Hilbert’s market for contract doubt
Hilbert proposes an Ethereum market where underwriters stake coverage against a protocol invariant, with payouts tied to an exploit proof.
- For
- Ethereum protocol teams and smart-contract security researchers
- Worth noticing
- The page lists a 10% hunter share of coverage and says there are no owner, pause, or upgrade controls.
Field notes
The page describes a three-part flow: a protocol names an invariant and funds a bounty plus underwriter premium; underwriters stake against it; a hunter commits and reveals an exploit for a prover to test. The stated settlement uses a discarded transaction frame and assigns hunters 10% of coverage. The homepage also lists no owner, pause, or upgrade controls and says working capital is refunded in full; these are presented as design terms, not independently verified behavior.
