This initiative greatly improves transparency, security, and user experience across the Ethereum ecosystem. During our Beta phase, we streamlined the audit publication process for over 48 audit firms, including industry leaders like Zokyo, Hacken, and Runtime Verification. As a result, a total of 2,376 audits securing $25 billion have been published on Trustblock. Auditors can now publish audits effortlessly using our web interface or CLI, reducing logistical overhead and allowing them to focus on core auditing tasks.\n\nFurthermore, Trustblock serves as a hub for security data, aggregating audits from numerous firms. This makes critical security information easily accessible to developers and users, fostering a more informed and secure ecosystem. Our LabelSec integration allows platforms and protocols to display live security statuses, enhancing user trust and engagement. For example, a decentralized exchange integrating LabelSec can provide users with clear, accessible security information directly within their interface (see playground here: https://app.trustblock.run/widget/project).\n\nAdditionally, we are developing Critical State Monitoring (CSM), an innovative monitoring tool that enables real-time tracking of smart contract events. CSM allows for immediate detection of vulnerabilities or contract changes, proactively safeguarding projects and users.", "hidden": true, "question": "How does your project contribute significantly to the Ethereum network's infrastructure? Please provide specific examples and metrics if available.", "questionId": 5}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Trustblock engages in pioneering development work by transforming static audit reports, typically in PDF or webpage formats, into structured, actionable data. This innovative approach enhances interoperability by allowing seamless integration with various platforms and protocols, thus improving the composability of security data across the Ethereum network.\n\nOur LabelSec and DataSec solutions further contribute to enhancing user experience and interoperability. LabelSec provides clear security labels within platforms, boosting transparency without compromising privacy. Users can easily see the security status of projects they interact with, enhancing their trust and engagement. DataSec offers automated security data updates, ensuring platforms always display the latest audit and security information. This reduces manual efforts and errors, improving reliability and efficiency.\n\nAdditionally, our Critical State Monitoring (CSM) tool proactively monitors smart contracts for potential issues, shifting audits from static reports to dynamic, real-time security measures. This innovation significantly enhances both security and user trust by enabling immediate detection and response to vulnerabilities.\nWe are also developing publishing enhancements with AI integration. By leveraging AI, we aim to make audit publication more efficient and the dissemination of security data more accurate and useful, further enhancing the user experience for auditors and integrators.", "hidden": true, "question": "Describe any pioneering development work in your project, particularly in enhancing privacy, interoperability, or user experience.", "questionId": 6}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Trustblock addresses several specific problems in the Ethereum ecosystem. One major challenge is the lack of transparency in security audits. Traditional audits are often inaccessible and not user-friendly, leading to a trust deficit among users. Additionally, auditors face logistical challenges in publishing audits, diverting time from essential security work. Furthermore, there is fragmented security data across the ecosystem, making it difficult for developers and integrators to access up-to-date security information, which hinders informed decision-making.\n\nOur solutions improve upon existing alternatives by creating a centralized security hub. Trustblock aggregates audits from multiple firms into a single, accessible platform, offering a unified API for any EVM-based project. This approach mitigates the fragmentation present in current systems. We provide efficient publishing tools through our web interface and CLI, simplifying the audit publication process and allowing auditors to focus on critical tasks.\n\nOur LabelSec solution provides live security statuses within platforms, enhancing transparency and user trust. Additionally, our Critical State Monitoring (CSM) tool offers proactive monitoring of smart contracts, allowing immediate response to vulnerabilities. By converting audits into structured data, we enable standardized access to security information.
