The Solana (SOL) blockchain’s new validator client is set to launch a new $1 million bug bounty program this week.
Firedancer aims to improve the transaction processing speed, scalability, and efficiency of blockchains and is expected to be released sometime next year.
A new bug bounty for the Solana verification client will award up to $1 million in USDC stablecoin to anyone who finds a bug in Firedancer v0.1. The program, run in conjunction with bug bounty platform Immunefi, began on Wednesday and will run until August 21.
A Firedancer engineer known by the pseudonym CantelopePeel also recently shared an update about the project on social media platform X.
“- We are currently developing and actively testing the first versions of the Solana consensus and fork selection algorithm.
– We’re also working on live voting and a bunch of little things around that.
– Tested with millions of running slots and aligned with Solana protocol.
– Differential fuzz testing is performed across the entire runtime, from the SBPF ELF loader to native program execution.”
SOL is trading at $138.02 at the time of writing. The fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is down more than 8% over the past week.
