Ripple is partnering with Immunefi to host a $200,000 "attackathon" to find bugs in the XRP Ledger lending protocol.
Ripple is offering up to $200,000 to users who find security flaws in the proposed XRP Ledger lending protocol, incentivizing white hat hackers to “attack” the upcoming platform.
"The XRPL community is preparing for one of its most significant upgrades yet with the proposed lending protocol, which is expected to go to validator vote later this year. Before any major amendment like this moves forward, it’s critical to ensure the code is as secure and resilient as possible,"
said RippleX Head of Product Jasmine Cooper.
The rewards are part of an “attackathon” hosted by Ripple and blockchain security firm Immunefi that asks security researchers to find potential flaws, with a focus on bugs that impact fund security and vault solvency.
