Program Overview

Decentraland is a decentralized virtual social platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Within the Decentraland platform, users can create, experience, and monetize content and applications. Decentraland is built, governed, and owned by its users. Through the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) users can submit proposals for owners of MANA and LAND to vote on.

For more information about Decentraland, please visit https://decentraland.org/.

Responsible Publication

Decentraland adheres to category 3: Approval Required. This Policy determines what information whitehats are allowed to make public from their submitted bug reports. For more information about the category selected, please refer to our Responsible Publication page.

Rewards by Threat Level

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 web/app bug reports must come with a PoC with an end-effect impacting an asset-in-scope in order to be considered for a reward. All Smart Contract bug reports require a PoC and a suggestion for a fix to be eligible for a reward. Explanations and statements are not accepted as PoC and code is required.

High smart contract vulnerabilities to be calculated as 0.1% of the economic damage and capped at USD 500,000, 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 20,000.

All other rewards for the bug bounty program are scaled based on an internally established team criteria, taking into account the exploitability of the bug, the impact it causes, and the likelihood of the vulnerability presenting itself, which is especially factored in with bug reports requiring multiple conditions to be met that are currently not in-place. However, there is a minimum reward of USD 1 000 for each severity level for smart contracts, rewards will be provided at the determined fair value by the team depending on these conditions, assuming that the bug report is in-scope of the bug bounty program.

Decentraland has combined Critical and High Smart Contract impacts together, please refer to the High Smart Contract rewards and impacts respectively.

The following vulnerabilities are not eligible for a reward:

Decentraland requires KYC to be done for all bug bounty hunters submitting a report and wanting a reward. The information needed are Name, Mailing Address and any ID. The collection of this information will be done by the Decentraland team.

Payouts are handled by the Decentraland team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in MANA and USDT, with a minimum of 20% to be done in USDT.

Assets in scope

All smart contracts of Decentraland can be found at https://github.com/decentraland. 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 Decentraland 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.

Bug reports from compensated team members of any Decentraland core units will not be eligible for a reward. Employees and team members of third-party suppliers to core units that operate in a technical capacity and have assets covered in this bug bounty program will also not be eligible for a reward. All team members of the audit companies Decentraland works with, and its third-party suppliers, including Immunefi itself and its subsidiaries, are not eligible for a reward.

Bug reports from team members and third-party suppliers of businesses and organizations that are not a Decentraland Core Unit but have assets considered as critical infrastructure covered under the bug bounty program are also not eligible for the bug bounty program.
