And yet this entire week, I have spent doing exactly that 👍 Hopefully all the Substreams knowledge I gained will be worth.

Feeling refreshed after catching up on sleep - back to Solidity & Rust auditing. Waiting for the next one in ink!/Anchor while diving into a Solidity. Btw not many Polkadot projects lately, right? 🤔 Also, if anyone's interested in custom Substreams feel free to HMU.

This week's grind is taking a hit... Two days in a row of "oversleeping" (if 8 hours counts as oversleeping). Plan updated: During the Cyfrin updraft course, I'll focus on reading key books and concepts (as recommended). Any ideas where to start apart from Mastering Eth. ?

It’s so strange! Even with EIP‑712’s structured signing (released in 2017), wallet vulnerabilities persist. DApps can inject fake info into signature prompts: coinspect.com/blog/wallet-ei… Clearly, there’s still a lot of work to do to secure the crypto world.

Have you heard about the recent Bybit hack? Maybe companies should invest in monthly security training & regular checks (+ thorough audits 😁) But let’s be real - these trainings should be engaging (like this thread), not like the usual boring ones we’ve all had to sit through!

I just fell in love with the process (hopefully will see the results soon though) Btw, I feel like I have skipped important steps by jumping directly into a Rust audit without fully completing the “Fundamental” Cyfrin Updraft 🟩 course. I am now fixing that 🫡

Haven’t made six digits from web3 last year (even 5) but actually it was the very start of my web3 journey, so ~2k dollars in development work would say it’s fine. This month will be the start of the second year, so let’s see how it goes 😏 github.com/Emskiq - the path

I should remind myself more often: consistency matters. Even if you haven’t put in 6 solid hours of focused work, it doesn’t mean you haven’t progressed at all. Every bit of effort counts. Everyone probably felt a little loss in the start, the key is to just keep going

This guy is responsible for me starting: - firstly looking for a new job 1.5 year ago - secondly getting into the side hussle part of the game (with audits/freelance) I am still at the second step - getting the results. Let’s see how it goes 🫡 Ps: many thanks pashov!

I've structured my Rust auditing journey into a dedicated repository, focusing on auditing guidelines for Rust-based blockchains. The Solana section is now available, and I will continually add new audit reports and resources. github.com/Emskiq/rust-au…

Last posted about 5 days ago, but I’m still at it! Interviews slowed me down a bit, yet I finished the dev part of the Cyfrin Updraft 🟩 course and built a Crowdfunding project on the side: github.com/Emskiq/solidit… Next: hackenproof.com/audit-programs…

Well, I think I've found something! It's only an initial suspicion at this point... let's see if my first critical vulnerability really is valid.

Well my suspicion was indeed incorrect 🙃... I guess the grind continues.. 🫡

Well… I decided to dig deeper into the same project where my critical report was invalidated (which was perfectly fine but also sad...) Let’s see what kind of headache these new issues will bring me

Yet another Rust audit is on the horizon! I’m jumping in last minute after a deep dive into the Sociogram audit and trying to resolve escalations. Interesting how most audited Solana programs are bonding curves (basically meme-coin platforms) What an ape community we are 😃

And I got my first valid high issue! Still I think it is a critical one, so let’s see. First of many ✌️
