Rules

Immunefi has a set of rules that govern users' participation in its bug bounty platform and interaction with Immunefi-run spaces and team. These rules exist in addition to the rules for each bug bounty program, which are listed on each bug bounty program page.

Violation of these rules can result in a temporary suspension or permanent ban from the Immunefi platform at the sole discretion of the Immunefi team, which may also result in the forfeiture of any active bug submissions and zero payout. Please note that Immunefi has no tolerance for spam/low-quality/incomplete bug reports, beg bounty behavior, and misrepresentation of assets and severity.

These rules can be changed at any time.

Prohibited Behavior for Whitehats

  • Any testing with mainnet or public testnet contracts. Testing on mainnet or public testnet is grounds for an immediate and permanent ban

  • Misrepresenting severity: claiming that a bug report is critical when it clearly is not

Scope and Enforcement

The team will take all reasonable actions to ensure the successful execution of Immunefi's mission and the maximum effectiveness of the project.

All material in official project spaces is subject to the rules, and as such, can be deleted, modified, or rejected by the team if it is found to be in violation of the rules. In repeated or severe cases, the team may exclude users from the Immunefi bug bounty platform and/or its project spaces on a temporary or permanent basis.
