Submission and Evaluation Process

The Submission and Evaluation Process is a pivotal component of the PacStark platform, dedicated to upholding the security standards of the StarkNet ecosystem. This process is meticulously structured

Overview

This process is segmented into specific stages, each tailored to maintain the utmost quality and relevance in the identification and reporting of bugs.

Steps for Trackers

1. Bug Discovery:

   • Trackers delve into the StarkNet ecosystem, seeking out potential vulnerabilities in smart contracts and other pertinent areas.

   • The focus is on uncovering significant and previously undetected bugs.

2. Preparation for Submission:

   • Trackers compile a detailed report of their findings, encompassing a thorough description of the bug, its potential impact, and steps for reproduction (if applicable).

   • Clarity, conciseness, and technical accuracy are key in these reports to streamline the evaluation process.

3. Submission:

   • Findings are submitted via PacStark’s specialized submission portal.

   • Submissions are timestamped to uphold fairness and transparency in the evaluation.

4. Initial Review:

   • A preliminary review filters out submissions that don’t meet the essential criteria or are irrelevant to StarkNet.

   • This step ensures that only valid and pertinent bugs proceed to the detailed analysis phase.

Evaluation by Arbiters

1. In-depth Analysis:

   • Arbiters, seasoned in StarkNet security, undertake a comprehensive examination of each submission.

   • This includes verifying the bug’s existence, assessing its severity, and evaluating its potential impact.

2. Scoring and Feedback:

   • Submissions are evaluated against criteria like severity, impact, and originality.

   • Trackers receive constructive feedback, providing insights into their submission’s assessment and guidance for future reports.

3. Communication of Results:

   • Trackers are promptly notified about the outcomes of their submissions.

   • Successful identifications of bugs are followed by details on rewards and subsequent procedures.

4. Documentation and Follow-Up:

   • All evaluated submissions are systematically documented for reference and educational purposes.

   • Confirmed bugs initiate a follow-up process, ensuring they are addressed and rectified by relevant StarkNet stakeholders.

The Submission and Evaluation Process at PacStark is integral to safeguarding the StarkNet ecosystem. It guarantees meticulous attention to each reported bug and acknowledges the vital contributions of Trackers, ensuring they are appropriately recognized and rewarded.
