A look at Code4rena audits: Open
Traditional audits take too much time and are limited in terms of talent and depth. Bug bounties don’t keep bugs out of production. That’s where Code4rena comes in: a high-performance competitive audit platform that rewards keeping rare, high-risk bugs out of production. Don’t just take our word for it either: OpenSea, ENS, Sushi, and PoolTogether are just a few of the projects that have run audits with C4. So, how do Code4rena audit competitions work?

A look at Code4rena audits: Mitigation Reviews
Open audit competitions are the best way to keep high-severity bugs out of production. Because mitigating one bug can sometimes introduce another, Code4rena offers Mitigation Review competitions. Once new code is ready for review, the highest-performing Wardens who found the initial vulnerabilities are best placed to assess any refactoring. So how do Mitigation Reviews work? The ability to accurately understand a codebase’s context is one of the most important factors contributing to a securi...

A look at Code4rena audits: Versus
Code4rena is famous for running public audit competitions that incentivize the largest amount of auditors to compete in finding the rarest bugs. Sometimes though, projects are looking to run a small and focused audit with just a few wardens to fit within budget constraints that might otherwise rule out a competitive audit. The solution: Versus competitions. So how do Versus audits work? With the introduction of Versus competitions, we’re giving Sponsors the opportunity to work with top Warden...
