Ripple has announced a $200,000 developer bounty program aimed at enhancing the security of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) lending protocol. This initiative, in collaboration with Immunefi, seeks to identify and address vulnerabilities as Ripple expands its DeFi presence and operations across Africa. The Attackathon invites ethical hackers and security researchers to test the protocol and report critical vulnerabilities. Simultaneously, DNA Protocol is advancing its genomic identity infrastructure in Tanzania, following successful implementations in Nigeria, Kenya, and Rwanda. This expansion underscores the growing integration of blockchain technology in diverse sectors across the African continent.
