Cyfrin is thrilled to announce the launch of Cyfrin Profiles: A unique, personalized Cyfrin account that delivers a harmonized experience across the entire Cyfrin ecosystem

With it, both Updraft and Solodit brands have been refreshed to better fit within the ecosystem, strengthening the cohesion of Cyfrin’s products.

What are Cyfrin Profiles?

Cyfrin Profiles are integrated, cross-platform accounts that combine individual Updraft, CodeHawks, and Solodit logins into a seamless sign-on experience. They create a distinct, personal space for users to learn, compete, and earn across Cyfrin products and services. 

Cyfrin Profiles are the first visible step into an expanded Cyfrin ecosystem built to assist students, blockchain engineers, and security researchers at every stage of their careers. 

For protocols and organizations, Cyfrin Profiles gives access to top industry talent and services to support their work building, growing, and securing scalable products.

What do Cyfrin Profiles do?

Today’s release of Cyfrin Profiles brings significant improvements to the user experience. It: 

  • Unites all Cyfrin platforms, accounts, and services into a single, unified network 
  • Enables a single sign-on for users of all products 
  • Delivers a customized account space, synthesized across all platforms
  • Improves cross-platform navigation 
  • Advances the technical foundation for future enhancements

Unified ecosystem 

Invisible to users, Cyfrin Profiles connects Updraft, CodeHawks, and Solodit into a shared backend environment. Allowing user activity to be combined into a consolidated view

Single sign-on 

Users will now have one login to access all Cyfrin platforms

  • Returning users will be prompted to link all their Cyfrin accounts on their next login using their previous sign-in credentials. After this, logging into any Cyfrin platform grants access to all linked accounts.
  • New users will simply create a new account, immediately enabling smooth access to the Cyfrin network of platforms.

Customized account space 

Cyfrin Profiles are purpose-built to showcase achievements across every Cyfrin platform and service. It provides a personalized space to display activity from all Cyfrin properties: Updraft courses, CodeHawks competitive audits, and Solodit research

Profile pages aggregate learnings, progress, and findings into a clean, user-friendly interface while clearly showing everything they’ve accomplished in the Cyfrin suite of platforms and services. 

Share it with colleagues, friends, clients, and recruiters. Profiles are designed to demonstrate your knowledge as a smart contract developer, validate your experience as a security researcher, and illustrate your commitment to blockchain learning in one convenient location.

Navigation improvements

Improved navigation features have been released across all Cyfrin properties. The most significant addition is a new ecosystem navigation window, accessible from the top nav bar on every Cyfrin page. Just click the icon and navigate easily across Cyfrin’s universe of platforms.

Why we built Cyfrin Profiles

We view Cyfrin Profiles as a critically important update for the Cyfrin ecosystem and the whole community. 

It marks the next development in Cyfrin’s mission to level up the user and protocol experience across the full web3 stack: basic learning to research, DevOps to advanced security, interface design, and navigation.

Professional web3 tools, resources, and services are extremely fragmented and impossible to navigate cohesively. It’s challenging for developers to create a consolidated view of their professional and educational experience and complicated for protocols to access the talent and industry-leading services they need to build successful ventures. 

Cyfrin Profiles are the first step toward a world where every stage of the smart contract developer’s learning and development lifecycle is considered in a single coordinated ecosystem.

What is the new look of Cyfrin Updraft and Cyfrin Solodit

Cyfrin Updraft is the industry-leading smart contract development and security education platform. Its mission is to teach everyone how to develop smart contracts securely. 

Cyfrin Solodit is the world’s largest database of vulnerabilities, exploits, and mitigations. Giving researchers access to the data they need to help strengthen the security of leading protocols. 

The new designs effectively reposition each brand within the Cyfrin ecosystem with a fresher, cleaner, more modern look, aligning all platforms more closely. 

The Cyfrin Updraft logo is now more distinct and recognizable. The new Updraft green creates a striking contrast, embodying spring, renewal, and the dawning of a new experience. Mirroring how Updraft’s focus on education represents the growth of a learner’s new career. 

Cyfrin Solodit’s logo is now less angular, more stylized, and better represents its core value proposition of security and its association with the Cyfrin ecosystem.

Conclusion 

We are extremely excited about the launch of Cyfrin Profiles and the new look of Cyfrin Updraft and Solodit. Today’s release delivers three clear upgrades: 

  1. A federated Cyfrin experience for Updraft, CodeHawks, and Solodit, enabling seamless navigation, learning, research, and security services throughout. 
  2. Creation of personalized user account spaces to display a consolidated view of all their achievements across platforms. 
  3. A refreshed Cyfrin Updraft and Solodit brand design

This is not a destination; it is the foundation for future enhancements, allowing Cyfrin to extend its mission further and level up the user and protocol experience across the full Web3 stack
