Souhail Mssassi – Live Training #7 – Smart Contract Security #2

What is the highest paid skill in the Blockchain industry?
Security.
As a smart contract security specialist, you can earn up to 250k USD / year.

Yep.

Hundreds of millions have been lost to smart contract hacks.
If you can write safe smart contracts, it’s worth a LOT of money.

And in the security niche, smart contract audits is what pays the most.
Blockchain companies pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single smart contract audit.

In a smart contract audit, there are 2 components:

• Finding security vulnerabilities
• Presenting your findings in a report

The mindset to have is different than for a developer who try to write a safe smart contract.
As a smart contract auditor, you put yourself in the shoes of a hacker and try to exploit security vulnerability, if any.

In this training, you will learn from a professional security specialist how to do smart contract audits.
After this training, you will be able to do your own smart contract audits and charge top dollars for it!
