Proud to achieve first place on the @InverseFinance competition in @sherlockdefi. Pushed super hard on this one and sometimes things just click. Turns out stablecoins is my favorite thing to audit after working on one for 2+ years! Excited for the next steps coming soon š
Here are the results of the @InverseFinance Audit Contest! 1. @0xdmanwalking - $1,833 š„ 2. bughuntoor - $8,312 š„ 3. @ValvesSec - $1,691 š„ $35,500 in rewards, bringing Sherlock's total researcher payouts to $19.6M+. Link below for the full results š

My first top 10 placement came from @cantinaxyz with a 6th place on the @MentoLabs V3 contest on a super solid codebase despite allocating about half the available time on it. Feels good to learn and be rewarded for the work over the past few months. Onwards!

3 months into my auditing journey transitioning from a smart contract dev. 10+ H/M bugs found, a top 20 place, a couple of small private audits, learning with the top in the world, and still there is so much more to learn. 2026 is looking good. Onwards!

Doing a contest when the market is dead is the best way to get the most eyes on your code. Excited for @sherlockdefi to end the contest drought
šØ Picture this: a labyrinth of code, a ticking clock, and 100,000 USDC in rewards dangling just in reach. @flyingtulip_'s contest will launch on Monday, January 5th at 15:00 UTC. Will you unravel the mystery and claim victory, or watch others bask in glory?

You got to learnmaxx anon
Continuous learning is the only defensible moat.

I thought auditing was all about the fast feedback loop but contest results take 3 months to come out nowdays

As crypto matures it is clear that 2 sectors will take off: Payments and uncollateralized lending. I would not sleep on @credifi . Huge congrats on the launch!
Credifi v.1 goes live today! Borrow $100ā$20K for three months at 4% fixed interest rate. No collateral. No fees.

Unpopular opinion: Clearly written Huff is easier to understand than inline assemby. Everyone just nests the opcodes too much in one line man

Thinking of AAVE USD supply rates as risk free and assigining no risk premium is such a bad take and the worst part is that the more people believe it the more yields will converge with T-bills. These must be one of the worst times to farm on chain

Every smart contract has a bug bounty = it's TVL. Hackers and their AI will be trying to find every bug until: 1. They find it 2. You decide to shut down Finding every bug won't work. Defining the hack states is much easier.
New on our Frontier Red Team blog: We tested whether AIs can exploit blockchain smart contracts. In simulated testing, AI agents found $4.6M in exploits. The research (with @MATSprogram and the Anthropic Fellows program) also developed a new benchmark:

Officially applying to learn from the š. Do devs turned aspiring SRs count as beginners?

Browsing through some @summit_defi talks and 7/8 on a random sample have something to do with AI/LLMs. If this is not the definition of a bubble idk what is

The number one risk metric you should be looking at when evaluating true DeFi protocol risk is lines of code

If anything, this teaches us that internal balances massively increase the attack surface and monitoring work required to secure them to the point that we should start questioning if the tradeoff of having them is really worth it.
.@Balancer fell in two quiet moves. The first drained value into the internal ledger. The second turned those hidden credits into real tokens. A split attack path that stayed invisible until it was already over.
