Decided to give Cantina a try last October, 8 months later results are finally out... Tens of solo findings in 1st Java audit and outperforming top Cantina leaderboard bros by 3-7x feels pretty good, not gonna lie. It's a shame the post-audit experience was so terrible I vowed never to return to that platform. *justified rant warning* - 8 months resolution time, as of writing - bounty still not sent. - Tens of hours spent escalating and defending submissions from wrong verdicts. - Counted ~ 104 judging mistakes (wrong dupes, clear invalids, wrong severity) that have been corrected. More that haven't. - Value loss of ~$110,000 due to resolution taking 7 months longer than it should and OP token tanking its way down to ~50 cents. Sure, when competing in non-USD contest pots fluctuations are an accepted risk. But 8 months of judges being incompetent and not being able to wrap up a contest was not part of my threat model. During the C4 judging days I would fully process 1000 findings in under a week (solo), OP-Java had 360 and multiple judges. It comes as no surprise that Cantina never announced on socials the results unlike 5 other contests that completed this week, certainly couldn't be the case that they wanted to avoid bad press or highlighting TrustSec dominance, right? It's a shame that we have to continue discussing bounty platform malpractices instead of critical bugs, but there is no other choice except keeping everyone accountable. A rant-free technical breakdown post for the solo finds will be coming shortly.
