pStake on Cosmos
Liquid staking ATOM on pSTAKE generates high yields by auto-compounding ATOM staking rewards while enabling you to easily use your staked ATOM in Cosmos DeFi.
PoC required
Rewards by Threat Level
Please review how rewards are distributed based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.2. This is a simplified 5-level scale system with separate scales for Blockchain/DLTs, Smart Contracts and Websites/Apps.
Payouts and Payout Requirements:
Payouts are handled by the pSTAKE on Cosmos team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in USDC or USDT. pSTAKE on Cosmos commits to honoring payouts according to the terms set out in this program at the time of report submission, and to treat this program as the agreement and source of truth concerning bug reports and responsible disclosures.
For the purposes of determining report validity, this is a Primacy of Impact program.
Learn more about report validity best practices here: Best Practice - Primacy of Impact vs Primacy of Rules.
Rewards for critical blockchain/DLT and smart contract vulnerabilities are further capped at 10% of the funds at risk. In cases of repeatable attacks, only the first attack is considered unless the smart contract cannot be upgraded or paused. However, there is a minimum reward of USD 10 000.
pSTAKE on Cosmos does not have a Know Your Customer (KYC) requirement for bug bounty payouts.
Audit Discoveries and Known Issues:
Bug reports covering previously-discovered bugs are not eligible for any reward through the bug bounty program. If a bug report covers a known issue, it may be rejected together with proof of the issue being known before escalation of the bug report via Immunefi.
Previous audits and known issues can be found at: https://github.com/persistenceOne/pStake-auditReports/tree/main/stkATOM.

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.
