Project Overview

Decimal is the native reserve currency of the Decimal blockchain and serves as a foundational component of its ecosystem. Unlike Bitcoin, DEL avoids the need for energy-intensive mining and expensive hardware by utilizing a more sustainable validator-based consensus model. New DEL tokens are issued as rewards to validators who help secure and maintain the network. Any coin holder within the Decimal ecosystem can participate in staking by delegating their assets to validators, earning passive income while supporting the network’s growth.

Rewards by Severity

Program Overview The Decimal Bug Bounty Program reflects the team's ongoing commitment to product security and community collaboration. By inviting developers, ethical hackers, and researchers to report vulnerabilities within the Decimal blockchain ecosystem, the program aims to proactively mitigate risks and maintain a secure and stable environment for all users.

Reward Structure All valid submissions are evaluated under a standardized 4-level severity model, with reward amounts based on the severity of the vulnerability and the scope of the impact. For critical smart contract vulnerabilities, rewards are capped at 10% of the economic damage, with considerations including the amount of funds at risk, as well as potential public relations and branding impact. High-severity vulnerabilities may be rewarded up to 100% of the affected funds, with calculations made based on the blockchain state at the time the report is submitted.

Submission Requirements Bug reports must include a working proof of concept (PoC) along with step-by-step reproduction instructions. Reports must demonstrate a clear, measurable impact on an in-scope component. Submissions lacking code or based only on theoretical analysis will not be accepted for rewards.

Payouts Rewards are denominated and paid in DEL, and will be issued directly by the Decimal team upon successful validation of the report.

In-Scope Vulnerabilities
Only the following impacts are accepted within this bug bounty program. All other impacts are not considered in-scope, even if they affect something in the assets in scope table.
Blockchain/DTL
Critical
Transaction/consensus manipulation
Unauthorized token minting
Major
Unintended chain split (fix not requiring hard fork)
Transient consensus failures
Validator selection set manipulation
Medium
High compute consumption by validator/mining nodes
Vulnerability in RPC API (except via DDoS attack)
Attacks against thin clients
Unhandled on-chain errors affecting a user corner case
Low
Underpricing transaction fees relative to computation time
Griefing (e.g. triggering abnormally high gas fees for everyone or abnormal CPU consumption for validator/mining nodes)
Out-Of-Scope Vulnerabilities
The following vulnerabilities are excluded from the rewards for this bug bounty program:
  • Vulnerabilities that have already been exploited
  • Centralization-related vulnerabilities related to: private keys, privileged addresses, governance, credentials, etc.

Program Rules
  • Please provide detailed reports with reproducible steps. If the report is not detailed enough to reproduce the issue - the issue will not be eligible for a reward.
  • When duplicates occur we only award the first report that was received (provided that it can be fully reproduced).
  • Do not attempt to conduct post-exploitation including modification or destruction of data - and interruption or degradation of services.
  • Do not attempt to target employees or customers including social engineering attacks - phishing attacks or physical attacks.
The following activities are prohibited by this bug bounty program:
  • Any testing with mainnet or public testnet contracts, all testing should be done on private testnets.
  • Automated testing of services that generate significant amounts of traffic.
  • Public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability in an embargoed bounty.
  • Social engineering (e.g. phishing, vishing, smishing) of any kind.
FAQs
How do I search for active bounties?
A: Active bounties can be viewed here [CertiK URL], and by filtering for bounties on the Security Leaderboard. Projects will post bounties along with the assets in the scope of the bounties with a corresponding bounty reward.
How do I submit a bounty?
To submit a bug report, first register an account with us https://www.certik.com/auth/signup. Once your account is created, you can log in and select “Submit Bug” for the specific bounties you're interested in. You will be prompted to fill out a webform; follow the instructions and upon successful submission, you will receive an email confirmation with a reference ID.
Who do I contact if I'm having trouble with my bug report submission?
You can reach out to bugbounty@certik.com for updates and assistance with your bug bounty submission.
I submitted my bug report. What now?
Once your bug report is submitted, CertiK will evaluate the report and contact the respective project. Depending on the criteria stated within a bug bounty, a KYC may be required. With valid bug reports, you will be contacted to begin the process of evaluating the bug with the project.
How is KYC handled?
CertiK has a team of investigative professionals that will handle any needed KYC services for bug bounty submissions requiring KYC.
Why was my bug report submission rejected?
A description of dismissal will be available for any bug bounty that is rejected.
The project is being slow responding to my bug report. What are their required response times / SLAs?
There can be multiple bug bounty submissions therefore there might be some delay in process times.
How do payouts work?
Payments for successful bug bounties will be communicated directly via the project wherein wallet information can be exchanged.
