Program Overview

Exactly is a decentralized, non-custodial, and open-source protocol that provides an autonomous fixed and variable interest rate market enabling users to frictionlessly exchange the time value of their assets and complete the DeFi credit market.

Please note, from April 22 through May 4, Exactly will be undergoing a Public Audit. During this time, any in-scope bug submission reported to this program, that was also submitted for the contest, by one or more reporters, will be considered a 'Known Issue' and closed as out of scope. Additionally, valid bug reports submitted during the audit may have their rewards delayed until the audit is completed. A full list of reported known issues will be provided, and this program will be updated once the audit is completed.

For more information about Exactly, please visit https://exact.ly/.

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.

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 (e.g., the use of deprecated Chainlink API was reported in EXA-36), it may be rejected together with proof of the issue being known before escalation of the bug report via Immunefi.

Previous audits and known issues can be found at: https://docs.exact.ly/security/audits.

All High and 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 20 000.

KYC is required for this bug bounty program. Government identification, legal name, and country of residence will need to be supplied.

Payouts are handled by the Exactly team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in USDC and DAI, with the choice of the ratio at the team's discretion.

Assets in scope

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

Though only the proxy contracts are listed as in-scope, current implementation and any further updates to the implementation contracts are considered in scope. When reporting a bug, please make sure to select the relevant proxy smart contract as the target.

If an impact can be caused to any other asset managed by Exactly 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 consideration by the project. This only applies to Critical and High impacts.

Periphery Contracts have a reward cap equal to “High” (USD 25 000). This means that regardless of the complexity, impact, or exploitability of a potential vulnerability discovered within these contracts, the bounty paid out will not exceed that limit.

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.

Out of Scope & Rules

The following vulnerabilities are excluded from the rewards for this bug bounty program:

  • 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)
  • Griefing

Smart Contracts

  • Incorrect data supplied by third party oracles
    • Not to exclude oracle manipulation/flash loan attacks
  • Basic economic governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)
  • Lack of liquidity
  • Best practice critiques
  • Sybil attacks
  • Centralization risks

The following activities are prohibited by this bug bounty program:

  • Any testing with mainnet or public testnet contracts; all testing should be done on private testnets
  • Any testing with pricing oracles or third party smart contracts
  • Attempting phishing or other social engineering attacks against our employees and/or customers
  • Any testing with third party systems and applications (e.g. browser extensions) as well as websites (e.g. SSO providers, advertising networks)
  • Any denial of service attacks
  • Automated testing of services that generates significant amounts of traffic
  • Public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability in an embargoed bounty
