The Shardeum Bug Bounty Program will be an initiative designed to enhance the security and robustness of the Shardeum blockchain (testnet) by engaging with the community to identify and report potential vulnerabilities (in Q2 of 2024). And this is how it may look in general. As part of our security audit, we will invite developers, security experts, and community members to actively participate in this program and contribute to making Shardeum secure. While exploring the testnet, if you discover any security vulnerabilities or issues, you are expected to document them in detail that include steps to reproduce the issue, potential impact, and any suggestions for mitigation. Our team will review your submission, assess the vulnerability, and respond with the next steps. If your report qualifies for a reward, we’ll provide details on the reward process. Stay tuned to our socials for an official announcement regarding bug bounty.
