As much of a fan of Ethereum as I am, i have been extremely weary of possible loopholes in initiating smart contracts. With Quantstamp it is obvious that a new layer of security for Smart Contracts is a definite need in this space.
Truth is, humans will always eventually seek and find loopholes in whatever new system that comes to life and Etheruem is not excluded from this theory. This is why I am excited about the new Quantstamp project.
My only worries are, using human participants to find the errors in smart contracts;
• Humans are prone to errors which is what we are trying to protect the smart contracts from in the first instance. Whats to say there wouldn't be another human error in overlooking or missing certain loopholes. The relief for this is that the Quantstamp system will continually build towards automation as it matures. • The prisoner dilemma theory. What is to say the verifier that find a loophole in a Smart Contract does not exploit the loophole themselves. Quantstamp hopes that the knowledge that another verifier can close the loophole and claim the bounty will be enough to avoid the dilemma for verifiers. Lets hope this stands to be true!
In Summary I am super excited about the Quantstamp Project and will continually support and propagate it as much as possible
