πŸ”’πŸ€” WHAT IS BORING SECURITY?

πŸ‘₯ Boring Security is a community-driven project that seeks to make security education more accessible for everyone. Our team consists of experienced security professionals and educators who are passionate about sharing their knowledge with others. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn about crypto and Web3 security, regardless of their background or level of expertise.

πŸ”’πŸ’‘ HOW DOES BORING SECURITY WORK?

πŸ—“οΈ Month on month, we partner with Web3 communities to host Partner Classes for free so that we enable different projects to create a proactive approach towards security. We empower communities to be safer together to become stronger together.

πŸ”— Sample promotions of our classes: https://twitter.com/BoringSecDAO/status/1647410583938166784

πŸŽ“ We have a roster of Web3 security experts within the team who generously share their time and knowledge to teach classes every month. Students must pass a quiz to attain their Alumni status and Proof of Knowledge NFT - when students don’t pass, we conduct personal 1-on-1 sessions between the instructor and the student to ensure they properly understand their mistakes and the lessons behind it.

🧠 Our 102 was launched in September 2022 for those who aim to further level-up their security knowledge with focus on reading and interacting with etherscan, understanding rug pull red flags, and learning more advanced ways to stay safe such as utilizing Wallet Delegation. Just last March, we had announced the 103 badge: earned not through taking a class, but through attending and engaging in security workshops and activities hosted by Boring Security and our partners.
