The Bounty and the Blockchain
This summer, crypto enthusiasts with a knack for finding bugs in software can make a pretty penny, or at least a Bitcoin, with the exciting bug bounty program from Status. If you’ve ever wished you could make money while playing detective in the digital realm, now’s your chance. Make your way to the wild world of Ethereum and get ready for some serious bug-hunting fun!
Why Status is Betting on Bugs
Status, the messaging platform and mobile browser for the Ethereum network, isn’t just content with crypto conversations and dApps. They want users to help keep their systems robust by hunting down pesky bugs that could tip the scales of security. The goal? Patch up the remaining issues to secure their network token (SNT) release.
How Much Are We Talking?
The stakes are high, folks! With bounties up to $50,000 for critical vulnerabilities, bug hunters could cash in big time. Here’s how the bounty system breaks down:
- Major Bugs: Up to $25,000
- Critical Vulnerabilities: Up to $50,000
- Minor Issues: Starting at $100
Of course, the high rollers looking for that critical level bounty have to bring their A-game—just think of it as a high-stakes scavenger hunt where the treasure is very real!
Assessing Risk the Smart Way
To ensure that the bounty hunting is effective and fair, Status will employ the OWASP risk assessment methodology. They’ll measure the level of threat to the sale based on various points of concern. It’s like having a tech-savvy referee for this hunting season!
Getting Involved: The How-To
Buzzing to join the hunt? It’s as easy as pie (not crypto pie, mind you). You can find all the rules and guidelines for participation through their official channels. Hunters can submit their findings to security@status.im. And here’s some juicy news—the program continues even after the token launch, so the hunt is far from over!
Remain Anonymous, If You Please
Worried about the limelight? Don’t be! Anonymous submissions are not just accepted but welcomed! So go ahead, channel that inner bug-sniffer without the fear of exposure.
Status is not only compounding interest in their community but actively engaging users in bulking up their security. So, grab your magnifying glass, slip on your detective hat, and dive into the slightly chaotic yet thrilling world of Ethereum bug bounty hunting!
