Program Overview

Polymesh is an institutional-grade blockchain built specifically for regulated assets that makes it easy to create, issue, and manage tokens on the blockchain. It streamlines antiquated processes and opens the door to new financial instruments by solving the inherent challenges with public infrastructure around identity, compliance, confidentiality, and governance.

For more detailed information about Polymesh, you can visit their website or read their whitepaper.

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.

The following assets/impacts are considered out of scope of this program:

In addition, known issues highlighted in previous audits are considered out of scope. See

Polymesh requires KYC to be done for all bug bounty hunters submitting a report and wanting a reward. The information needed is a Name, Address, Phone Number, Email Address and Crypto Address (for payment of the award).

Payouts are handled by the Polymesh team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in USDC or POLYX, at the discretion of the bug report submitter.
