Bug bounty campaign

Welcome to our Bug Bounty Program. We want Aave protocol to be the best it can be, so we’re calling on our community to help us find any bugs or vulnerabilities. Submit a bug here and earn a reward of up to USD 250,000$. Please see our Rules & Rewards sect

Rules & Rewards

Rules

Public disclosure of a vulnerability would make it ineligible for a reward.

Submissions needs to be related with the Bounty Scope. Submissions out of the Bounty Scope won’t be eligible for a reward.

Technical knowledge is required for the process.

Any interference with the protocol, client or platform services, on purpose or not during the process will make the submission process unvalid.

Duplicated issues are not eligible for reward. The first submission would be the eligible one.

Terms and conditions of the bug bounty process may vary over time.

If you want to add more information to a provided issue, create a new submission giving reference to the initial one.

Our bug bounty follows a similar approach as Ethereum Bug Bounty. The severity of the issues will be based according to the OWASP risk rating model based on Impact and Likelihood.

Rewards will be decided on a case by case basis and the bug bounty program, terms, and conditions are at the sole discretion of Aave.

It is mandatory to read and follow the responsible disclosure policy available in the references. Submissions not following the disclosure policy will not be elegible for a reward.

Rewards will vary depending on the severity of the issue. Other variables considered for rewards include: the quality of the issue description, the instructions for reproducibility, and the quality of the fix (if included).

Determinations of eligibility, score and all terms related to an award are at the sole and final discretion of Aave.
