RADCIPHER WEEKLY CHALLENGES

52 weeks. 52 vulnerabilities. 52 chances to level up.

Real vulnerabilities from production audits.
Every Monday. No exceptions.

Join Discord Twitter


The Real Issue

The problem isn't that practice platforms don't exist.

  • You finish the challenges. Then what?
  • You wait for a new CTF. Then what?
  • You do one audit competition. Then wait weeks for another.

There's no RHYTHM. No consistency. No weekly forcing function to get better.

Like trying to get fit by going to the gym once a month.


Our Solution

We're building something different inside our community.

RADCIPHER WEEKLY CHALLENGES

Not another static challenge set.
Not another one-time CTF.

A WEEKLY release of real vulnerabilities.

  • ✅ Every Monday. New challenge.
  • ✅ New attack vector. New pattern to master.
  • 52 challenges per year.
  • 52 opportunities to level up.
  • 52 weeks of consistent practice.

Why Weekly Matters

Because skill development needs FREQUENCY.

- One challenge per month = You forget what you learned
+ One challenge per week = You build muscle memory

This is how our auditors got good:

→ Reviewing code EVERY WEEK
→ Finding bugs EVERY WEEK
→ Learning patterns EVERY WEEK

Not once a quarter. Not when a CTF drops.

Every. Single. Week.


What Makes Us Different

Other Platforms

❌ Finish the set, you're done
❌ Static difficulty levels
❌ Generic CTF problems
❌ Solo practice
❌ No progression system

Radcipher Challenges

✅ New challenge every Monday. Forever.
✅ Progressive weekly challenges
✅ Real vulnerabilities from our audits
✅ Live leaderboard & weekly competition
✅ Build reputation over time

The stuff we actually find in production.

This is how we train our junior auditors internally.

Now we're opening it to everyone.


The Web3 Security Talent Gap

The talent gap is real.

And the only way to close it is:

→ More researchers
→ Better training
→ Consistent practice
Weekly forcing function to improve


Launch Timeline

First challenge drops early February.

Then every Monday.
And the Monday after that.

52 weeks of getting better at breaking things.


How It Works

Every Monday Morning

  1. New challenge released — Real vulnerability from production code
  2. Submit your findings — Use our submission portal
  3. Compete on leaderboard — Weekly rankings + all-time stats
  4. Learn from solutions — Detailed writeups published after each week

Challenge Structure

📅 Week XX — [Vulnerability Type]
🎯 Difficulty: Progressive
🔍 Category: DeFi / NFT / L2 / Cross-chain
⏱️ Submission Window: Monday 00:00 UTC → Sunday 23:59 UTC

Scoring System

  • Speed — First to find gets bonus points
  • Quality — Detailed writeups earn more
  • Completeness — Find all bugs, not just one
  • Impact — Higher severity = higher points

Who This Is For

Competitive Learners

"I learn best when there's a leaderboard and weekly deadlines."

Career Switchers

"I want to go from 'interested in security' to 'actual researcher' in 6 months instead of 2 years."
