollout.</p>
