Code4rena is honored to have helped launch many independent auditors’ web3 security careers while reimagining the audit.
One of the most rewarding things for C4 staff is getting to see upstart talent build a name they can bank on and have a world of opportunity open up to wardens. Just the same, we hear all the time from projects that they’ve found amazing solo auditors among the ranks of C4 wardens.
Today, we’re excited for our next phase in serving security researchers and securing projects.
Auditors want to showcase their strengths, experience, and performance. Projects deserve a trusted, objective way to review researchers’ track records. Code4rena Profiles address both needs and empower auditors to leverage their best work to support their careers.
Showcase your auditing skills
Imagine if you, as an auditor, had a single place you could go to highlight your work, celebrate your wins, and take on solo auditing opportunities. That’s exactly what Code4rena Profiles are! Every profile will have:
- Your name, avatar, and relevant tags
- A metrics bar consisting of your high and medium-severity findings
- Your leaderboard ranking
You’ll also have the ability to toggle visibility on:
- Your activity stream
- A list of project logos that you helped secure
- Your findings heatmap
Certified Wardens will also have additional (editable) sections available, the main one being the ‘Get a quote’ function.
If a project has viewed your profile and would like to book you for a solo audit, all they have to do is click this button to initiate the process! The C4 team you already know and trust will help take care of the rest so you can focus on securing projects.
Time for the feature breakdown
Now, let’s take a deeper look at each feature included in a Code4rena Profile.

- Legal agreements
- Scoping, pricing, and logistical planning
