Wildcat Protocol
The Wildcat Protocol is a hands-off credit facilitation protocol that enables the deployment of markets by pre-authorised (KYC’d through protocol) borrowers. Market parameters are arbitrarily parameterisable subject to these parameters falling within the bounds of controllers registered with the protocol registry. Borrowers must - at present - select their own lender lists explicitly.

Rewards by Threat Level
Mainnet assets:
Reward amount is 10% of the funds directly affected up to a maximum of:
$10,000Minimum reward to discourage security researchers from withholding a bug report:
$7,500Rewards are distributed according to the impact the vulnerability could otherwise cause based on the Impacts in Scope table further below.
Previous Audits
Wildcat Protocol has provided these completed audit review reports for reference. Any unfixed vulnerability mentioned in these reports are not eligible for a reward.

Therefore, Immunefi has developed a set of feasibility limitation standards which by default states what a Projects should or should not cite when downgrading a bug report’s impact, severity, and/or payout amount. These standards are continuously being developed and updated with help of the community and encompasses fair guidelines where the project clearly commits, and the security researcher can be assured that the project cannot arbitrarily downgrade the program based on theoretical counter measures, such as a chain rollback.
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 Wildcat Protocol team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payments are done in USDC.
Program Overview
The Wildcat Protocol is a hands-off credit facilitation protocol that enables the deployment of markets by pre-authorised (KYC’d through protocol) borrowers. Market parameters are arbitrarily parameterisable subject to these parameters falling within the bounds of controllers registered with the protocol registry. Borrowers must - at present - select their own lender lists explicitly. Participants in markets can optionally choose to sign a master loan agreement that dictates their behaviour. Wildcat markets make use of novel implementations of withdrawals, collateralisation and penalties for failure to maintain adequate reserves. Rebasing ‘market tokens’ are issued in exchange for deposits, inflating according to the active interest rate to ensure 1:1 parity for claiming underlying assets.

Wildcat Protocol 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:
- Full name
- Address
- Passport
KYC information is only required on confirmation of the validity of a bug report.
Reward Calculation for Critical Level Reports
For critical smart contract bugs, the reward amount is 10% of the funds directly affected up to a maximum of USD 10 000. The calculation of the amount of funds at risk is based on the time and date the bug report is submitted. However, a minimum reward of USD 7 500 is to be rewarded in order to incentivize security researchers against withholding a critical bug report.
Primacy of Impact vs Primacy of Rules
Wildcat Protocol 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.
Immunefi Standard Badge
Wildcat Protocol has satisfied the requirements for the Immunefi Standard Badge, which is given to projects that adhere to our best practices.
Invoicing Information
If needed by the security researcher, Wildcat Protocol is able to provide the necessary information for the proper issuance of an invoice. This includes:
- Company name and address
- Registered company number (British Virgin Islands)
KYC required
The submission of KYC information is a requirement for payout processing.
Proof of Concept
Proof of concept is always required for all severities.
Responsible Publication
Category 2: Notice Required
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.
