We’ve got some thrilling news for all the hackers, strategists, and cybersecurity enthusiasts out there!

Today, in collaboration with the Euler Foundation, we’re launching one of the BIGGEST Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions in the world with a ~$3,500,000 bounty.

Introducing the Euler CTF Challenge

As the final step in Euler’s security validation (after 29 audits and a code competition), they are now confronting the ultimate boss in DeFi security with this ~$3.5M CTF challenge. Auditors and researchers that enter the competition are invited to rigorously examine the contracts, attempt to extract funds, and test Euler’s active defenses, all within a narrow window of less than two weeks.

CTF Details

  • Start date: Wednesday, August 21st, noon ET
  • End date: Monday, September 2nd, noon ET

Goal: Try to exploit the USDC/ETH and WETH/USDC pools within Euler’s live contracts.

Join the ~$3.5M Euler CTF Challenge!

1. Go to the Euler CTF Challenge on Hats dApp and connect your wallet.

The wallet address used to sign up must be the same one used throughout the challenge.

2. Read carefully and sign the Terms and Conditions.

Participants must follow all applicable laws and regulations during the challenge, including any sanctions or export controls, to be able to claim rewards.

  • This CTF requires KYC for legal participation. Any funds drained from the contracts will be considered legal only if the individual in control of the funds starts a KYC process within 48 hours of acquiring them.
  • After completing KYC to Euler and Hats, the individual must send 5% of the drained funds to the Hats Governance address within 30 days of receiving the Reward.
  • The Euler Foundation or an authorized third party will issue a KYC declaration upon completing the process. This document can be used to report the amount to local tax authorities.

Only specific smart contracts are within scope, and certain bugs, like third-party pricing discrepancies, are explicitly out of scope. You’ll be able to check all scope details when signing the Terms and Conditions.
