Impacts only apply to assets in active use by the project like contracts on mainnet or web/app assets used in production. Any impact that applies to assets not in active use, like test or mock files, are out-of-scope of the bug bounty program unless explicitly mentioned as in-scope.

__Impacts to other assets__ 

Hackers are encouraged to submit issues outside of the outlined Impacts and Assets in Scope. 

If whitehats can demonstrate a critical impact on code in production for an asset not in scope, DeGate encourages you to submit your bug report using the “primacy of impact exception” asset.

[DeGate](https://degate.com/) is a decentralized orderbook exchange (DEX) built on the Ethereum blockchain that utilizes zero-knowledge technology. DeGate DEX offers spot market trading with limit orders and also offers a grid trading function.

DeGate Smart Contracts

__Reward Distribution__

Please review how rewards are distributed based on the [Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.3](https://immunefi.com/immunefi-vulnerability-severity-classification-system-v2-3/). This is a simplified 4-level scale system with separate scales for Smart Contracts and Websites/Apps.

__Reward Calculation for Critical Level Reports__

For critical and high smart contract bugs, the reward amount is paid at a fixed rate of __$1.1M and $100,000__ respectively. This means than in order to qualify, the security researcher must demonstrate: 

__Reward of $1.1M:__

  - Direct theft of funds greater than $1M  
  - Direct permanent freezing of funds greater than $2.5M

__Reward of 100K:__

  - Direct theft of funds less than $1M
  - Direct permanent freezing of less than $2.5M
  - Theft of any funds that requires malicious actions of DeGate operator
  - Permanent freezing of any funds requires malicious actions of DeGate operator

__Repeatable Attack Limitations__

  - If the smart contract where the vulnerability exists can be upgraded or paused, only the initial attacks within the first hour will be considered for a reward. This is because the project can mitigate the risk of further exploitation by upgrading or pausing the component where the vulnerability exists. The reward amount will depend on the severity of the impact and the funds at risk. 

  - For critical repeatable attacks on smart contracts that can not be upgraded or paused, the project will consider the cumulative impact of the repeatable attacks for a reward. This is because the project cannot prevent the attacker from repeatedly exploiting the vulnerability until all funds are drained and/or other irreversible damage is done. Therefore, this warrants a reward equivalent to __10%__ of funds at risk, capped at the maximum critical reward. 

__Reward Calculation for High Level Reports__

  - In the event of temporary freezing, the reward increases at a multiplier of two from the full frozen value for every additional 15 days that the funds are temporarily frozen, up until a max cap of the high reward. This is because as the duration of the freezing lenghents, the potential for greater damage and subsequent reputational harm intensifies. Thus, by increasing the reward proportionally with the frozen duration, the project ensures stronger incentives for bug disclosure of this nature. 

For critical web/apps, bug reports will be rewarded with __USD 100 000__, only if the impact leads to a direct loss of funds without any user action required.

All other impacts that would be classified as Critical would be rewarded within the range based on demonstrated ‘non-funds at risk’ impact, at the discretion of DeGate. The rest of the severity levels are paid out according to the Impact in Scope table. 

__Reward Payment Terms__

The calculation of the net amount rewarded is based on the average price between CoinMarketCap.com and CoinGecko.com at the time the bug report was submitted. No adjustments are made based on liquidity availability.
