GoZ Updates #4: Phase 3 and The Saga of Deception Attacks
We bring to you the fourth article from the “GoZ Updates” series by Persistence. In our previous articles, we talked about Phases 1 and 2 of Game of Zones.
With this Document, we hope to shed some light on the events and updates of Phase 3 of Cosmos’ Game of Zones.
GoZ Phase 3 Challenge
The main objective of Phase 3 was the penetration testing for the IBC protocol.
Teams were required to attempt and execute confusion or deception attacks against other zones.
Expectations from Phase 3:
