Project Overview

The LynkCoDAO Bug Bounty Program is dedicated to ensuring the security, stability, and transparency of our decentralized triple-pegged financial protocol. We welcome security researchers from around the world to participate in the review process, focusing on identifying potential risks that could impact user asset security, protocol stability, or governance fairness.

The LynkCoDAO protocol, with its triple-pegged mechanism at its core, integrates algorithmic stablecoin 3.0, a dual-currency governance model, and a multi-asset reserve to form a unique and resilient DeFi framework. We particularly encourage researchers to review core components such as the algorithmic module, governance contracts, liquidity mechanisms, and cross-chain interactions, and to report any vulnerabilities they discover.

All verified security issues will be promptly addressed, and rewards will be issued based on severity. Our standard response mechanism includes initial feedback within 24 hours and a comprehensive assessment within 72 hours, ensuring that issues are handled quickly, transparently, and fairly.

This program demonstrates our long-term commitment to protocol security and user trust and underscores our ongoing exploration of innovation in algorithmic stablecoins and decentralized governance. By collaborating with the global developer community, LynkCoDAO will jointly build a more robust and open financial ecosystem.

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. Submit one vulnerability per report - unless you need to chain vulnerabilities to provide impact. When duplicates occur we only award the first report that was received (provided that it can be fully reproduced). Multiple vulnerabilities caused by one underlying issue will be awarded one bounty. Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations - destruction of data - and interruption or degradation of our service. Only interact with accounts you own or with explicit permission of the account holder. Do not attempt to conduct post-exploitation including modification or destruction of data - and interruption or degradation of services. Do not attempt to perform brute-force attacks or denial-of-service attacks. 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.
