Infrastructure vulnerabilities, including:
Unique T&Cs
Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on this classification system
All web/app bug reports must come with a PoC with an end-effect impacting an asset-in-scope in order to be considered for a reward. Explanations and statements are not accepted as PoC and code is required. In addition, Critical and High severity reports must come
with a suggestion for a fix to be considered for a reward.
Critical and High severity Solidity Contracts bug reports must come with a PoC with an end-effect impacting an asset-in-scope in order to be considered for a reward. Explanations and statements are not accepted as PoC and code or pseudo code is required. In
addition, Critical and High severity reports must come with a suggestion for a fix to be considered for a reward.
Rewards for critical smart contract and blockchain/DLT vulnerabilities are further capped at 10% of economic damage, with the main consideration being the funds affected in addition to PR and brand considerations, at the discretion of the team. However, there is a
minimum reward of USD 50 000 for Critical bug reports.
For Blockchain/DLT infrastructure, only vulnerabilities that result in direct economic damage to yield will be considered as High, and only vulnerabilities that result in direct economic damage to principal funds will be considered as Critical.
Payouts are handled by the Sovryn team directly and are denominated in USD. 50% of the payouts are done in BTC, and the other 50% is paid out in SOV according to a 24 month vesting schedule (with monthly vesting).
