dYdX Web App + API Indexer Pen Test

Funding amount:

$35,000

This grant will fund a full penetration test of the dYdX frontend and indexer codebases, neither of which were formally audited as part of the dYdX v4 launch. Halborn will run a deep dive on both codebases in an effort to find and disclose any vulnerabilities with these critical pieces of dYdX infrastructure. A report will be shared with the DEP, the DOS, and the dYdX Trading team with recommendations on how to patch any vulnerabilities identified through this exercise.

Malicious App Detection and Signature Blocking

Funding amount:

$120,000

Blockaid provides real-time malicious app detection and web scraping services for blockchain protocols. Thanks to partnerships with wallet providers like Metamask, they can block interactions with malicious websites instantly, and warn of / prevent malicious transactions from being signed by the end user. The dYdX Ecosystem Development Program proposes to enter into a one-year service agreement with Blockaid by which Blockaid will extend these monitoring and signature prevention services to malicious dYdX copycat websites.
