Compound Finance, a DeFi protocol enhancing money markets, has launched a $1 million bug bounty program on Immunefi in order to enhance the security of its platform and ensure the safety of its users.
As explained in a blog post by Immuenfi, Compound Finance is a decentralized protocol on the Ethereum blockchain that enables users to supply and “borrow crypto-assets while earning or paying algorithmically determined interest rates.”
Immunefi further noted in the update that by creating transparent, permissionless money markets, Compound empowers users to “interact directly with the protocol without intermediaries, unlocking new opportunities for decentralized financial growth.”
Compound III, the latest iteration of the protocol, introduces a streamlined approach to supplying crypto-assets as “collateral for borrowing a base asset, currently USDC.”
Deployed across multiple chains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum, Compound III ensures scalability as well as “efficiency for the evolving DeFi landscape.”
As a supporter of decentralized finance, Compound Finance plays a critical role in “shaping the future of open financial systems.”
Its protocol offers robust and scalable solutions for earning interest, borrowing, and managing assets, all while “maintaining transparency and security.”
With billions in total value locked, Compound is said to be “a cornerstone of the DeFi ecosystem, and ensuring its security is paramount.”
The Compound Finance Bug Bounty Program is now live on Immunefi, inviting security researchers to uncover and “report vulnerabilities within its protocol.”
Rewards are determined based on the severity of findings, with critical smart contract vulnerabilities eligible for “up to $1,000,000 in bounties.”
Reward Structure is as follows:
- Critical vulnerabilities: Up to $1,000,000
- High vulnerabilities: $10,000 — $50,000
- Medium vulnerabilities: $5,000
- Low vulnerabilities: $1,000
All rewards are denominated in USD but “paid in COMP tokens, reinforcing Compound’s commitment to a secure and transparent DeFi ecosystem.”
You may review the scope on the Compound Finance Bug Bounty page on Immunefi.
You may now join them in securing Compound Finance and “contributing to the safety of the DeFi ecosystem.”
Together, they’re building a future where onchain “innovation and security go hand in hand.”
