Build Commands, Test Commands, and How to Run Them

https://github.com/lidofinance/core/blob/feat/vaults/CONTRIBUTING.md

Is this an upgrade of an existing system? If so, which? And what are the main differences?

Lido V3 represents a fundamental expansion of the Lido staking protocol through the introduction of Staking Vaults (stVaults) – isolated vault contracts that enable specialized staking arrangements between stakers and node operators. stVaults allow stETH to be minted not only from the main Lido pool but also from ETH held in these external contracts. All stVaults are coordinated and monitored by a central VaultHub contract that ensures proper collateralization and operational health.

The upgrade implements EIP-7002 support for triggerable withdrawals for stVaults, enabling more flexible exit mechanisms for staked ETH.

To handle the increased complexity of managing multiple isolated vaults, the oracle system has been significantly enhanced with a "Lazy Oracle" design that reports vault-specific data and processes updates asynchronously rather than requiring synchronous updates for all vaults simultaneously, improving scalability and reducing on-chain overhead.

New Node Operator Predeposit Guarantee mechanism addresses deposit frontrunning vulnerabilities by requiring node operators to pre-commit their deposit data on-chain before actual deposits occur. This system includes on-chain BLS signature verification to cryptographically validate the deposit credentials, ensuring that operators cannot substitute malicious validator keys at deposit time.

All new components – core protocol accounting upgrade, stVaults architecture, oracle enhancements, and predeposit guarantees are included within the competition scope.

What ERC20 / ERC721 / ERC777 / ERC1155 token standards are supported?

Which chains and/or networks will the code in scope be deployed to?

Out of scope

Default Out of Scope and rules

Smart Contract specific

  • Incorrect data supplied by third party oracles
    • Not to exclude oracle manipulation/flash loan attacks
  • Impacts requiring basic economic and governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)
  • Lack of liquidity impacts
  • Impacts from Sybil attacks
  • Impacts involving centralization risks

All categories

  • Impacts requiring attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (including, but not limited to: governance and strategist contracts) without additional modifications to the privileges attributed
  • Impacts relying on attacks involving the depegging of an external stablecoin where the attacker does not directly cause the depegging due to a bug in code
  • Mentions of secrets, access tokens, API keys, private keys, etc. in Github will be considered out of scope without proof that they are in-use in production
  • Best practice recommendations
  • Feature requests
  • Impacts on test files and configuration files unless stated otherwise in the bug bounty program
  • Impacts requiring phishing or other social engineering attacks against project's employees and/or customers
