Los desarrolladores de Ethereum están ofreciendo una millonaria recompensa para garantizar la seguridad de la red antes de la próxima actualización.

The Ethereum Foundation announced on Tuesday, through an official blog post, an exciting Security Audit Contest with a prize of up to USD $ 2 million to ensure that your next update, baptized as “FUSAKA“, Be as sure as possible before its launch in the main network, planned by the end of 2025.

A security contest with a millionaire prize

The contest, which began on September 15 and will run until October 13, is organized by the security platform Sherlock And it has the support of Gnosiswhich contributed USD $ 100,000, and Lidowith a support of USD $ 25,000.

Its objective is simple: invite security experts to examine the code of FUSAKA in order to notice possible errors or vulnerabilities before they affect the network. Autopsies on valid findings will be compiled in an official report.

To motivate the participants, the failures reported in the First week They will receive a 2x multiplier at the points granted, and those of the Second week a 1.5x multiplier.

In addition, the Ethereum Foundation has also provided a guide for auditors to facilitate the process. Once the contest is finished, all the findings will be reviewed and compiled in an official report, and the best researchers will be recognized.

Ensuring the next update: Fusaka

FUSAKA It is the next great network update Ethereumwhich includes about a dozen technical improvements (known as EIP) that seek to strengthen security, increase network capacity and make transactions more efficient.

One of the main characteristics of FUSAKA is the “Peer Data Availability Sampling “which distributes data verification among the nodes of the Network to improve support to solutions such as ROLLUPSthat help process more transactions economically.

This optimization will come after the deployment of Pectra In May, the last update of Ethereum which introduced important improvements to the network, such as facilitating Staking (participation in the network to validate transactions) for institutions, make the most accessible wallets and increase the efficiency of network transactions. FUSAKA This work continues, focusing on safety and capacity.

Ethereum It is a network Blockchain which allows to create decentralized applications, such as intelligent contracts and decentralized finance platforms (DEFI). Updates such as FUSAKA They are crucial to keep the network safe and efficient, but any error in the code could have great consequences. Therefore, this contest seeks to maximize security before launch.

A collaborative effort to protect Ethereum

The contest stands out for its collaborative approach, with the support of Gnosis and Lido. Sherlockthe platform organized by the initiative is an intelligent contract security expert since its foundation in 2021. Previously, it helped audit the update Pectra in 2024 and is known for its audit competitions and rewards programs that protect critical systems in the Blockchain.

With this contest, Ethereum demonstrates your commitment to security, ensuring that FUSAKA Be ready for its launch this 2025. It is a great opportunity for security experts to leave their brand and help protect the future of Ethereum!

Outside the contest, the current “Bug Bounty” program of the Ethereum Foundation continues to pay up to USD $ 250,000 for finding broader protocol problems, showing its continuous commitment to security.
