Delegate Mission Request Summary:
Launching four cybersecurity awareness campaigns quarterly, featuring a blend of pioneering and emergent blockchain projects. The objective is to dissect and illuminate project-specific security measures, facilitate user safeguarding practices, and deliver comprehensive community education on cybersecurity within the blockchain domain. This initiative is designed to allow projects to concentrate on their core development while we spearhead the critical task of enhancing user security literacy. With each campaign spotlighting 6-8 projects, we aim to elevate the security posture of approximately 30 projects annually.
This endeavor is critically timely, given the surge in Layer 2 solutions and the escalating complexity of cybersecurity threats in these ecosystems. It addresses the urgent need to prevent users from missing out on crucial security insights that could protect them against sophisticated cyber threats.

Specification
How will this Delegate Mission Request help accomplish the above Intent?
-
This strategy streamlines the process for projects by offloading the complex task of cybersecurity education and awareness. We leverage our expertise as a blockchain cybersecurity expert to represent their security initiatives, educating the community and magnifying their impact.
-
By enabling projects to focus on their core offerings, we manage the comprehensive aspects of their cybersecurity campaigns, including the creation of secure Discord environments, cybersecurity NFT designs, promo videos, educational materials, and interactive security challenges with potential rewards. Engaging 6-8 projects per campaign, we aim to elevate the security awareness of ~30 distinguished or emerging projects on Optimism, thereby onboarding users more securely to the projects/ecosystem and educating them on preventing cyber threats.
-
Our campaigns go beyond mere task listings. They encompass a rich mix of cybersecurity education, project-specific security feature reviews, and practical advice on safeguarding digital assets. This “learn by doing” approach, potentially coupled with rewards, is designed to benefit both developers and users, contributing significantly to the ecosystem’s resilience against cyber threats.

Background
Managed 4 discords and audited 6 to ensure security was maintained and education, engaged over 8
20,000 users in cybersecurity education within these last four years and Optimisim was a project I looked into and had respect, for transparency and was blown away at how after reviewing Optimism that it was a blockchain that was definitely going to push forward. These campaigns involved collaboration with high-profile projects like Marketcap, Paraswap, Bungee, Jumper, Bebop, and Hop Protocol, where the focus was on elevating their cybersecurity visibility and user protection measures. Despite the success, there’s always room for growth and improvement, which we aim to achieve by leveraging our extensive experience as a cybersecurity expert in blockchain, analyzing transaction security, and auditing project-specific Discord environments for enhanced security.
Here are links to previous campaigns and threads that shed light on our comprehensive approach to blockchain cybersecurity awareness. Our commitment to continuous improvement will drive our efforts to further secure the blockchain ecosystem against evolving cyber threats.
