Is it still worth it to learn web3 security now? Are the bounty rewards still good? My thoughts around whether it is still worth participating in audit contests on code4rena, and my future plans.
I think the reason why that high vuln payout was so low was because it was a low hanging fruit finding, almost 30 ppl found it and it was a very simple mistake to spot, which is why the rewards were so diluted. Some recent high vuln findings, if unique, were paying >5k for some contests, so there's still a chance to make some good amount
the rewards are huge precisely because there is no competition (talent is scarce), when the talent is not scarce there is commoditization = even highs are worth $50/$500 (it's not different than thousands of indians available to make you an website).
Hi Andy, I am 19 just starting into web3. I am no previous experience in coding I am noob in coding, should I learn java script first or solidity ? In the article you mentioned in the road map of web3 security. its tolded to learn java first.
yea I feel this too but I will definitely continue participating in code4rena because Im there to learn, not the money :) Thanks for the great content!
Depends on if you are doing this full time and how much you are currently earning in web2 bounties. It is still possible to make $500-$1000 per month doing this part time, and of course the long term upside is huge
