A personal milestone: my first competitive audit not with a team, but by myself. Not bad, but deftly a space to grow. A personal goal: first place in a contest by end of year. A note to self: don't over-complicate PoCs. Thanks optimism.eth and Code4rena!

Unexpectedly got 5th in a contest from only 2 days participation with 3 findings.. But learnt a great lesson from the project dev on reentrancy (more on that later). Also great (and last) Sherlock's escalation discussions with the community and Wang Security. Go SHERLOCK!!!

What a day: C4 results arrived almost simultaneously with Sherlock's; this time I am 3rd! 😎A really great work from MrPotatoMagic in this contest👏 Thanks Code4rena and the sponsor, Phi! (a personal note: my future 1st place, I am coming x.com/kuprumxyz/stat…)

I keep forgetting that Code4rena is Zellic now... I should remember that more firmly -- it has far-reaching consequences...

A great retrospective into the address collision finding from MakerDAO contest at Sherlock github.com/sherlock-audit…; I've also dived a bit into this topic. Good self-analysis on how to "learn to learn", as well as on the escalation process. I am sure Sev will achieve a lot 🚀

Extremely proud to share that I came 1st in Sherlock's Flayer audit contest! It was tough: lots of great researchers, lots of findings; only my solo High helped to achieve that ranking. Congrats to all fellow SRs who participated! My next personal goal: Senior Watson at Sherlock.

What can be better than after you win a contest to receive from the LSW the comment in dm "congrats, deserved win!" Thanks zzykxx, it is a pleasure to compete, discuss, and chat with you on SHERLOCK

I am 2nd at predict.fun lending market audit contest by SHERLOCK with a solo Medium🎉 Congrats to PUSH0 who nailed the other solo Med🔥 I almost got this one as well, but failed to dig the last mile to the true impact. Next time will dig deeper; lesson learned😁

Have you wondered how SHERLOCK leaderboard points are calculated? So did I... I thought I understand; then I realized I don't. So I've created this Sherlock points calculator: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Feel free to copy, and use it to track your Sherlock performance; enjoy!

Got a pretty good start at Cantina: 2 findings submitted, 2 accepted. 1 unique: this becomes a good tradition:) Congrats to everyone; Haxatron is a beast with his unique High! Thank you Cantina 🪐 and Omni Network; happy to help making Web3 a secure place.

Just completed two collaborative audits with Sherlock - audits.sherlock.xyz/watson/kuprum: - IBC V2 implementation (codename IBC Eureka) - Lombard Finance LBTC solutions integration with IBC V2 I have thoroughly enjoyed working on these two engagements with SHERLOCK (the leading

Here is the proof of the unique power of public audit contests: github.com/Layr-Labs/eige…. Context: - the fix PR for a High sev bug found by multiple SRs in EigenLayer's comp on Cantina 🪐; - the bug was missed by fuzzing, audits, and formal verification. Scroll for details.

IBC Eureka is live — enabling fast, secure Ethereum ↔ Cosmos bridging. IBC Eureka offers fast, affordable, 1-click transactions between Ethereum and Cosmos chains. It's also the canonical usage of the v2 of @ibcprotocol. Key product info🧵

A well-seasoned view on the real value of model checking as complementary to testing/fuzzing. I love this: > By all means, write tests. Please, do. Write many.

Proud to join top industry professionals; and thank you SHERLOCK -- earning the purple crown from you is a great honor.
