Exciting news! The Cartesi Honeypot Challenge has now surpassed the 1 million CTSI mark and remains unhacked, demonstrating the strong security and resilience of Cartesi Rollups.
The Honeypot dApp, launched in September 2023, is Cartesi’s first dApp on the Ethereum mainnet. It is intended as a testing ground for developers to explore the security of the Cartesi Rollup infrastructure. The challenge is simple: hack the Honeypot and drain the funds within, no strings attached. Despite multiple attempts, the Honeypot remains secure and the funds continue to grow.
While high-profile hacks have plagued the blockchain space since its inception, contributors to the Cartesi project saw an opportunity to battle-test their rollup solution and challenge developers to find vulnerabilities. The Honeypot Challenge is an important part of Cartesi’s ongoing plan to strengthen its infrastructure and improve security measures.
This initiative not only incentivizes developers and users in the Cartesi community to participate in platform security, but also promotes a culture of collaboration and innovation within the ecosystem.
As more and more ambitious and powerful dApps come to life using Cartesi technology, the project remains steadfast in its mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions while upholding the highest standards of security and reliability.
