Linea
Linea is a type 2 zero knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM). A zkEVM replicates the Ethereum environment as a rollup and allows developers to build on it as they would on Ethereum mainnet. Linea allows you to deploy any smart contract, use any tool, and develop as if you're building on Ethereum.

Rewards by Threat Level
Rewards are distributed according to the impact the vulnerability could otherwise cause based on the Impacts in Scope table further below.
Repeatable Attack Limitations
In cases of repeatable attacks or attacks stemming from the same root cause, for smart contract bugs, only the first attack will be counted, regardless of whether the smart contract is upgradable, pausable, or killable.
Restrictions on Security Researcher Eligibility
Security researchers need to comply with the following to be eligible for a reward:
- You represent to us that you and your financial institutions, or any party that owns or controls you or your financial institutions, are (1) not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (i.e., the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, the United Kingdom, or other applicable government authority and (2) not located in any country subject to a comprehensive sanctions program implemented by the United States.

Proof of Concept (PoC) Requirements
A PoC is required for the following severity levels:
- Smart Contract - Critical
- Smart Contract - High
- Smart Contract - Medium
- Smart Contract - Low
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 ConsenSys team directly and are denominated in USDC.
Program Overview
Linea is a type 2 zero knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM). A zkEVM replicates the Ethereum environment as a rollup and allows developers to build on it as they would on Ethereum mainnet. Linea allows you to deploy any smart contract, use any tool, and develop as if you're building on Ethereum. For users, this enables the experience and security guarantees of Ethereum, but with lower transaction costs.
Linea is a Consensys product. From the genesis block of Ethereum, Consensys was formed to be the strongest force for decentralization on the planet. We believe that through networks like Ethereum, humankind can achieve more. Our teams will steer the Linea project as we have other public goods, with an eye towards full decentralization and a commitment to open development.

Consensys provides rewards in USDC. For more details about the payment process, please view the Rewards by Threat Level section further below.
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:
- Government ID
KYC information is only required on confirmation of the validity of a bug report.
Responsible Publication
Consensys adheres to category 3. This Policy determines what information whitehats are allowed to make public from their submitted bug reports. For more information about the category selected, please refer to our Responsible Publication page.
Primacy of Impact vs Primacy of Rules
Consensys adheres to the Primacy of Impact for the following severity levels:
- Smart Contract - Critical
- Smart Contract - High
- Smart Contract - Medium
- Smart Contract - 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.
Testnet and mock files are not covered under the Primacy of Impact.
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.
Known Issue Assurance
Consensys commits to providing Known Issue Assurance to bug submissions through their program. This means that Consensys will either disclose known issues publicly or at the very least privately via a self-reported bug submission in order to allow for a more objective and streamlined mediation process to prove that an issue is known. Otherwise, assuming the bug report itself is valid, it would result in the bug report being considered in-scope and due 100% of the reward with respect to the bug bounty program terms.
Immunefi Standard Badge
Consensys 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.
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.
