What is Code4rena?

Code4rena is a competitive audit platform that finds more high-severity vulnerabilities, more quickly than any other auditing method by crowdsourcing leading security experts.


Why is Code4rena better than traditional audits?

At Code4rena, we live by the motto โ€œthe more eyes on the code, the more bugs foundโ€. By harnessing the power of the Code4rena community, projects have access to unmatched value when considering engineer hours of code review.

What is Code4rena?

Traditionally, smart contract audits are run in a long, closed-off process by 1-2 auditors. During periods of high demand, this means projects often have to wait months until they can get an audit slot. In 2021, Code4rena introduced an alternative with the competitive audit, bringing in 100s of auditors (wardens) to review a given projectโ€™s code.

Through our incentive model, C4 enables projects to find more bugs faster than any other method. We use a unique scoring and prize pool system to reward participants for finding unique bugs. Our model draws in top solo auditors, teams, and firms alike to compete in C4 competitions, ensuring thorough and on-demand reviews of project code. Anyone can spin up a custom-length public or private audit competition in less than 48 hours, providing the capacity of 30+ engineer-weeks in a given one-week audit competition.

Competition Types

<aside> ๐Ÿ† Open

This is the standard competitive audit format on Code4rena where everyone is invited to participate and all information is open and public.

</aside>

<aside> ๐Ÿ† Versus

Sponsors get the opportunity to work with top Wardens from the Code4rena community in a format that best suits their needs. When a Versus competition is announced, a limited number of the highest-ranking Wardens who RSVP within a 48-hour window can participate in the audit.

</aside>

<aside> ๐Ÿ“– Mitigation review

Once new code is ready for review after a Code4rena competition, the highest-performing Wardens who found the initial vulnerabilities are invited to participate in a Mitigation review. Insertions, deletions and changes are considered in scope, with these Wardens doing another pass to confirm these amendments and suitable and/or find any newly introduced vulnerabilities.

Customer Experience

<aside> ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Customer experience

With the C4 contest, itโ€™s almost like an order of magnitude improvement over the other ways of doing audits. The number of bugs that were found and the degree to which I was convinced that other people had looked deeply into this code and found everything that could be found, was much higher due to the level of engagement from Wardens, the variety of things that were reported, and the incentive mechanism in the first place.
