Horizon Finance
Submit a BugProgram Overview
Horizon Finance allows participants to deposit their assets (any kind the platform supports) with a fixed or floating interest rate, and get rewarded according to the interest rate they chose with an order according to how many assets they deposited.
For more information about Horizon, please read the Horizon Whitepaper.
The bug bounty program covers its smart contracts and apps and is focused on the prevention of loss of user funds, denial of service, and data breaches and data leaks.
Rewards by Threat Level
Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.1. 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 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 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 50 000.
Payouts are handled by the Horizon Finance team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in HRZ and stablecoins, with the choice of the ratio at the discretion of the team.

All smart contracts of Horizon Finance can be found at https://github.com/Horizonfinance2020.
However, only those in the Assets in Scope table are considered as in-scope of the bug bounty program. Only web/app vulnerabilities that directly affect the web/app assets listed in this table are accepted within the bug bounty program. All bugs related to the server environment or general cloud environment are out of scope.
If an impact can be caused to any other asset managed by Horizon that isn’t on this table but for which the impact is in the Impacts in Scope section, you are encouraged to submit it for the consideration of the project. This applies to only Critical impacts.
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.
