- Zenith Audits: Assembles auditors with proven track records to secure projects.
- Vulnerability Reports: Provides detailed reports on identified vulnerabilities, enabling project teams to address security concerns effectively.
- Leaderboard: Ranks wardens based on their performance, fostering a competitive environment and recognizing top talent.
- Active Audits & Bounties: Lists ongoing audits and bounty programs, allowing wardens to participate and earn rewards.
Use Cases:
- Smart Contract Audits: Securing decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain protocols by identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities.
- Web3 Security: Protecting web3 projects from exploits and financial losses.
- Bug Bounty Programs: Incentivizing security researchers to find and report vulnerabilities in a responsible manner.
- Security Consulting: Providing expert security advice and guidance to blockchain projects.
