Hi Lido team,
I'm building a pre-contest audit triage service: a 3–5 day security pre-pass for protocols about to enter a public audit contest (Code4rena, Sherlock, Cantina). The idea is to flag the highest-severity issues before wardens compete for them — every bug caught privately is a payout you don't make publicly.
Why I'm reaching out: Lido ran a $103,500 C4 contest (2025-07 CSM v2). I've studied that contest structure and the CSM v2 codebase. When you plan the next protocol upgrade contest, a focused pre-pass could catch 1–2 high-severity findings before the contest opens — saving 10–50x the triage cost in public payouts.
Portfolio: github.com/FROMTHEHEAVENS/audit-triage-portfolio
- K2 Kinetic Router: 4H + 4M findings on a $135K C4 contest
- Monetrix: 5 high-confidence vulnerability hypotheses on a $22K contest
- Kelp DAO bridge: post-mortem infrastructure analysis
Pricing: Standard ($500 USDC, 3-day critical-path triage) or Pro ($1,500 USDC, 5–7 day full packet with PoC). Crypto-paid, direct wallet-to-wallet.
Question for you: Are you planning another protocol upgrade contest in 2026? If so, I'd love to discuss whether a pre-pass makes sense for your timeline.
No hard sell — just opening the conversation. Thanks for your time.
