Solana’s (SOL) Firedancer Set To Launch $1,000,000 Bug Bounty Program This Week

A new validator client for the Solana (SOL) blockchain is about to launch a new $1 million bug bounty program this week.

Firedancer aims to improve the blockchain’s transaction processing speed, scalability and efficiency and is slated to launch sometime next year.

The Solana validator client’s new bug bounty will award up to $1 million worth of the stablecoin USDC to anyone who can unearth bugs on Firedancer v0.1. The program, which will be run with the bug bounty platform Immunefi, is scheduled to start on Wednesday and run until August 21st.

The pseudonymous Firedancer engineer known as CantelopePeel also recently shared an update on the project on the social media platform X.

“- We are currently working on and actively testing our first versions of the Solana consensus and fork choice algorithms.

– We are also working on live voting and various other little bits around that.

– Millions of slots of execution have been tested and match the Solana protocol.

– Differential fuzz testing is happening all across the runtime, from the SBPF ELF loader to the native program execution.”

SOL is trading at $138.02 at time of writing. The fifth-ranked crypto asset by market cap is down more than 8% in the past week.
