DeGate
Submit a BugProgram Overview
DeGate is a decentralized orderbook exchange (DEX) built on the Ethereum blockchain that utilizes zero-knowledge technology. DeGate DEX offers spot market trading with limit orders and also offers a grid trading function. DeGate operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The DEX platform is focused on being user-friendly and is built on the principle of Trustlessness, or ‘Can’t do evil’, with no admin key. With DeGate’s unique Efficient Gas Saving technology, users can expect super-low gas fees while using a decentralized protocol. Another critical component of DeGate is the Permissionless Listing feature which enables any token to be listed in a permissionless manner on DeGate’s orderbook DEX.
For more information about DeGate, please visit https://docs.degate.com/.
DeGate Testnet is currently live on https://testnet.degate.com/, and more details can be found in the product documentation (https://docs.degate.com/v/product_en/overview)
The bounty environment has been deployed on Public Testnet, whose code was open sourced on Github, along with the Protocol Specification Docs, Circuit Design Docs and Smart Contract Design Docs.
For Whitehats: It is highly recommended that you review the details of this program in full. Although many Bug Bounty programs have standard terms and conditions, each also has their own unique details that are critical to your success.
Prior to submitting a report please review the Immunefi Bug Report Template and Best Practices.
Rewards by Threat Level
Please review how rewards are distributed based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.2. This is a simplified 5-level scale system with separate scales for Smart Contracts and Websites/Apps.
Payouts and Payout Requirements:
Payouts are handled by the DeGate team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in USDC. DeGate commits to honoring payouts according to the terms set out in this program at the time of report submission, and to treat this program as the agreement and source of truth concerning bug reports and responsible disclosures.
For the purposes of determining report validity, this is a Primacy of Impact program.
Learn more about report validity best practices here: Best Practice - Primacy of Impact vs Primacy of Rules.
DeGate does not have a Know Your Customer (KYC) requirement for bug bounty payouts.
Audit Discoveries and Known Issues:
Bug reports covering previously-discovered bugs are not eligible for any reward through the bug bounty program. If a bug report covers a known issue, it may be rejected together with proof of the issue being known before escalation of the bug report via Immunefi.

Impacts only apply to assets in active use by the project like contracts on mainnet or web/app assets used in production. Any impact that applies to assets not in active use, like test or mock files, are out-of-scope of the bug bounty program unless explicitly mentioned as in-scope.
Smart Contracts
- Smart Contracts - PoC, For Smart contracts and Circuits bug reports, all bug reports must come with a PoC with an end-effect impacting an asset-in-scope in order to be considered for a reward. Explanations and statements are not accepted as PoC and code is required. Bug reports are required to include a runnable PoC in order to prove impact. Exceptions may be made in cases where the vulnerability is objectively evident from simply mentioning the vulnerability and where it exists. However, the bug reporter may be required to provide a PoC at any point in time.
- For more information on PoCs please visit: Proof of Concept (PoC) Guidelines and Rules
Web/App
- Web/App - Bug reports are to include a runnable Proof of Concept (PoC) in order to prove impact. 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 PoC content must adhere to the PoC guidelines and rules of Immunefi. In the event that a PoC requires an attack on a web/app asset provided, they must still adhere to the rules provided, otherwise eligibility for a reward may be revoked.
- For more information on PoCs please visit: Proof of Concept (PoC) Guidelines and Rules
Whitehats we highly encourage you to review any potential subdomains and what specific port(s) are in scope. Even though the domain may be the same, different ports may point to different assets.
Dev Environment and Documentation:
DeGate has included dev documentation and/or instructions to help in reviewing code and exploring for bugs:
- https://docs.degate.com/v/product_en/overview
- https://github.com/degatedev/protocols/blob/degate1.0.0/DeGate%20Protocol%20Specification%20Document.md
- https://github.com/degatedev/protocols/blob/degate1.0.0/Circuit%20Design.md
- https://github.com/degatedev/protocols/blob/degate1.0.0/Smart%20Contract%20Design.md
Impacts to other assets
Hackers are encouraged to submit issues outside of the outlined Impacts and Assets in Scope.
If whitehats can demonstrate a critical impact on code in production for an asset not in scope, DeGate encourages you to submit your bug report using the “primacy of impact exception” asset.
Impacts in Scope
(For Blockchain/DLTR and Smart Contracts Only) This program is considered to be governed by Primacy of Impact. For more information on what this means visit: Best Practice - Primacy of Impact vs Primacy of Rules.
Impacts are based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.2.
At Immunefi, we classify bugs on a simplified 5-level scale:
- Critical
- High
- Medium
- Low
- None
Impacts in scope
Only the following impacts are accepted within this bug bounty program. All other impacts are not considered as in-scope, even if they affect something in the assets in scope table.

- Temporarily disabling user to access target site, such as: Locking up the victim from login, Cookie bombing, etc.LowImpact
Out of Scope & Rules
The following impacts and attack vectors are excluded from rewards by default for all Immunefi bug bounty programs:
- 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), except in such cases where the contracts are intended to have no privileged access to functions that make the attack possible
- Broken link hijacking is out of scope
Smart Contracts and Blockchain/DLT
- Basic economic governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)
- Lack of liquidity
- Best practice critiques
- Sybil attacks
- Centralization risks
- Impacts involving balance changes and authority freezes caused by the token contract itself, such as rebase tokens
- Impacts involving the need to use an unreasonable amount of valueless testnet ETH for block stuffing to force entry into Exodus Mode, register a significant number of tokens and accounts to occupy storage, and execute other economically secure attacks. An unreasonable amount is considered as over 300 ETH and a reasonable amount is 50 ETH or less. Any amount in between may be considered as valid or downgraded based on the other factors of the bug report.
