Cardano Doubles Rewards To Hackers For Detecting Possible Vulnerabilities

Cardano Foundation announced a doubling of rewards for hackers who can detect vulnerabilities in the network. The foundation said the network security vulnerability detecting campaign will run for six weeks from February 14 to March 25, 2022.

Under the Cardano node, the bounty reward has been set at $20,000 for critical bugs with vulnerability labeled high, attracting a reward of $10,000. For medium and low bugs, the prize has been set at $4,000 and $800, respectively. Hackers will earn $15,000 for spotting critical bugs in the Cardano wallet while high vulnerabilities have been allocated $6,000.

Elsewhere, the medium and low bugs have been assigned $2,000 and $600, respectively. To be eligible for rewards, hackers must provide detailed reports with reproducible steps. The vulnerability detection contest adds to Cardano’s growing network that has attracted massive adoption for different use cases. The developments are expected to impact the price of ADA positively.
