Rewarding Contributions to the Basilisk Protocol​

Basilisk welcomes various contributions which are in the interest of the Protocol. Such activities are incentivized with the help of rewards from the Basilisk Treasury.

The present document sets out the general framework for rewarding community contributions. The framework will be subjected to a general vote in an upcoming referendum at which BSX hodlers will give their formal approval (or disapproval). This approval will legitimize all payouts in the mentioned categories and make their processing faster.

Please note in advance that the payout of all bounties and tips mentioned in this document is subject to the full discretion of the Basilisk Council. If you are in doubt whether your effort entitles you to a bounty, please reach out in advance. You can ask questions in #bounties of Basilisk Discord.

Bug Bounties​

Basilisk runs a Bug Bounty program on ImmuneFi. Bugs and vulnerabilities are classified into three to four categories of severity which determine the maximum size of the bounty:

Blockchain:​

Critical: $20,000 to $222,222
High: $5,000 to $20,000
Medium: $5,000
Low: $1,000

Websites & Apps​

Critical: $5000 to $20,000
High: $5,000
Medium: $1,000

Notes​

  • In order to be granted a bounty, bug reports must be made in accordance with the procedure for responsible disclosure and any other guideline posted on the Basilisk Immunifi page.
  • Bounties for critical Blockchain vulnerabilities are capped at 10% of the potential economic damage.
  • The actual size of the rewarded bounties is the discretion of the team.
  • Bounties are paid by the treasury in BSX using the 7d MA USD price from Kraken.

Development Bounties​

The Basilisk team will be launching a dashboard with development bounties in an effort to decentralize technical work on the protocol. The dashboard will present the latest bounties together with a description, technical specification and size of the bounty.

The present framework authorizes the Basilisk Council to approve development bounties of up to $22,222 which will be paid by the Treasury in BSX using the 7d MA USD price from Kraken. Bounties exceeding this amount still need to undergo the governance process.
