SR Wardens

Wardens who meet certain performance criteria within C4 gain the Certified Security Researcher (SR) role, which provides access to:

• Unrestricted number of comments during post-judging QA

• Unrestricted number of submissions per audit

The criteria (visible on your Code4rena account screen) to become a Certified SR are as follows:

1. Your signal is 40% (0.4) or higher. This is shown at the top of the page, below the “User information” heading.

2. Your tax information has been accepted. Scroll down to the “Tax information” section to confirm that your tax information has been accepted. If not, you must submit it to qualify for the SR role.

3. Be approved as a Certified C4 contributor.

4. Abide by the Certified Contributor Terms and Conditions.

5. Final manual review by C4 staff. Once you have met all the criteria above, your account automatically enters the manual review queue. There is no need to reach out or request this step. However, if you meet the SR requirements but the role has not been added after 24 hours, you are welcome to open a helpdesk ticket.

SR role assignments are automated on a daily basis, so if you meet the criteria but do not yet see the SR role on your Discord profile, you may need to wait for up to 24 hours.
