# Secureum Bootcamp

![Secureum Bootcamp](/files/7WZL7aShbcaeUv8CfcAD)

## Mission

Secureum's mission is scaling security on the Ethereum ecosystem by acting on Ethereum's "*Layer zero*": the community, by providing education on smart contract security and best practices.

### Why?

Let's think about the ethereum ecosystem: there are billions of dollars of value, circulating on thousands of protocols, which are audited by hundreds of experts. So there’s clearly a bottleneck in security: **there are insufficient experts to properly cover all the protocols in the ecosystem**.

This fact is reflected in the losses due to security issues in many DeFi projects.

Currently, Secureum hosts the Epoch ∞ Bootcamp, which is an **ongoing bootcamp** where participants study Secureum's "`LEARN`" content at their own pace, and when ready, once a month they can sign up for a Secureum "`RACE`" to test their learnings.

Top scoring participants are invited to "`CARE`"s, to work side by side with one of Secureum’s collaborators.

It is completely free and online. For more details, `join the Secureum Discord server` or navigate to [🙌 Participate](https://github.com/secureum/Secureum-Book/blob/main/src/secureum_bootcamp/secureum_bootcamp/participate.md).
