Overview

• The four-week bug hunt runs Sept. 15–Oct. 13 on Sherlock, offering 2x rewards in week one and 1.5x in week two to encourage early reports.
• Gnosis and Lido are co-sponsoring the effort with contributions of $100,000 and $25,000, respectively.
• Validated issues will be compiled into an official post-mortem to guide hardening of the Fusaka upgrade before any hard fork.
• Developers set a staged rollout to testnets—Holesky on Sept. 29, Sepolia on Oct. 13, and Hoodi on Oct. 27—with mainnet activation only after successful upgrades and Devnet-5 analysis.
• Fusaka bundles PeerDAS, EOF, and adjustments to gas limits and blob parameters to boost data availability and throughput, though some industry voices question the contest’s timing.
