We chose Blackthorn because we were intrigued by the value of having multiple independent security researchers collaborating together. The findings increased the security and overall confidence in the bytecode system contracts of Ethereum. Our favorite part was the collaborative environment and effective feedback cycle between our team and Blackthorn, making it a very productive experience.

Working with Sherlock on both their competition product and Blackthorn securing Aave has been a pleasure. Aside from their commitment on applying the best security procedures, they are always innovating in aspects like the game-theory of security competitions.
