The Secureum Bootcamp

When is the next bootcamp gonna start?

TL;DR: It's running! It's online! You can start right away! Check #participate (opens in a new tab) for details!

Confused? Well, let me explain...

The Secureum Bootcamp started out in October 2021 with "Epoch 0" and was divided into LEARN and CARE phase. The LEARN phase ran for 8 weeks and each week had its own "slot". Learning materials for each slot was released week by week and later tested in quizzes.

In December, the 128 best scoring participants (from 1024 total participants) were invited to the CARE phase. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of four projects that partnered up with Secureum for an "audit-like" contest. During this contest participants would review the project's provided code (as one would during an audit) and provide a report of any findings which were aggregated into a single big report in the end.

In 2022, with all of the learning material from Epoch 0 already available, Epoch Infinity was launched. The bootcamp is no longer guided, meaning no more weekly emails with learning material. Instead, participants are expected to learn the materials from Epoch 0 at their own pace. Then, once they feel ready, they can sign up for the next RACE. These are monthly quizzes that will test your knowledge compared to other participants. Sometimes the top scorers of these quizes will be invited to special events like CARE or CARE-X.

• You can relive Bootcamp Epoch 0 in Discord (opens in a new tab) to get the original experience or alternatively find a summary of relevant material in the Secureum Mindmap (opens in a new tab)
• You can practice for RACEs using the quiz write-ups listed below.
• Once you feel ready to #participate (opens in a new tab) in RACEs, don't forget to sign up. Pay attention to the Important Dates to see when registrations open and when the RACE will happen. Note that registration is only required once, if you already have a RUN code you only need to monitor the #announcements (opens in a new tab) channel for the link to the quiz page. There will NOT be reminder e-mail about the monthly RACEs, you have to check the channels!
