Bifrost Launches $500,000 Bug Bounty with Immunefi — One Critical Find Could Change Everything  

In DeFi, a single overlooked flaw can trigger millions in losses. Just ask Hydration - they recently paid a $500,000 whitehat bounty to patch a critical exploit that could've drained $22M. The fix came in time. Disaster avoided.

Bifrost knows that security is the invisible backbone of every decentralized protocol — and that whitehats are the unsung heroes guarding it. That's why Bifrost is putting $500,000 on the table for one verified, protocol-level critical vulnerability.

The Target: If you can find a way to illegitimately mint vTokens (vDOT, vMANTA, vBNC, etc.) without staking or collateral, you could walk away with half a million dollars.

Why It Matters: vTokens aren't just numbers on a screen, they're backed by real staked capital, locked and distributed through strict validator and staking mechanisms. An exploit here wouldn't just break code, it could break trust.

Bounty Scope:

Protocol Vulnerabilities (Blockchain/DLT)

| Severity | Reward (Up to) | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | 🟥 Critical | $500,000 | Unauthorized vToken minting (vDOT, vKSM, etc.), chain halt, or permanent fund freeze | | 🟧 High | $25,000 | Chain splits, RPC crashes, mempool abuse | | 🟨 Medium | $10,000 | Node shutdowns, resource exhaustion | | 🟩 Low | $1,000 | Fee miscalculations, partial disruption |

Website / Application Vulnerabilities (Front-end)

| Severity | Reward (Up to) | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | 🟥 Critical | $5,000 | Wallet exploit, unauthorized withdrawals, full server access | | 🟧 High | $2,000 | Subdomain takeover, HTML injection, private info leaks | | 🟨 Medium | $1,000 | Redirects, non-sensitive user manipulation | | 🟩 Low | $500 | Broken links, minor UI abuse |

How to Join the Hunt:

1. Review Bifrost's code
2. Map an exploit path for unbacked vToken inflation
3. Submit a detailed report via Immunefi (steps + impact)
4. If verified - get paid

Rules:

• First valid submission wins
• Must be previously unknown & exploitable
• Findings will be validated by Bifrost & auditors

In Web3,“code is law”… until it's not. Bridges move billions, staking powers ecosystems, and one unchecked vulnerability could unravel it all.

Bifrost is inviting the sharpest minds in the space to test foundations before the wrong person ever does. One critical discovery could be worth $500,000 and the bragging rights of securing the Bifrost protocol for the entire ecosystem.
