Context

Goals

Organize and conduct a series of drills to help protocol teams prepare for attacks and dependency failures in order to test both social and technical resiliency, harden internal procedures for deployment & recovery, and develop a training program for team members.

After going through these drills the team will be able to understand:

• What are the key dependencies of the protocol and what happens if they fail?
• Is there sufficient monitoring infra to detect & respond to failures?
• Is there an understanding of who has access to admin keys and how & when they are accessed to respond to threats?
• Do essential team members have backup people in place who can respond if they are unavailable?
• Does the team know who to contact in other protocols if a failure is detected?

Stakeholders

All team members are welcome in the exercise with duties related to:

• Notification & reporting infrastructure for application state & dependencies
• Smart contract developers
• FE development & interface hosting
• Communications

Vision

Throughout these exercises we will develop a suite of open source tools that teams will be able to use for future exercises and training new team members.
