FAQs

Some of your pressing questions about CIPHER
has been answered below:

Q. When will this start?
CIPHER is a YSWS concept. If this gets selected for 2026 Summer Internship or if I get sponsors this will become a reality! Keep an eye on #cipher!
Q. Can I submit multiple projects?
YES! in fact you are encouraged to make multiple projects.
Q. What is "BYTES"?
BYTES are the fake currency of Cipher. After submitting a project, you will be assigned some "bounties" where you have to find others vulnerabilities. The result of the bounty hunt determines how many BYTES you'll receive for each hour coded.

Use the BYTES to buy something nice!
Q. How do I track time?
Use Hackatime, an editor extension that tracks the time you spend coding. You can install it here!
Q. I have more questions!
If you have any more questions feel free to ask in #cipher or reach out to me!
