The future of Ethereum security is about more than code—it's about community. To celebrate our $2,000,000 competition with the Ethereum Foundation, we’re also launching the Pectra Learning Quest centered around the Ethereum Pectra Upgrade.
All Hands On Deck
While the $2,000,000 prize pool speaks volumes about Ethereum’s commitment to security, we know it’ll take the strength of our community to tackle this challenge together—so education and community involvement are crucial. That's why we're launching the Pectra Learning Quest alongside it.
Think you can break down complex Pectra concepts into digestible content? Have a knack for creating security-focused tutorials? Or maybe you're the one whose memes make complex concepts click? Your moment has arrived.
Show Us What You’ve Got
We're looking for creators in three key areas:
Educational Content
Help others understand the ETH Pectra upgrade and security best practices. Whether you're breaking down EIPs or creating guides for our AI Code Review Assistant, your expertise can light the way for others.
Creative Expression
Security doesn't have to be dry. From memes that make people think to short videos that make concepts stick—we're looking for content that engages while it educates.
Documentation + Tools
Build the resources that’ll help security researchers work better. Create tutorials, develop checklists, or design flowcharts that make security processes clearer.
The Real Perks
For those who stand out, we're offering more than cash prizes. The grand prize winners (two will be selected) will receive:
- $2,000 in cash (winners will split $1,000 each)
- Choice of premium Cantina swag
But wait, that's not all! Top contributors will earn exclusive Discord roles, community recognition, and the chance to be featured across our platforms.
