  • Critical: up to $250,000

Join The Bounty Hunt

There are 3 targets to scope:

  • Blockchain/DLT
  • Smart Contract
  • Web & Mobile

Make sure your reports contain info about these incidents:

  • Invalid state transition accepted as valid / consensus safety failure
  • Bitcoin-anchoring verification failure
  • Batch Proof break / bypass
  • Light Client Proof split / inconsistent verification
  • Reorg-handling bug (Bitcoin-side or Citrea-side) causing prolonged halt, inconsistent views, or unsafe rollback behavior
  • Direct theft of user funds (including BTC/cBTC) via deposit/withdraw/verification bugs
  • Direct loss of user funds (at-rest or in-motion)
  • Permanent freezing of funds (including bridged funds/assets/messages) due to logic bugs (fixable by upgrade or not)
  • Temporary freezing of funds
  • Protocol insolvency
  • Total network shutdown / critical components unable to operate (system smart contracts, sequencer, full nodes)
  • Role-based access control / pausing logic vulnerabilities
  • Unbounded gas/resource consumption causing severe degradation or halting of critical components (even without theft)
  • Theft of gas
  • Block stuffing for profit / griefing
  • Large-scale griefing disrupting deposits/withdrawals (with no theft other than by the Aggregator)
  • Bugs in layer 0/1/2 network code resulting in unintended smart contract behavior without direct funds at risk
  • Clementine CLI bugs causing wallet loss, incorrect deposit address generation, or withdrawal losses
  • Clementine presigning bugs causing operator reimbursement failures
  • Clementine Tx Sender failures
  • Retrieve sensitive data/files from a running server
  • Taking down the application/website
  • Taking state-modifying authenticated actions on behalf of other users without their interaction
  • Wallet-drain class UI compromise / malicious interactions with an already-connected wallet
  • Injecting or modifying static content on the target application (persistent)
  • Misrepresentation of transaction data in official explorer/bridge views leading to loss-inducing actions
  • Subdomain takeover without already-connected wallet interaction
  • Open redirect
  • Minor correctness issues with no meaningful economic/security impact (non-impactful correctness issues)
