We’re excited to announce the launch of the Firedancer v0.1 Boost on Immunefi. Firedancer v0.1, a new validator client for Solana, is opening the gates to security researchers to find and submit vulnerabilities in its extensive codebase.

The contest offers rewards of up to $1,000,000 for finding critical vulnerabilities in the codebase, which is approximately 200,000 lines of nSLOC.

We will be hosting a live technical walkthrough with the Firedancer v0.1 team. This walkthrough will provide valuable insights into the Firedancer v0.1 codebase, helping to make your hunt successful.
