In an ever-expanding blockchain ecosystem, the need for robust security measures is paramount. Acknowledging this, Sei Labs, in collaboration with Immunefi, has launched a comprehensive bug bounty program. This initiative, designed for security researchers, developers, and white hat hackers, aims to identify and address potential vulnerabilities within the Sei ecosystem.
Why a Bug Bounty Program?
As the Sei ecosystem grows, the likelihood of bugs and vulnerabilities arises. Recognizing the importance of security, the Sei Foundation has partnered with Immunefi, a leading bug bounty and security services platform for Web3, safeguarding over $60 billion in user funds. This bug bounty program incentivizes white hat hackers to proactively report issues, fostering a secure and stable platform while promoting responsible disclosure.
Bug Bounty Program Focus Areas
The bug bounty program primarily targets specific theoretical cases to preemptively identify vulnerabilities. The program spans two major categories: Blockchain/DLT and Websites/Applications. Within these categories, various impacts are considered acceptable, ranging from issues affecting the blockchain network to potential threats to websites and applications.
Blockchain/DLT Impacts:
Network confirmation issues
Unintended chain splits
Direct and permanent loss of funds
Freezing of funds (temporary or permanent)
Network node disruptions
RPC API crashes
Smart contract behavior deviations
Modification of transaction fees
Websites and Applications Impacts:
Execution of arbitrary system commands
Retrieval of sensitive data/files
Taking down applications/websites
Unauthorized state-modifying actions
Theft of user funds or NFTs
Injection of malicious code or XSS
Unauthorized user information disclosure
Subdomain takeovers
Manipulation of content
Redirecting users to malicious websites
Bounty Rewards
The bug bounty program offers rewards ranging from $1,000 to a maximum of $2,000,000, depending on the severity and threat level of the identified vulnerabilities. The bounty rewards are categorized from low to critical degrees, reflecting the potential impact on the Sei ecosystem.
