Topic: OST Mainnet Bounty: Earn OST For Reporting Security Vulnerabilities (Read 130 times)

OST Mainnet Bounty Challenge #1: Earn 400k+ OST Tokens For Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

We want to ensure our partners can rely on OST blockchain technology to launch their own Branded Token and manage token economies. Therefore, the security of OST technology and all OST-powered crypto assets is a top priority. We are launching our first Mainnet bounty program with more than 400,000 OST available for eligible vulnerability reports.

This bounty challenges any participant to find a security vulnerability that allows him/her to transfer OST that is staked on Ethereum Mainnet to any unintended address. Additional bounties are available for eligible vulnerability submissions with a detailed step-by-step report on how to reproduce the challenge. We will evaluate each reported security issue and will award tokens based on the severity of each verified vulnerability.

We launched the first version of OST KIT on Mainnet — our developer toolkit for staking OST and minting Branded Tokens. You can view the economies here.

We also created an economy “Bounty Coin” on OST KIT Mainnet Alpha 1 and staked 300,000 OST to mint approximately one million Bounty Coin on a utility chain.

Awards

• 300,000 OST — Awarded to the contestant who can manage to transfer tokens from the Simple Stake Contract address to an unintended wallet.
• 100,000 OST — Awarded for reporting the vulnerability (described above) with a detailed description and step-by-step process for reproducing the challenge.
• 10,000+ OST — Awarded to eligible bug and vulnerabilities submissions. There are no limits to the number of rewards and individuals can earn multiple rewards by submitting qualifying bugs and vulnerabilities.
