Overview
PacStark’s reward system is not just about financial incentives; it's about recognizing the skill, effort, and importance of the contributions made by the security researchers.
Reward Criteria
Severity of the Bug:
Rewards are scaled based on the severity and potential impact of the bug. Higher severity leads to higher rewards.
Severity is categorized into levels such as critical, high, medium, and low, with each category having a predefined reward range.
Quality of the Submission:
Detailed and well-documented submissions that provide clear reproduction steps, impact analysis, and potential fixes are rewarded more generously.
This encourages thorough and professional reporting.
Originality and Uniqueness:
Unique findings that demonstrate deep understanding and innovative approaches to security are highly valued.
The first reporter of a unique bug receives a higher reward, promoting timely and original research.
Distribution Process
Evaluation and Approval:
Once a submission is evaluated and approved by the Arbiters, the reward amount is determined based on the established criteria.
The decision of the Arbiters is final and is communicated to the Tracker along with the rationale for the reward amount.
Reward Pool:
PacStark maintains a dynamic reward pool, funded by Patrons and other stakeholders in the StarkNet ecosystem.
The pool is managed transparently, with regular updates on its status and fund allocations.
Payment Process:
Rewards are distributed in cryptocurrencies, aligning with the digital nature of the blockchain ecosystem.
Payment is processed promptly after the approval of the submission, ensuring timely recognition of the Tracker’s efforts.
Recognition and Feedback:
Apart from monetary rewards, successful Trackers receive recognition in the PacStark community, enhancing their reputation and credibility.
Constructive feedback is provided for all submissions, contributing to the continuous learning and development of the Trackers.
