Aspida is a native liquid staking network which provides security, liquidity and optimized native rewards. It features easy accessibility, allowing users across different layers/networks to earn staking ETH yield.

Direct theft of any user funds, whether at-rest or in-motion, other than unclaimed yield

Permanent freezing of funds

Retrieve sensitive data/files from a running server, such as:   /etc/shadow, database passwords, blockchain keys (this does not include non-sensitive environment variables, open source code, or usernames)

Taking down the application/website

Taking state-modifying authenticated actions (with or without blockchain state interaction) on behalf of other users without any interaction by that user, such as:   Changing registration information, Commenting, Voting, Making trades, Withdrawals, etc.

Subdomain takeover with already-connected wallet interaction

Direct theft of user funds

Malicious interactions with an already-connected wallet, such as:  Modifying transaction arguments or parameters, Substituting contract addresses, Submitting malicious transactions

Theft of unclaimed royalties

Permanent freezing of unclaimed yield

Temporary freezing of funds

Smart contract unable to operate due to lack of token funds

Block stuffing

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the [Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.3. ](https://immunefi.com/immunefi-vulnerability-severity-classification-system-v2-3/)

For critical smart contract bugs, the reward amount is 10% of the funds directly affected up to a maximum of USD 50 000. The calculation of the amount of funds at risk is based on the time and date the bug report is submitted. However, a minimum reward of USD 10 000  is to be rewarded in order to incentivize security researchers against withholding a critical bug report.


__Repeatable Attack Limitations__

If the smart contract where the vulnerability exists can be upgraded or paused, only the initial attacks within the first hour will be considered for a reward. This is because the project can mitigate the risk of further exploitation by upgrading or pausing the component where the vulnerability exists. The reward amount will depend on the severity of the impact and the funds at risk. 

For critical repeatable attacks on smart contracts that cannot be upgraded or paused, the project will consider the cumulative impact of the repeatable attacks for a reward. This is because the project cannot prevent the attacker from repeatedly exploiting the vulnerability until all funds are drained and/or other irreversible damage is done. Therefore, this warrants a reward equivalent to 10% of funds at risk, capped at the maximum critical reward. 

__Reward Calculation for High Level Reports__

High vulnerabilities concerning theft/permanent freezing of unclaimed yield/royalties are considered at the full amount of funds at risk, capped at the maximum high reward. This is to incentivize security researchers to uncover and responsibly disclose vulnerabilities that may have not have significant monetary value today, but could still be damaging to the project if it goes unaddressed.   

In the event of temporary freezing, the reward doubles from the full frozen value for every additional 24h that the funds are temporarily frozen, up until a max cap of the high reward. This is because as the duration of the freezing lenghents, the potential for greater damage and subsequent reputational harm intensifies. Thus, by increasing the reward proportionally with the frozen duration, the project ensures stronger incentives for bug disclosure of this nature.

For critical web/apps bug reports will be rewarded with USD 5 000, only if the impact leads to:

- A loss of funds involving an attack that does not require any user action
- Private key or private key generation leakage leading to unauthorized access to user funds 

All other impacts that would be classified as Critical would be rewarded a flat amount of USD 3 000. The rest of the severity levels are paid out according to the Impact in Scope table.  

__Reward Payment Terms__

Payouts are handled by the Aspida team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payments are done in USDC

The calculation of the net amount rewarded is based on the average price between CoinMarketCap.com and CoinGecko.com at the time the bug report was submitted. No adjustments are made based on liquidity availability.
