Hello there! π
Iβm Santipu, a Blockchain Security Researcher who mainly works on contest platforms such as Sherlock, Code4rena, and Cantina. Iβve had the chance to place on the podium multiple times in audit contests, including a few first-place finishes, and Iβve collaborated with leading audit firms like Pashov Audit Group and Bailsec.
Feel free to reach out to me on X (formerly Twitter) at @santipu_.
Audit contests are the fastest way to improve my auditing skills because I compete against hundreds of security researchers worldwide. This allows me to learn from the best ones and earn some experience, at the same time that I get rewarded. π«‘
