Cartesi has launched a new version of its Honeypot application aimed at enhancing the security of rollups. The update includes new features such as the fraud-proof system Permissionless Refereed Tournaments (PRT).
Key Features of Honeypot v2
Honeypot v2 features the PRT fraud-proof system designed to protect against Sybil attacks without relying on permissioned validators or expensive hardware. This update makes the application more versatile and effective for security testing.
The Role of Honeypot in Security Assurance
The Honeypot application is designed to challenge the security of Cartesi rollups. It aims to test whether someone can hack the application to obtain the funds locked in the rollup contract. If those funds remain untouched, it indicates that Honeypot is functioning as intended.
Comments from Cartesi Founder
Cartesi Founder Erick de Moura stated, “Honeypots allow projects to commit their own funds to validate the integrity of their fault proofs before asking others to rely on them. It’s a gradual, transparent path toward trustless security that reflects the values this ecosystem was built on.”
The new version of Honeypot by Cartesi marks an important step toward enhancing the security of rollup solutions. It allows projects to confidently test their technologies, which is crucial for the future scaling of Ethereum.
