Instadapp
Submit a BugProgram Overview
The Instadapp platform is a full feature platform for both users and developers to leverage the full potential of DeFi. The Instadapp protocol ('DSL') acts as the middleware that aggregates multiple DeFi protocols into one upgradable smart contract layer. This structure allows Instadapp to access the full potential of Decentralized Finance.
The main functionalities of the DSL are account extensions and upgradability. The unique upgradability means that the upcoming and new extensions will be upgraded, maintained and managed by INST governance. The DSL also includes a new operability layer that acts as a ‘Account Extension.’ These extensions allow the user to access new and unique functionality for their DSL account. These extensions and the evolution of the platform form a DeFi hub through which new use cases and extensions can be created, some examples of possible use cases include: Flash Loan Module, Authority extension, L2 extension, etc.

This bug bounty program is focused on their smart contracts and dapp and is focused on preventing the following impacts:
- Deletion of user data
- Theft of governance funds
- Thefts and freezing of principal of any amount
- Thefts and freezing of unclaimed yield of any amount
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 and smart contracts/blockchains, encompassing everything from consequence of exploitation to privilege required to likelihood of a successful exploit.
A PoC and a suggestion for a fix is required for Critical and High vulnerabilities. Medium level bug reports must come with a suggestion for a fix.
Bugs resulting in temporary freezing of funds are not eligible for a reward.
Payouts are handled by the Instadapp team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in stablecoins like, USDC, USDT and DAI at the discretion of the team.
