Smart contract security is of critical importance as the Ethereum ecosystem rapidly expands across different infrastructures & applications. However, there exist serious gaps and misconceptions about security as it relates to smart contract design, development, validation, tooling, offchain components, audits, bug bounties, monitoring & incident response.

This panel brings together six recognized researchers within the Ethereum security ecosystem to help demystify facts from fallacies.
