How to run a challenger?

Anyone can permissionlessly become a challenger to help monitor bridge operators.
You need to have a Bitcoin wallet in order to become the challenger.
Connect your Bitcoin wallet to get started
Stake sBTC (BTC for mainnet) as security deposit to become a challenger. If a challenger is found to act maliciously, the security deposit will be slashed to punish such behavior.
Wait for several minutes for the staking to be processed.
Once the staking completes, click the "Verify" button to start your challenger role. The challenge app will automatically verify proofs from transactions.
If an operator acted maliciously (e.g., tried to steal user's funds by submitting fake proofs), the bridge will send out challenge tasks to challengers. You will see the challenge task pop up in the Total Challenged section:
Click the red pop up button to enter Challenge page. Here you will see all challenges listed on the left. Select one to start the challenge process.
Click one of the challenges to see the details. Click "Start Analysis" to analyze the fraudulent proof. An analysis will be generated automatically to indicate the error chunk. Click "Submit Challenge" to submit this challenge to the bridge.
Note: Since all challengers will receive the same challenge task, you need to be the first one to submit the task in order to be considered as successful. If another challenger submitted the task earlier, you won't be able to successfully submit the same challenge.
