Approve Polkadot Assurance Legion Bounty
The subject of this proposal is to set up a bounty which will be used to help selected Polkadot parachains undergo rigorous audit procedures. The primary goal of the proposal is to contribute to an overall greater level of security in the Polkadot ecosystem. Its secondary goal is to establish a pool of high-quality auditing companies specialized in Rust (specifically Substrate pallets and ink! smart contracts) which, over time, will help make audits more accessible for the whole Polkadot ecosystem, and make Substrate more attractive to new builders. This proposal is brought forward by the Polkadot Assurance Legion (PAL) - a security governance club comprising the following parachain teams: HydraDX, Interlay, Astar Network, Manta Network, Acala, Centrifuge, Zeitgeist and Equilibrium.
Current Progress and Comments:
The members of the Polkadot Assurance legion offered an accessible auditing service. Currently only focused on code and technical features with a possible future expansion to game theory and other more subtle systems. After Q3 2023 the Github of the P.A.L. is still not available or open to the public. It is still uncertain much of their operations. There is not much activity on X either. The form to participate in the Polkadot Audit Fund is still not available either. As of December 2nd 2023 the Polkadot Assurance Alliance announced that it will start taking applications starting the 4th of the same month (original: https://twitter.com/PolkadotAssured/status/1730979446583132311, archived: https://archive.ph/nyp6v).
