Bug Bounty

Our awesome friends over at Immunefi.com are the best place to see a quick breakdown of mStable's bug bounty. Check it out here.
An ongoing bug bounty for the smart contracts of the mStable protocol is now live. mStable intends for hackers to look for smart contract vulnerabilities in our system that can lead to loss of collateral, unfair payouts or locked components. mStable must be as resilient as possible. Please submit a bug and earn a reward of up to US$25,000 **(or more in extreme circumstances).**
Submissions **must adhere to the bug bounty rules.****
Found a bug? Follow the responsible disclosure guidelines to submit to mStable
Rewards
Rewards will be awarded at the sole discretion of the mStableDAO. The quality of the report and reproduction instructions can impact the reward. Rewards are denominated mUSD and will be paid out in mUSD.
The bug bounty program is ongoing and has been running since June 05th, 2020.
NB: Payout amounts increased (max 25k) as of July 14th, 2020.
