im working on a decentralized chat app. i open sourced it to get feedback on the implementation.

for a project like this, its important for it to be open source in order to gain user confidence in the security. but i find that the project is too complicated for pro-bono security assessment work (which is understandable).

fiverr probably isnt the best place to find reputable support, but i wanted to see the prices. it seems to range from 50 to 5k+

i wont be getting the support any time soon, but id like guage an estimate. i havent done something like this before so any/all advice is appriciated.

i created a threat-model which may help: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/research/threat-model/
