Built by Jump Crypto, the much-awaited and highly expected ‘Firedancer‘ independent validator client for the Solana blockchain will shortly start its first bug bounty program.
Announced by pseudonymous creator Cantelope Peel, the initiative runs for six weeks, starting on July 10. Driven by Immunefi, the program will provide a maximum of $1 million to engineers discovering major flaws in the first version of the client, Firedancer v0.1, sometimes known as “Frankendancer.”
Cantelope Peel, who posted on X that “millions of slots of execution have been tested and match the Solana protocol,” reports that work on Firedancer seems to be moving very nicely.
The Firedancer client is aimed at increasing Solana’s resilience since any faults with the present client count could cause major blockchain troubles. Additionally implemented in C/C++ is Firedancer, which maximizes the client for the high-frequency trading Jump is known for.
“Given Solana’s success, our participation in the ecosystem over a couple years, and the very specific technical challenges that they wanted to solve as pertains to optimizing their network and runtime, (Firedancer) felt like a really great opportunity for us to come in and contribute,” Jump Crypto president Kanav Kariya said.
