The BAM Client extends the Jito-Solana client to interface with external schedulers (BAM Nodes) that run inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) via gRPC, receiving pre-sequenced transaction bundles and executing them in FIFO order with respect to account locks. This design maintains network security while enabling sophisticated transaction ordering strategies.

Network not being able to confirm new transactions (total network shutdown)

Unintended permanent chain split requiring hard fork (network partition requiring hard fork)

Direct loss of funds

Permanent freezing of funds (fix requires hardfork)

Unintended chain split (network partition)

Temporary freezing of network transactions by delaying one block by 500% or more of the average block time of the preceding 24 hours beyond standard difficulty adjustments

Causing network processing nodes to process transactions from the mempool beyond set parameters

RPC API crash affecting programs with greater than or equal to 25% of the market capitalization on top of the respective layer

Increasing network processing node resource consumption by at least 30% without brute force actions, compared to the preceding 24 hours

Shutdown of greater than or equal to 30% of network processing nodes without brute force actions, but does not shut down the network

A bug in the respective layer 0/1/2 network code that results in unintended smart contract behavior with no concrete funds at direct risk

Shutdown of greater than 10% or equal to but less than 30% of network processing nodes without brute force actions, but does not shut down the network

Modification of transaction fees outside of design parameters

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the [Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.3](https://immunefi.com/immunefi-vulnerability-severity-classification-system-v2-3/). 

__Reward Calculation for Critical Level Reports__

For critical Blockchain/DLT bugs, the reward amount is 10% of the funds directly affected, capped at the maximum critical reward $100,000. However, a minimum reward of USD $50,000 is to be rewarded in order to incentivize security researchers against withholding on a bug report.

For critical Blockchain/DLT bugs with a non-funds-at risk impact, the reward will be paid out as follows: 

- Network not being able to confirm new transactions (total network shutdown) - $100,000
- Unintended permanent chain split requiring hard fork (network partition requiring hard fork) - $100,000
- Permanent freezing of funds (fix requires hardfork) - $100,000

For critical Blockchain/DLT bugs, 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. 

__Reward Calculation for High Level Reports__

For high Blockchain/DLT non-funds-at risk impacts, the reward will be paid out as follows: 

- Unintended chain split (network partition) - $50,000
- Temporary freezing of network transactions by delaying one block by 500% or more of the average block time of the preceding 24 hours beyond standard difficulty adjustments - $50,000

Payouts are handled by the Jito Foundation directly and reward amounts are denominated in USD. However, payments are made in JTO on Solana.

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.
