Yes. Following the success of our first bug bounty held from July 8 to August 14, 2024, Shardeum has launched its second bug bounty program in partnership with Immunefi on September 4. This round of bug bounty, with rewards up to $250K, will run from September 4 to October 2, 2024, and we look forward to continuing this journey with your support. With over 5 million transactions recorded on our ongoing incentivized testnet so far, coupled with valuable bug reports from the community, our engineering team has been working diligently to address identified gaps. Therefore, the objective for bug bounty II is to further secure the network so we are mainnet-ready.
Similar to bug bounty I, bug bounty II offers two tiers of Boosts on Immunefi: Core and Ancillaries. Core Boost II is a successor of Shardeum’s Core Boost I and will cover two components: Shardus Core Protocol and Shardeum Validator Nodes. It offers rewards of up to $150,000 for critical vulnerabilities identified in its blockchain/DLT codebase. This code is largely written in TypeScript, and the boost is ideal for elite white hats specializing in large validator and server-like competitions.
Ancillaries Boost II is a successor of Shardeum’s Ancillaries Boost I and will only cover the Web2 aspects of the project that includes elements of Rust, opening the door to a broader range of security researchers, and those specializing in traditional web applications. This boost offers rewards up to $100,000.
When the Boost has ended, Immunefi will publish an event-specific leaderboard and bug reports from the event. Also, Shardeum team will give a live technical walkthrough, hosted in the Immunefi Discord few days after the launch.
