Kick-off period
Overview
The kick-off period represents "a 48-hour window" designed to orient participants with the contest framework, clarify the codebase specifications, and address initial questions before the main competition begins.
Key Events
Contest Commencement Announcements
An official notification marks the start of the kick-off window, providing essential information about upcoming activities during this phase.
Kick-Off Live Stream (Optional)
Participants receive "a thorough walkthrough of the codebase" and can engage directly with sponsors and team members. The organizers encourage attendance, as it offers valuable insights to resolve uncertainties before diving into the audit work.
Clarification & Feedback Window
Throughout the entire 48-hour period, participants may:
- Request clarifications regarding contest specifications
- Discuss and propose feedback about potential inconsistencies in the specification documentation
"By the end of the Kick-Off period, the contest spec will be finalized based on the discussions and feedback."
Critical Points
-
Specification Finalization: "After the 48-hour Kick-Off period, no changes to the contest spec will be accepted." Participants should voice concerns during this window.
-
Competition Decisions: All judgments and determinations will rely upon the finalized specification, so familiarity with the final version is essential for strategy alignment.
