Introduction

Venn Network is on a mission to revolutionize blockchain security, and we’re looking for the best security minds to join us. The Venn Wallet Security Hackathon isn’t just about competition—it’s about finding the next generation or existing security teams that will plug into Venn’s infrastructure and become core contributors in our decentralized security network. If you're serious about blockchain security, this is your chance to prove your skills and secure your place in the Venn ecosystem.

Venn Developer Workshop. You'll learn how to use

- Custom detection boilerplate template - to easily plug and play your security logic. 

- Security sandbox -  to test, debug and improve your solution.

- ChatGPT Venn Custom Detector Assistant

Judging Criteria

Custom Detector Implementation

• Does the detector function as intended and triggers based on the challenge requirements?
• Does the implementation effectively utilize the venn-custom-detection api and its built-in capabilities?
• Are comments included to clarify the logic and purpose of the code?
• Is the code structured in a readable and organized manner?

Testing

• Do all test cases execute correctly and pass without issues?
• Are there test cases designed to confirm that triggers are not generated in incorrect scenarios?
• Are there test cases that verify are triggered when expected?

Documentation

• Does the README.md clearly explain what the custom detector does?
• Are the triggers descriptions in README.md well-structured and easy to understand?
• (If relevant) Does the README.md provide real-world block or transaction examples that would trigger the detector?
