Description
Sherlock Audit Contests scopes a protocol codebase, anchors review with a senior reviewer, and brings independent security researchers to test it in parallel. Sherlock then judges, deduplicates, and severity-aligns findings; after patches are applied, a Senior Watson reviews the changes and confirms the final state. The service is intended to give Web3 protocol teams broad pre-launch vulnerability discovery and actionable reviewed results.Category: Service Provider
