Description

Bug Bounty

Critical

Bugs that freeze user funds or drain the contract's holdings or involve the theft of funds without user signatures.

10% of the value of the hack up to $500,000.

High

Bugs that could temporarily freeze user funds or incorrectly assign value to user funds.

$10,000 to $50,000 per bug, assessed on a case-by-case basis

Medium/Low

Bugs that don't threaten user funds

$1,000 to $5,000 per bug, assessed on a case-by-case basis

The severity guidelines are based on Immunefi's classification system.

Note that these are simply guidelines for the severity of the bugs. Each bug bounty submission will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Submission

Please email [email protected] with a detailed description of the attack vector. For critical and moderate bugs, we require a proof of concept done on a privately deployed mainnet contract. We will reach back out in 1 business day with additional questions or the next steps on the bug bounty.

Bug Bounty Payment

Bug bounties will be paid in USDC. Alternative payment methods can be used on a case-by-case basis.
