How it works
The proposed research should take about a month (part-time) to complete and must culminate in a blog post, written in English, of at least 1,000 words documenting the research. Please see Truffle Security’s existing blogs to get a sense for the tone and writing style used.
The Truffle Security research team will review submissions as they come in and will notify researchers within 10 business days of submission as to the status of their acceptance.
