When insects are reported and validated, the Ethereum Basis coordinates disclosures to affected groups and is helping cross-check vulnerabilities throughout all purchasers. The Worm Bounty Program these days accepts stories for the next consumer instrument:

- Move Ethereum
- Lodestar
- Nethermind
- Lighthouse
- Prysm
- Teku
- Besu
- Nimbus
Along with consumer instrument, the Worm Bounty Program additionally covers the Deposit Contract, Execution Layer & Consensus Layer Specs and Solidity. 🙏

Your immense efforts had been instrumental to making sure Ethereum’s safety. Thanks!
