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, smart contracts, and blockchains/DLTs, focusing on the impact of the vulnerability reported.

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

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 USD 50 000.

The following vulnerabilities are not eligible for a reward:

• All vulnerabilities marked in the Peckshield security review
• All vulnerabilities marked in the Halborn security review
• All vulnerabilities marked in the Code4rena security review

Payouts are handled by the Aura Finance team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in USDC and AURA, with the choice of the ratio at the discretion of the team, and at least 50% of payouts will be in USDC.

All smart contracts of Aura Finance can be found at https://github.com/aurafinance. However, only those in the Assets in Scope table are considered as in-scope of the bug bounty program.

If an impact can be caused to any other asset managed by Aura Finance that isn’t on this table but for which the impact is in the Impacts in Scope section below, you are encouraged to submit it for the consideration by the project. This only applies to Critical impacts.

• Attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
• Attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
• Attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (governance, strategist)
