Can build a better blockchain by paying people to burn one down?
Beniamin Mincu, Transylvanian chief executive and founder of the Elrond Network, is in the midst of a 15-day campaign to do just that. Nearly two years after first revealing his “secure proof-of-stake” sharding protocol in a technical white paper, Mincu and Elrond’s now 24-person developer team will offer up to $60,000 to node-runners who can successfully wreak havoc upon their code.
Mincu’s goal with the so-called “Battle of the Nodes: Unchained” campaign is, of course, to have white hats expose every bug, attack vector, vulnerability and critical breakpoint on Elrond before unsanctioned hackers do so themselves. This testnet trial-by-fire will prove if the network is ready for mainnet launch, he said.
