GM builders & hackers,
ICYMI, yAcademy/yAudit is now Electisec.
Electi (Latin electus, “chosen”, “elected”) + Sec (security) which reflects:
The high-bar and meritocratic and PoW-based method by which resident auditors and researchers are elected to join the core team
The high-bar to entry in our fellowships where the acceptance rate is 3-5%
So what have we been up to?
