Shardeum Launches $500,000 and $200,000 Boosts on Immunefi

Shardeum, the EVM-based autoscaling Layer 1 blockchain has launched two Boosts on Immunefi to help secure their codebase.

Shardeum has ambitious plans — aspiring to be a chain capable of onboarding over a billion people to the blockchain. Their platform is open, collaborative, and community-driven — and aims to democratize accessibility to decentralization.

Shardeum is offering two tiers of Boosts on Immunefi: Core and Ancillaries. The Core Boost offers rewards of up to $500,000 for critical vulnerabilities identified in its blockchain/DLT codebase. This code is largely written in TypeScript, and the Boost is ideal for elite whitehats who specialize in large validator and server-like competitions.

In addition to the Core Boost, Shardeum is also launching the Ancillaries Boost, offering rewards of up to $200,000. This competition focuses on a 55,000-line Web2 codebase, opening the door to a broader range of security researchers, including those specializing in traditional web applications. This is the first Boost on Immunefi that is specifically focussed on Web2 code.

Shardeum recognizes the need to invest in security throughout the entire development lifecycle — which is exactly where Immunefi’s Boosts come in.

Boosts are time-bound, crowd-sourced security audits conducted at every development milestone. They involve top-tier blockchain security researchers with a proven record. Boosts help harden code post-audit, at testnet, or even before launching a mainnet bug bounty. They surface critical reports in real-time as the program runs, enabling projects to mitigate vulnerabilities without having to wait for long audits to finish, which effectively maximizes their speed to launch.

Immunefi has the largest, most prolific, and highest quality community of security experts in the industry, and leads the way when it comes to onchain security. Our community is comprised of over 45,000 researchers who have collectively prevented more than $25 billion in potential losses..
