Abstract

We present the Hydra Framework, a new principled approach to modeling and detecting security-critical bugs. By fusing a variant of classical N-version (redundant) programming with automated bug-bounty payouts, the Hydra framework is particularly appealing as a way to provide economically rigorous and cost-effective bounty protections for smart contracts.
