This proposal requests funding for the development of Phink, a sophisticated fuzzing tool for ink! smart contracts on the Polkadot blockchain. Developed by Security Research Labs, Phink aims to enhance the security and reliability of smart contracts by using advanced coverage-guided fuzzing techniques and smart mutations to detect vulnerabilities. The tool will be compatible with multiple ink! versions and custom runtimes, allowing for broad applicability across the ecosystem. The project will be open-source, encouraging community contributions and ongoing improvements, ultimately contributing to the robustness and security of decentralized applications within the Polkadot ecosystem.

Operation and maintenance of Polkawatch for 2025.
