EaseDefi is a protocol focused on safe insurance alternatives for DeFi protocols via multiple improvements of ours and for Nexus Mutual. stNXM is an evolution of our arNXM product which acts as a Liquid Staking Token for Nexus Mutual’s underwriting

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a non-profit that supports the Ethereum ecosystem. We are part of a larger community of organizations and individuals that fund protocol development, grow the ecosystem, and advocate for Ethereum.

The Centrifuge Protocol is an open, decentralized protocol for onchain asset management. Built on immutable smart contracts, it enables permissionless deployment of customizable tokenization products. Build a wide range of use cases, from permissioned funds to onchain loans, while enabling fast, secure deployment. ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 vaults allow seamless integration into DeFi. Using protocol-level chain abstraction, tokenization issuers access liquidity across any network, all managed from one Hub chain of their choice. The contest focuses on the v3.1 release, which adds onchain accounting, an improved multi-chain messaging system, a refactored core module that increases modularity, and more.

Rezerve Money (RZR) is a decentralized treasury accumulation protocol with one mission: accumulate 1 million ETH—powered entirely by community and DeFi.

Inverse Finance is the DAO that develops and manages the FiRM fixed-rate lending protocol, and DOLA, its debt-backed, decentralized stablecoin. This contest audits the Junior Tranche insurance mechanism where depositors earn yield while serving as a buffer against bad debt, with particular focus on ERC-4626 accounting under slashing events, withdrawal escrow mechanics, and automated debt repayment logic.

Saffron Fixed Income Vaults is a fixed income protocol that enables yield exchange through vaults where fixed-side participants deposit assets into a productive instrument (like Uniswap V3 LP positions) to receive upfront fixed payments, while variable-side participants pay those fixed amounts to earn all future yield generated over the vault's duration.

Privacy Cash is a compliant privacy pool on Solana. The contest is on auditing the ZK circuit, Solana programs and key crypto/encryption primitives used in the product, to ensure the protocol logic is sound.

Endgame is a fundamental transformation of MakerDAO that improves growth, resilience and accessibility, with the aim of scaling the Dai supply to 100 billion and beyond.

Anyone can say it, only Optimism can back it up. Bedrock is the culmination of countless hours of research and development with the goal of building the best rollup architecture yet.

The first open source, permissionless, feature-complete fault proof system in the Ethereum ecosystem.
