The experts on pre-audit processes.
Code4rena Scouts specialize in scoping and pre-audit intel. They assess the following factors to help determine the optimal parameters for an audit (including length and reward size).
- Library dependencies
- External calls
- Timelocks
- SLoC
Comprehensive assessments.
In evaluating the scope of an audit, Code4rena Scouts provide valuable, high-level information to all parties.
- Reporting on the code and the state of the repo can provide useful context for those considering participating.
- Providing feedback to the project team on the scoping accuracy and repo preparedness helps accelerate the audit launch while maintaining consistency.

How the scouting process works.
- 01
Scouts review the proposed code and repo before an audit has begun.
- 02
Feedback is provided to the Project and Code4rena teams on scoping accuracy and preparedness. Any concerns are flagged, and the Scout can supply technical guidance regarding any necessary adjustments.
- 03
Once the audit begins, the Scout monitors the public code repo to ensure all guidelines are adhered to.
- 04
As compensation, Scouts receive a flat fee of $500 USDC per competition.
