Who we are 🌈

The Red Guild is a group of security experts, educators, and advocates committed to safeguarding Ethereum applications.

We believe in Ethereum as a technology for building more fair, open, and transparent social coordination mechanisms. To foster its adoption, we are convinced that we must protect the applications built on top of it. We are here to increase the resiliency of Ethereum's application layer.

In the guild, we all share a sense of responsibility towards the well-being of those who contribute to Ethereum's long-term success. We use our curiosity and purpose as fuel to help keep them safe.

We envision transforming security research and advocacy into a public good initiative in favor of the Ethereum ecosystem. This will complement the private profit-driven efforts of others in the space.

What we do ⚡

We have two main focus areas: application security research, and education / awareness.

In practice, this means:

• Public and private responsible disclosures of security vulnerabilities, bugs, issues, and other weaknesses. Like our recent disclosure on ENS.
• Sharing lessons learned in educational material (videos, articles, threads, talks, panels, workshops). For example, our workshop on security-oriented testing with Foundry for the Spanish-speaking community and our code review process. We also create and maintain wargames like the popular Damn Vulnerable DeFi.
• Participating in local communities and mentoring beginners, particularly those rooted in LATAM, like WebtrES and ManijaDevs.

Why support us 💪

Because there's no greater accomplishment in life than to become a proud supporter and patron of The Red Guild.

Remember: we don’t sell private security services. We’re solely backed by those who believe application security is fundamental for Ethereum’s success.

If you've ever played Damn Vulnerable DeFi, attended our workshops, learned from our articles, or benefited by our vulnerability disclosures, this is your chance to say thanks and push us to double-down efforts.

With your contributions, we aim to continue working full-time on everything we've been doing so far, as well as expand into:

• Producing pro educational content (videos, streams) on the latest of Ethereum app security.
• Making open, free, reusable trainings for security auditors, both in-person and virtual.
• Contributing to and supporting open-source smart contract security tooling.
• Designing and giving away the coolest of swags.
