Decentralized cloud network Beowulf has enlisted the services of cybersecurity firm HackerOne to attempt to hack the company’s blockchain layer. By inviting hackers to join a bounty to hack Beowulf’s system, the blockchain platform aims to stress-test its supercomputer network, which is geared towards B2B communication services.

Headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in London, New York, Singapore and the Netherlands, HackerOne will throw out the challenge to its expert community of white-hats, which numbers over 100,000. Fittingly, the bounty offered by Beowulf for successful penetration of its blockchain layer stands at $100,000. The prize will be awarded to whoever can hack the blockchain system and expose vulnerabilities.

The Beowulf blockchain employs Delegated Proof-of-Stake, a dual token structure and assures transparency for all transactions in the system. Having already partnered with some of the largest companies throughout Asia, the Singapore-based Beowulf is furnishing a growing number of businesses and organizations with integrated B2B communication services. The public release of the Beowulf mainnet is scheduled for November 1.

Beowulf founder, CEO William H. Nguyen said: “Pen testing is necessary to identify and remediate any bugs which may be lurking in the network. HackerOne have an impeccable reputation, having recently been entrusted by Singapore’s Ministry of Defence to uncover vulnerabilities in its internet-facing systems. The size of the bug bounty we have pledged underlines our commitment to safeguarding Beowulf’s blockchain network.”
