Think you can break the Vault?
Good.
The Vault Contest is a public technical challenge based on EterGam Vault Preview and specially prepared challenge files.
Three levels.
Three objectives.
Three opportunities to prove yourself.
Some participants will succeed.
Some will fail.
Both outcomes are part of the challenge.
Challenge files are available for download from 1 June 2026 to 1 September 2026. After that date, the download links will be locked again.
The download window is limited. The contest is not.
Participants may continue researching, testing, and submitting valid solutions without a time limit.
The files are provided.
The objectives are defined.
The rest is up to you.
The reward is not money.
The reward is:
Successfully completing a challenge proves far more than receiving a payment. The objective is to learn, document, analyze, and contribute.
No money.
No cash prizes.
No crypto rewards.
No token rewards.
No NFTs.
No bounty pool.
No hidden payout.
No compensation.
If experience, knowledge, and technical achievement are not enough reward, this contest is not for you.
The contest applies only to files, applications, and materials intentionally provided by EterGam for this challenge.
The objective is to recover the requested content from the provided challenge materials and document the process used.
You may use:
You must not:
The goal is not password guessing or brute force attacks. Challenge solutions should focus on analysis, reverse engineering, cryptographic understanding, implementation weaknesses, or architectural findings.
Stay inside the challenge scope. Everything outside the provided contest material is out of scope.
Any attempt to use this contest as a cover for unauthorized access, abuse, disruption, data theft, malware activity, or attacks outside the defined scope will be treated as malicious activity and may be reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

No password is provided.
No encrypted asset file is provided separately.
No additional recovery material is provided.
This level is intentionally difficult. The goal is to extract anything valid from the protected vault material, or to document a reproducible method that proves meaningful access to protected content.
Success condition:
Recover any valid protected content or demonstrate a reproducible method that provides meaningful access to protected vault data.
A valid submission must prove the result and explain the process.
Include:
Claims without evidence will not be accepted.
The method matters. A clean, documented process is more valuable than a screenshot without explanation.
Submissions should be sent to dev@etergam.com.
Participants who provide valid, useful, or technically valuable submissions may be listed in the Vault Contest Credits section.
Recognition may include a name, alias, profile link, research acknowledgement, or a short description of the achievement.
Recognition is granted at EterGam's discretion.
The purpose of this contest is not financial reward.
The purpose is experience, knowledge, technical achievement, product hardening, and a better understanding of security architecture.
Security is not improved by claims.
Security is improved by testing.
