The Token Bridge Smart Contract Cracking Competition is expanding the deadline.
All the challengers will have an opportunity to win up to $50,000 until Jan. 7, 18:00 UTC.
The task is to identify potential vulnerabilities and issues in the FunC and Solidity smart contracts of Token Bridge.
More details one may find in the post: /channel/toncontests/101
To submit the vulnerability, make a Pull request on GitHub with the description of an issue, adding your TON wallet address to receive the prize.
Token Bridge Smart Contract Cracking Competition
Prize fund: Up to $50,000
Deadline: 18:00 UTC on December 30
Who can participate: Everyone
The Task is to identify potential vulnerabilities and issues in the FunC and Solidity smart contracts of Token Bridge.
Using this bridge, users can transfer any ERC-20 or BEP-20 tokens (for example, USDC or USDT) originally created on Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain to the TON Blockchain, with the ability to return them back.
The transferred tokens will be represented on TON as regular Jettons so that TON services, such as DEXs, will be able to work with them without any additional modifications.
Evaluation Criteria and Prize Fund Distribution:
Bounties are dependent on the severity of the discovered issues and could potentially range from $200 for bugs which do not affect economical safety to $25,000 for major flaws which can lead to Bridge insolvency or unconditional loss of assets by users. Prizes will be distributed in TONs.
Please focus on issues, conditions and attacks which could allow to bypass the smart contract's logic.
We are also interested in economic attack vectors to "ruin" oracles, given that oracles pay network fees.
Optimization of gas-usage or code-style improvements are out of the scope of this competition and will not be rewarded. Conditions when majority of validators or oracles (on any side of the bridge) are malicious or malfunctioning is out of the scope as well.
Details:
Description »
Solidity smart contracts »
FunC smart contracts »
Testnet bridge »
You can find useful unit tests in both smart contract repositories.
Submissions:
Submit a pull request on GitHub to Solidity or FunC bridge repo. Describe the issue as a comment to the pull request. Specify your TON wallet address to receive a prize.
Hello, contestants!
We need about 2-3 days to check and summarize the results of the first stage of the TON Smart Challenge #3. TON will be distributed until 19th December, but special NFTs only at the end of the second stage.
Please, note, all the cheaters from both stages will be disqualified. Cheaters are namely contestants that have submitted solutions from multiple accounts in order to increase their TON reward.
The second stage for stayers lasts until 23 Dec. 18:00 UTC. While diving into FunC, you may find helpful the dev portal.
We prepared the leaderboard of the TON Smart Challenge #3 on the website!

TON Hack Challenge which is dedicated to finding vulnerabilities in smart contracts has launched!
A full description of tasks is available on GitHub, click here or go to the website.
To be able to participate you need to have a couple of TON, know how to compose arbitrary cells (via fift/tonweb/ton3/ton(whales)/tongo/pytonlib), compose internal messages and send messages to the network. It will be useful to know how to read tl-b notation.
Each contract contains a major flow that allows to bypass of intended logic and stole all funds.
There will two stages of the contest:
1. The first 5 contracts are revealed at the same time to hack. After all smart contracts of the first stage will be hacked, there will be a 15-minute break.
2. The last 3 contracts will be revealed one by one: once a contract is hacked, there will be a 15-minute break and the address and info of the next smart contract will be revealed.
For almost all contracts their funC code will be available on reveal. Some, however, will be closed-sourced: you will need to disassemble them via TonScan, Ton Whales, DTON.io, Ton.cx.
Please, note, if you want to be notified about hacking smart contracts from the task to save time, you need to register through @toncontests_bot.
