Security Teams
Venn is currently operating in a permissioned mode. To join Venn as a Security Team, please contact us to express your interest and learn more about the requirements and process.
What is a Security Team in the Venn Network?
Security Teams in the Venn Security Network focus on identifying, mitigating, and preventing potential threats through comprehensive security measures. Security Teams can provide customized security solutions by integrating their unique threat models into the Venn infrastructure using a dedicated SDK.
Types of Security Teams
Audit Companies
Specialize in conducting thorough audits to identify bugs and vulnerabilities in smart contracts, applications, and infrastructure.
What Venn Enables: While audit companies are crucial in the pre-deployment phase, it is common for developers to continue updating and evolving their projects after the initial audit. This ongoing development can render the original audit less relevant post-deployment. Venn enables audit companies to extend their capabilities into the post-deployment phase, offering continuous protection for their clients and the Venn ecosystem. With Venn, audit companies can provide post-deployment protection through custom environment checks and tailored solutions, integrating their off-chain expertise into on-chain security measures to ensure comprehensive and ongoing security.
Monitoring and Detection Platforms
Focus on real-time monitoring and threat detection to promptly identify and respond to security incidents.
What Venn Enables: Monitoring and detection platforms excel at identifying and alerting for security events. However, their ability to actively intervene and prevent incidents in real-time during the TX execution phase has been limited. Venn transforms this capability by enabling these platforms to detect, mitigate, and stop malicious activities as they occur. By integrating with Venn’s infrastructure, monitoring and detection platforms can integrate their detection models using Venn SDK into their node client. This allows them to offer their clients immediate and adequate security measures during TX execution time.
Formal Verification Teams
Focus on mathematically proving the correctness of smart contracts and protocols to ensure they behave as intended.
What Venn Enables: Venn allows formal verification teams to integrate their proofs directly into their node client using Venn's SDK for security infrastructure. Venn enables FV teams to offer their clients post-deployment and ongoing protection, providing custom and tailored validation solutions that adapt to evolving threats and maintain the integrity of verified protocols over time.
Security Researchers
Focus on uncovering new vulnerabilities and developing security best practices to safeguard the blockchain ecosystem. They delve into the complexities of cryptographic algorithms, consensus mechanisms, and smart contract security to identify potential weaknesses.
What Venn Enables: Venn provides security researchers with a robust platform to test and deploy their findings in a live environment. This capability allows them to validate their research and directly contribute to network security by implementing advanced security measures. Researchers can leverage Venn to transition their off-chain discoveries into on-chain protections, ensuring that their innovative solutions have immediate and tangible impacts on web3 security.
Economic Researchers
Specialize in modeling market risks, optimizing economic incentives, and driving sustainable growth for protocols. These teams utilize quantitative analysis and simulation techniques to provide insights into protocol performance and economic mechanisms.
What Venn Enables: Venn empowers economic researchers to bring their advanced models for market risk, economics, and on-chain activity directly into the Venn network. By integrating with Venn, these researchers can apply their off-chain analyses to on-chain operations, ensuring that economic strategies are implemented in real-time. This integration allows economic researchers to offer tailored solutions for protecting protocol incentives and managing economic and governance risks.
Rewards
Rewards for Security Teams are distributed based on their contributions and preference in the network’s security. Detailed information on reward distribution can be found in the economic section of the Venn documentation.
