Join us as we reinforce the security of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) and pave the way for seamless living, studying, and working opportunities across Europe! EBSI enthusiastically welcomes developers skilled in ethical hacking to check out the Big Bug Bounty (BBB) programme, which began on 5 June and is dedicated to identifying potential vulnerabilities within EBSI's APIs. EBSI's APIs allow users to interact with EBSI's ledger, either to retrieve information (read) or, under specific conditions, to add information (write) to the ledger. Their security and availability is therefore a priority.

EBSI is a joint initiative of the European Blockchain Partnership and the European Commission with a goal of revolutionising cross-border services and enhancing trust in digital transactions. By leveraging the power of Web3 technologies like blockchain, EBSI paves the way for secure and transparent information transfer, opening doors to a wide range of benefits for European citizens and beyond. Ensuring the utmost safety and integrity of the system is paramount to its continued success, therefore EBSI is committed to making its infrastructure as secure as possible.
Recognising the immense value that ethical hackers bring to the table, the BBB programme is calling on skilled developers to put their expertise to the test and help strengthen the EBSI infrastructure. These talented hackers will play a pivotal role in fortifying the infrastructure, safeguarding sensitive data, and protecting against potential cyber threats.
The programme is set to run for approximately three months, and developers who manage to uncover bugs and propose remediations can earn rewards of up to €15,000. If you're up for an exciting bug-hunting adventure, this is your chance to make a real impact on the future of the digital EU!
