At Brink, our mission is to ensure that Bitcoin continues to be the world’s most secure, reliable, and resilient monetary network. As part of this mission and to ensure the safety and robustness of the open-source Bitcoin Core software that powers the network, Brink sponsored an independent security audit of the Bitcoin Core codebase.

The assessment was conducted by Quarkslab, a respected software security firm, and was coordinated with the help of the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF). Funding was provided by Brink through the generous support of our donors, with technical collaboration from Brink engineer, Niklas Gögge, and Chaincode Labs engineer, Antoine Poinsot.

This work represents the first public, third-party audit of Bitcoin Core.
