Notes from the show

We are joined by David (aka thehasheddude), the founder of MadShield (formerly SolShield) and infamous twitter personality on crypto-twitter. His primary focus is on security audits and bounties in the Solana ecosystem, and has audited the top tier projects from around the Solana ecosystem.


David shares his mindset of how goes through performing a security audit, including some of the common bugs/exploits he sees. Including how he recommends getting started as a security auditor.

One of my favorite parts is David’s mindset around finding the security vulnerabilities and why he is not tempted to use the exploits to extract funds. Finding the exploits and building relationships with the teams is so motivating for him.

What does it actually take to build a meaningful project in the fast-moving world of Solana? On the Solfate Podcast, hosts Nick and James pull back the curtain on the process, moving beyond hype to explore the real work happening on-chain. As developers actively building in the ecosystem themselves, they bring a practitioner's perspective to every conversation. Each episode features an in-depth interview with a founder or core builder, delving into the technical hurdles, strategic decisions, and personal journeys that define their work. You'll hear firsthand accounts of architecting protocols, designing tokenomics, navigating community growth, and solving the unique challenges presented by high-performance blockchain technology. The discussions are grounded, detailed, and focused on the mechanics of creation, offering listeners a genuine look at the innovation shaping Solana's future. This isn't about surface-level commentary; it's a series of deep dives for anyone curious about the people and code behind the projects. Tune in for candid insights you won't find anywhere else, straight from the developers on the front lines.
