ALEX

ALEX is an open-source DeFi protocol built on Bitcoin via Stacks Blockchain and modelled on the world’s financial markets. At ALEX you can launch and trade your tokens, deposit BTC, stablecoins, and any Stacks native tokens to earn fixed or variable interest, borrow without risk of liquidation and obtain high yield via yield farming. We strive to build a sound financial ‘world’ on Bitcoin, through Stacks’ smart contracts, with the most intuitive and clear user experience.

This bug bounty program is focused on their smart contracts and is focused on preventing:

• Thefts and freezing of principal of any amount
• Thefts and freezing of unclaimed yield of any amount
• Theft of governance funds
• Governance activity disruption

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.2. This is a simplified 5-level scale, with separate scales for websites/apps and smart contracts/blockchains, encompassing everything from consequence of exploitation to privilege required to likelihood of a successful exploit.

All High and Critical Smart Contract bug reports require a PoC in order to be considered for a reward. Explanations and statements are not accepted as PoC and code is required.

This bug bounty program has fixed rewards in ALEX. The USD amounts reflected are only estimates. For an up-to-date price of the token, please visit https://www.alexgo.io/.

Critical smart contract vulnerabilities are capped at 10% of economic damage, primarily taking into consideration funds at risk, but also PR and branding aspects, at the discretion of the team. However, there is a minimum reward of ALEX 50 000. Additionally, the maximum reward is capped at 500 000 ALEX, even if 10% of the damage in USD equivalent is greater than the USD equivalent of 500 000 ALEX.
