Immunefi, Trail of Bits, Solana Foundation and other leading players in the Web3 ecosystem have joined forces for a solid security standard. The joint effort was crowned with the “Rekt Test”, a comprehensive core security standard designed to improve the security performance of Web3 projects.
The Rekt Test is a short survey primarily aimed at Web3 projects. But it can be used by anyone interested in assessing the security of projects. Its purpose is to establish a minimal level of security performance that Web3 projects must adhere to. At the same time, providing a safer environment for both users and investors.
According to the announcement, the Rekt Test covers seven critical safety requirements:
- System Documentation and Roles. This clause includes documenting all actors, their roles and privileges.
- Key Management and Access Control. The survey focuses on the implementation of robust key management systems that include the physical step.
- Incident Response and Crisis Management. Projects should have a written and tested incident response plan.
- Team and Personnel Safety. Performing background checks and precise identification of employees, especially those in key roles, helps maintain transparency and trust within the team.
- Code Security and Testing. Compiling code with the latest compiler, defining key literals for the system, and testing them on every commit are essential practices for code security.
- External Audits and Vulnerability Management. Rekt Test emphasizes the importance of implementing external audits and vulnerability disclosure programs or bug bounties.
- Attack Mitigation and User Protection. Projects should consider attack vectors to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. They should also protect users from unintentional abuse within the system.
