Hello, Jutta writing once more – I initially launched myself after we began the bounty program earlier this yr and I’m completely satisfied to offer you an replace on what’s taking place on the safety facet prior and all through launch.
We now have had some top quality submissions by bounty hunters – kudos for the artistic exploits despatched alongside that the bugs made attainable. The variety of submissions not too long ago rose. Therefore we determined and are saying that we’ll proceed the bounty program a minimum of all through the Frontier section of Ethereum’s launch plan – see Gav’s and Vinay’s respective weblog posts.
Please go to our bounty web site for extra data on the bounty program and ensure try our lead hunter’s repository right here for useful testing scripts earlier than beginning the hunt.
Not solely will we depend on particular person bug hunters and the neighborhood: along with EthDev’s Gustav Simonsson, I had began the method of choosing skilled safety consultants, lecturers and blockchain consultants for our exterior safety audits late final yr. Gustav is now working with auditors and the Ethereum Go dev group to trace all safety points tagged right here and work out fixes for them. We need to maintain good observe of all points and solely shut them as soon as absolutely resolved and options sufficiently examined. Each bug we discover is taken care of and might be mounted earlier than Frontier launch. Be at liberty to comply with us on github if you wish to control the progress.
The primary spherical of labor from safety auditors is ending in a few weeks, and bug fixing is already nicely underway. Working by means of all points will take the time it takes. It’s a security-driven not schedule-driven course of, in spite of everything.
