Bug Bounty
Program Overview
This bug bounty is specifically for Drift's smart contract code; client / UI only bugs are omitted.
Drift's smart contract is open-source (opens in a new tab).
| Severity | Description | Bug Bounty |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Bugs that freeze user funds or drain the contract's holdings or involve the theft of funds without user signatures. | 10% of the value of the hack up to $500,000. |
| High | Bugs that could temporarily freeze user funds or incorrectly assign value to user funds. | $10,000 to $50,000 per bug, assessed on a case-by-case basis |
| Medium/Low | Bugs that don't threaten user funds | $1,000 to $5,000 per bug, assessed on a case-by-case basis |
The severity guidelines are based on Immunefi's classification system (opens in a new tab).
Note that these are simply guidelines for the severity of the bugs. Each bug bounty submission will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Submission
Please email hello@drift.trade with a detailed description of the attack vector. For critical and moderate bugs, we require a proof of concept done on a privately deployed mainnet contract. We will reach back out in 1 business day with additional questions or the next steps on the bug bounty.
Bug Bounty Payment
Bug bounties will be paid in USDC. Alternative payment methods can be used on a case-by-case basis.
