\u201cIntroducing the largest bug bounty in history. We're rewarding up to $15.5M to anyone that finds a critical vulnerability in v4 core contracts. Find a critical bug, become a millionaire.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

About the Bug bounty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether this is the most extensive bounty program <\/a>in history is still being determined. In 2021, Immunefi, a bug bounty platform, reportedly distributed a $14.82 million bounty as part of its ongoing security initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable bounty payouts include Google's highest-ever vulnerability discovery compensation of $605,000 in 2022, a year in which the company reported $12 million in payouts. Additionally, Microsoft recently disclosed $4 million in AI and cloud bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the available data, if it were to be claimed in a single payout, the $15.5 million bounty from Uniswap would be the largest in recent memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, Uniswap Labs reports that a security competition in which over 500 researchers competed for a prize of $2.35 million for the unreleased v4 did not yield any critical vulnerabilities. The company stated that the $15.5 million program is “an additional measure to guarantee that v4 is as secure as possible.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The utmost payout of $15.5 million is exclusively available to researchers identifying distinctive vulnerabilities in the Uniswap v4 core contracts code that lead to code modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program's details indicate that vulnerabilities classified as “critical” will be eligible for the highest compensation. In contrast, those classified as “high” may be eligible for up to $1 million. The payouts for “medium” risk vulnerabilities are reduced to $100,000, while those for low-risk vulnerability findings will be distributed on a “discretionary” basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the primary contracts code, the program addresses vulnerabilities in “other contracts,” other websites, backends, and Uniswap v4 wallet codes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
