XBLOCK SYSTEMS has become the first blockchain-related company to participate as a co-operator of KISA’s project. Any South Korean living in South Korea or foreign countries can participate in this bug bounty system. KISA will perform first verification while external evaluation committee will perform second verification. This external committee is composed of professors, experts in security holes, and software developers.
“Recently, there were serious bugs with platforms that did not perform enough verifications and tests before launching Mainnet.” said Director Cho Young-joon of XBLOCK SYSTEMS. “We expect Mainnet of X Blockchain will become stronger as we participate in this bug bounty project.”
