Critical Reward Calculation

Reward amount is 10% of the funds directly affected, capped at the maximum critical reward of:

$30,000
The reward is dependent on the ratio between the funds at risk, which includes all affected projects on top of the respective blockchain/DLT, and the market cap according to the average between CoinMarketCap.com and CoinGecko.com, calculated at the time the bug report is submitted.

Rewards are distributed according to the impact the vulnerability could otherwise cause based on the Impacts in Scope table further below.

Overtime Attack Limitations

In cases of attacks executed over time for smart contract and blockchain/DLT bugs, an explicit two hour window without human intervention is provided, starting from the first erroneous or malicious action. Only achievements during this window will be counted, regardless of further impact.

Public Disclosure of Known Issues

Bug reports covering previously-discovered bugs acknowledged below are not eligible for any reward through the bug bounty program.

Previous Audits

Serai has provided these completed audit review reports for reference. Any unfixed vulnerability mentioned in these reports are not eligible for a reward.

Proof of Concept (PoC) Requirements

A PoC is required for the following severity levels:

  • Blockchain/DLT - Critical

In addition, PoC will be required for the following low impact:

  • Undocumented panic

All PoCs submitted must comply with the Immunefi-wide PoC Guidelines and Rules. Bug report submissions without a PoC when a PoC is required will not be provided with a reward.

Reward Payment Terms

Payouts are handled by the Serai team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payments are done in USDC.

KYC Requirement

The provision of KYC is required to receive a reward for this bug bounty program, where the following information will be required to be provided:

  • IRS form W-8/W-9, as applicable
  • Applicant is not listed on the OFAC SDN list

KYC information is only required on confirmation of the validity of a bug report.

Primacy of Impact vs Primacy of Rules

Serai adheres to the Primacy of Impact for the following severity levels:

  • Blockchain/DLT - Critical
  • Blockchain/DLT - High
  • Blockchain/DLT - Medium
  • Blockchain/DLT - Low

If a category’s severity level is covered within the Primacy of Impact, it means that even if the impacted asset is not in-scope but is owned by the project, then it would be considered as in-scope of the bug bounty program as long as it involves an impact under that respective severity level. When submitting a report, just select the Primacy of Impact asset placeholder. If the team behind this project has multiple projects, those other projects are not covered under the Primacy of Impact of this program. Instead, check if those other projects have a bug bounty program on Immunefi.

All other severity levels not listed here are considered under the Primacy of Rules, which means that they are bound by the terms of the bug bounty program.

Immunefi Standard Badge

Serai has satisfied the requirements for the Immunefi Standard Badge, which is given to projects that adhere to our best practices.

KYC required

The submission of KYC information is a requirement for payout processing.

Participants must adhere to the Eligibility Criteria.

Proof of Concept

Proof of concept is always required for all severities.

Category 1: Transparent

Prohibited Activities

Default prohibited activities
  • Any testing on mainnet or public testnet deployed code; all testing should be done on local-forks of either public testnet or mainnet
  • 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 that are executed against project assets
  • Automated testing of services that generates significant amounts of traffic
  • Public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability in an embargoed bounty
  • Any other actions prohibited by the Immunefi Rules

Feasibility Limitations

The project may be receiving reports that are valid (the bug and attack vector are real) and cite assets and impacts that are in scope, but there may be obstacles or barriers to executing the attack in the real world. In other words, there is a question about how feasible the attack really is. Conversely, there may also be mitigation measures that projects can take to prevent the impact of the bug, which are not feasible or would require unconventional action and hence, should not be used as reasons for downgrading a bug's severity.

Therefore, Immunefi has developed a set of feasibility limitation standards which by default states what security researchers, as well as projects, can or cannot cite when reviewing a bug report.
