We’re excited to announce the launch of AI First Flights: a new way to practice smart contract auditing on Cyfrin Codehawks.
AI First Flights are self-service practice audits that give developers instant feedback on their security findings. Unlike traditional First Flights that run on a schedule with manual judging, AI First Flights are always available and provide results in minutes through AI-powered evaluation.
The experience is straightforward: choose from 10 practice audits at varying difficulties, review the codebase, submit your vulnerability findings, and receive detailed AI feedback immediately.
Each AI First Flight uses the same submission format as competitive audits, so you’re practicing the full workflow, from identifying vulnerabilities to documenting findings and classifying severity. The AI judges your submissions, validating each finding, identifying what you missed, and how your analysis compares to experienced auditors.
AI First Flights give you more flexibility in how you practice. Want to work through multiple audits over a weekend? They’re ready. Need to fit practice into your schedule between other commitments? You can start and complete them on your own timeline.
The 10 AI First Flights are designed to help you build pattern recognition across different codebases and architectures. The instant feedback means you can practice, review results, and immediately apply what you learned to your next attempt - all while the code patterns are still fresh in your mind.
Each can only be completed once per user, so your submissions matter, but there's zero reputation risk while you’re developing your skills.
AI First Flights don’t replace our traditional First Flights; they complement them. Use AI First Flights when you want flexible, on-demand practice with instant feedback. Use traditional First Flights when you want to test yourself in scheduled contests with manual judging and community participation.
Together, they give you more ways to practice and more opportunities to build the skills you need for competitive auditing.
AI First Flights are available now to all Cyfrin CodeHawks users. Log in to your account, navigate to the First Flights page, and select the "AI Judged First Flights" tab to begin.
Whether you’ve just completed an Updraft auditing course or you're looking for more practice opportunities, AI First Flights are ready when you are.
