Rewards

A $1 million (AUD 1.48 million) bug bounty has been announced for Solana’s latest independent validator. Hosted by Immunefi, a leading name in Web3 security, this program aims to fortify the blockchain’s defenses against exploits.&nbsp; 
Starting July 10 and ending on August 21, participants can compete in the “Boost” event to identify and report bugs, climbing the leaderboard for a larger share of the prize pool. 
With this event, Firedancer is making significant progress. The team is actively testing the initial versions of Solana’s consensus and fork choice algorithms. Live voting mechanisms and other essential components are under development. Millions of slots of execution have been rigorously tested to ensure they align with the Solana protocol.&nbsp;

Moreover, comprehensive differential fuzz testing is underway, spanning from the SBPF ELF loader to native program execution. The first version of Firedancer (v0.1, dubbed Frankendancer) will debut in its bug bounty program on July 10th, with more updates forthcoming. 
The reward will be given in USDC tokens with compulsory KYC. Bugs found on <a href="https://immunefi.com/boost/firedancer-boost/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Firedancer v0.1</a> will be investigated and responded to within 24 hours on weekdays. Immunefi will also publish an event-specific leaderboard and bug reports shortly after the bounty program ends. 
Bug bounties like this are crucial for maintaining a secure and enjoyable Web3 environment. The blockchain ecosystem has suffered significant financial losses due to code-related exploits, including Oracle price manipulations and backdoor entries. Immunefi, a pioneer in the bug bounty arena, reports that since 2011, over $19 billion (AUD 28.16 billion) has been lost to hacks and exploits. 
By offering substantial rewards for uncovering and fixing vulnerabilities, companies like Immunefi motivate hackers to contribute positively, enhancing network security instead of exploiting it. This initiative not only protects financial assets but also builds trust within the community, promoting a safer and more resilient blockchain future.
