Brink, a Bitcoin development organization, funded the first-ever independent, third-party security audit of Bitcoin Core, performed by the security firm Quarkslab with support from the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF). This audit, a significant milestone for the reference Bitcoin client, involved manual code review, static/dynamic analysis, and advanced fuzz testing. The results showed no critical, high, or medium-severity bugs; only two low-severity issues and thirteen other minor findings were noted. Furthermore, the process led to improvements in Bitcoin Core's testing infrastructure, including new fuzz testing capabilities, which are already being integrated into the project.
