Code4rena forms an exclusive partnership with Chainlink Labs to enhance the growth of their respective ecosystems. This collaboration includes support from Chainlink BUILD and Chainlink SCALE members, along with smart contract audits conducted by auditors.

In 2021, Code4rena tackled challenges related to Web3 security by engaging multiple auditors to review the code of selected projects. Through its open audit module, Code4rena employs gamification to reward auditors based on the severity and uniqueness of the bugs they uncover. With over 7,700 registered auditors, Code4rena collaborates with individual auditors, teams, and organizations to leverage their expertise and achieve optimal results.

Chainlink BUILD aims to support emerging startups within the Chainlink ecosystem, while Chainlink SCALE facilitates the acceleration of smart contract innovation on blockchains and Layer 2 networks. Code4rena will offer consulting services and educational content to assist developers in securely implementing innovative solutions using Chainlink's technology.

Having previously conducted comprehensive audits of Chainlink, including the CCIP protocol, Code4rena has a history of collaboration with Chainlink. Ada Vaughan, Head of Growth at Code4rena, emphasizes the importance of addressing smart contract security issues. By partnering with Chainlink Labs, they can support Chainlink BUILD and Chainlink SCALE members in conducting smart contract audits on the Code4rena platform.

Oliver Birch, Global Head of BUILD at Chainlink Labs, echoes similar sentiments, emphasizing Chainlink's role as a leading decentralized computing platform in driving the Web forward. Chainlink has facilitated over $9 trillion in transaction value by providing financial institutions, startups, and developers with access to real-time data, off-chain computation, and secure cross-chain interoperability across all blockchains.
