Announcing the Crytic $10k Research Prize

Summary: Trail of Bits created the Crytic Research Prize to reward published academic papers built on its blockchain tools, with submissions closing November 1st, 2020. The firm says it will evaluate all entries and award cash prizes to the best papers, citing a lack of reliable tools and experiments at academic events as the problem it wants to address.
What you should know: The prize targets a gap Trail of Bits names directly: researchers have no incentive to maintain tools and often lack the engineering resources, so the security tooling that papers depend on tends to decay after publication.
