This Audit Competition Is Live!
$250,000 USD is available in rewards for finding eligible bugs in Base Azul codebase of about 190,000 nSLOC.
KYC is required.
Base team will respond within 48 hours on weekdays to all bug reports. Any technical questions and support requests can be asked directly to Base or Immunefi in the Base Azul Audit Competition Discord channel.
In this contest bug fixes may be applied mid-contest. Further details are in the 'Assets In Scope' section.
When the Audit Competition has ended Immunefi will publish an event-specific leaderboard and bug reports from the event.
Rewards
Rewards by Threat Level
Rewards are distributed among SRs according to Immunefi's Standardized Audit Competition Reward Terms and includes All Star Pool and Podium Pool reserved for All Star Program participants.
The reward pool is determined by the greatest severity bug found.
- If one or more Critical severity bug is found, the reward pool will be $250,000 USD
- If one or more High severity bug is found, the reward pool will be $125,000 USD
- If one or more Medium severity bug is found, the reward pool will be $70,000 USD
- If one or more Low severity bug is found, the reward pool will be $30,000 USD
- If none of the above conditions apply then the reward pool is $20,000 USD
For this Audit Competition, duplicates are valid for a reward under the following conditions:
- Duplicate reports for the same unfixed bug are valid
- Once a fix is publicly disclosed, new reports for that bug are invalid
- Reports submitted before the fix are still eligible
Fixes may be applied mid-contest.
Private known issues, meaning known issues that were not publicly disclosed, are not valid. Currently, there is only one which cannot be disclosed. We have a commit containing the resolution to that issue disclosed within a private repository. The commit hash and additional evidence will be made available to the Immunefi team.
Reward Payment Terms
Payouts are handled by the Base team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payments are done in USDC on Base.
After the event has concluded and the final bug reports have been resolved, rewards will be distributed all at once based on Immunefi’s distribution formula.

Prohibited Activities
- Any testing on mainnet or public testnet deployed code; all testing should be done on local-forks of either public testnet or mainnet
- Any testing with pricing oracles or third-party smart contracts
- Attempting phishing or other social engineering attacks against our employees and/or customers
- Any testing with third-party systems and applications (e.g. browser extensions) as well as websites (e.g. SSO providers, advertising networks)
- Any denial of service attacks that are executed against project assets
- Automated testing of services that generates significant amounts of traffic
- Public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability in an embargoed bounty
- Any other actions prohibited by the Immunefi Rules
Feasibility Limitations
The project may be receiving reports that are valid (the bug and attack vector are real) and cite assets and impacts that are in scope, but there may be obstacles or barriers to executing the attack in the real world. In other words, there is a question about how feasible the attack really is. Conversely, there may also be mitigation measures that projects can take to prevent the impact of the bug, which are not feasible or would require unconventional action and hence, should not be used as reasons for downgrading a bug's severity.
Therefore, Immunefi has developed a set of feasibility limitation standards which by default states what security researchers, as well as projects, can or cannot cite when reviewing a bug report.
