Project Overview

Qubetics Network is a revolutionary Layer-1, EVM-compatible, aggregated multichain blockchain designed to unify leading blockchain networks and redefine decentralized infrastructure. As the world’s first of its kind, Qubetics bridges ecosystems such as Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and Bitcoin—enabling seamless cross-chain interactions. With a focus on scalability, security, and interoperability, Qubetics sets a new standard for dApps, digital payments, and asset tokenization across the decentralized web.

Rewards by Severity

Program Overview The Qubetics Bug Bounty Program is designed to fortify the security of Qubetics’ Layer 1 blockchain, which bridges Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems. By inviting ethical hackers, developers, and security researchers to identify vulnerabilities across its protocol, smart contracts, and applications, Qubetics aims to ensure the resilience of its cross-chain infrastructure and advance the future of interoperable Web3 systems.

Reward Structure Bug submissions are evaluated using a standardized 4-tier severity model, with rewards reflecting the criticality and impact of the vulnerability. For critical smart contract vulnerabilities, rewards are capped at 10% of the economic damage, with funds at risk and reputational considerations assessed at the time of submission. High-severity vulnerabilities may receive up to 100% of the affected funds. The maximum payout for a single report is 5,000 TICS.

Submission Requirements All reports must include a functioning proof of concept (PoC) and reproduction steps that demonstrate how the vulnerability impacts an in-scope asset. Submissions lacking executable code or real-world impact will not be considered for rewards.

Payouts All bug bounty rewards are denominated and paid in TICS, and distributed after successful validation of the submission.

Smart Contract
Qubetics Smart Contract Assets — Includes all EVM and Cosmos-compatible contracts deployed as part of the Chain Abstraction protocol. This covers intent-based execution logic, cross-chain asset transfer contracts, MPC-powered Escrow Vaults, the Liquidity Provider Network (LPN), and the Cross-Chain Wallet Tracking Extension (CWTE). These assets facilitate secure, trustless interactions between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported chains through Qubetics’ unified Layer 1 framework.

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.
