+# Axelar Analysis Report
+
+## Approach taken in evaluating the codebase
+
+- Started with the docs
+- Then the codes in scope line by line
+- Took a brief look at other contracts not in scope
+- Back to the docs to counter some notes I made while going through codebase
+- Discussed a few ideas with sponsors to understand their design choice and why I think it's risky or how I can recommend a better method to implement the strategies
+- Finally went back to the codebase to sum up my reports
+
+## Anything that you learned from evaluating the codebase
+
+A couple things, to list a few:
+
+- Create3
+- The concept of interchain calls
+- Understood why _addreses_ are treated as strings in the context to allow non-EVM chains support in the future and that is why they must also be converted to lower strings to avoid inequality issues.
+
+### Refresher on previously acquainted things
+
+Got more understanding of formerly acquainted concepts like:
+
+- Create
+- Create2
+- Governance
+- A few basic solidity concepts
+
+## Any comments for the judge to contextualize your findings
+
+I always approach contests as a learning opportunity and then submit issues I believe should be looked on, I spent around ~ 20 hours spread around 4 days on the contest, so I believe I had understanding of the protocol to a level to submit some findings, I would be waiting for the comments on my findings to find out what I can improve in my reports or why my thought process is wrong.
