Reflecting the rapid movements of the crypto market, the team at the Foundation have had another busy month. With a refreshed homepage on the Security Leaderboard, our newest live showcase series, and plenty of AMAs spreading the word on all things security in blockchain, we’re sure this roundup will be a good one. Happy reading!

With a new month comes a new look! We’ve spruced up the Security Leaderboard homepage to make the experience a little smoother when it comes to doing your own research.
The eagle eyed of you might have noticed the addition of the Community Alert section which was added late last month. Our community is invited to share any security concerns, and blow the whistle, regarding any blockchain based project, whether it’s listed on the Security Leaderboard yet or not.
Our Community Alert system has been a huge hit so far, with alerts coming in from our security-dedicated community on the daily!
