We believe that no technology is perfect, and working with skilled security researchers is crucial in identifying weaknesses in our technology. As such, a bug bounty for Liquidity Network’s NOCUST smart contracts is now live to encourage hackers to find for smart contract vulnerabilities.
Rewards
Findings will be scored based on the impact and the cost of executing the attack:
Major – Reward: $1000 – $10000
- Double spending
- Protocol design flaws
- Critical smart-contract vulnerabilities allowing to steal all funds
Medium – Reward: $500 – $1,000
- Denial of service
- Halting the Commit-chain
- Lock other users funds/Blocking withdrawals
Low – Reward: $100-$500
- Degradation of user experience
- Unexpected smart-contract behaviour not necessarily leading to a critical vulnerability
Prizes will be awarded at the sole discretion of Liquidity Network. Quality of the report and reproduction instructions can impact the prize. Rewards will be paid out in LQD or ETH.
For this initial bug bounty program, there is a maximum bounty pool of $20,000.
The bug bounty program will run for a minimum of three months, starting May 27, 2019.
