However, only [ApeCoinStaking.sol](https://github.com/HorizenLabs/ape-staking-public/blob/main/contracts/ApeCoinStaking.sol) is in-scope for the bug bounty program. The repo is a hardhat project that contains a simple local deploy script that uses realistic config parameters.

If an impact can be caused to any other asset managed by ApeCoin 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 the consideration by the project.

Please watch the [Horizen Labs Ape Staking Smart Contract Walk-Thru](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LO-1f9nyjs) for a video overview of the staking contract and read the docs for further information, [https://docs.apestake.io/](https://docs.apestake.io/).

ApeCoin Smart Contracts

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the [Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.2](https://immunefi.com/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.

Critical smart contract vulnerabilities are capped at 10% of economic damage, primarily based on value at risk, but also PR and branding aspects. However, there is a minimum reward for critical vulnerabilities of __USD 100 000__. 


All bug reports must come with a PoC with an end-effect impacting an asset-in-scope in order to be considered for a reward. Explanations and statements are not accepted as PoC and code is required.

All vulnerabilities marked acknowledged and accepted in the [Halborn security review](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ppauv4me-WWWKIwWUUiWP32vtisXcKKg/view?usp=share_link) are not eligible for a reward.

ApeCoin requires KYC to be done for all bug bounty hunters submitting a report and wanting a reward. Recipients must provide their name, certificate of incorporation (if a company), physical address, email address, ethereum address to receive the funds, and confirmation on whether the ethereum address is at an exchange or other custodian, or owned directly by the recipient. They will also be required to sign the ApeCoin foundation’s standard grant agreement document. The collection of this information will be done by the project team.

Payouts are handled by the __ApeCoin Foundation__ directly and are denominated in __USD__. However, all payouts are done in __ApeCoin (APE)__.
