Welcome to the latest bug bounty program, designed to bolster the security of the Mina Protocol network. In a collaboration with HackerOne, the premier hacker-powered pentest and bug bounty platform, security researchers and developers are welcomed to join the quest towards a secure and resilient blockchain.
This bug bounty initiative is a key component in the ongoing progress of Testworld Mission 2.0, and it plays a critical role in the continuous enhancements leading up to and following the major upgrade of Mina Protocol. Your contributions are vital to this journey, helping to ensure a robust and secure advancement of the Mina ecosystem.
We’re not just looking for bugs; we’re fostering a community where collaboration, communication, and mutual support thrive.
Here’s what’s exciting and new in this bug bounty program:
Increased Bounties: Higher payouts for valid discoveries
Efficient Reporting: The HackerOne platform has been upgraded for better tracking and management of reported vulnerabilities.
Better Collaboration: We’re committed to fostering open communication, providing robust support, and adhering strictly to policy Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
This iteration of the bug bounty program is currently by invitation only. HackerOne is engaging with a select group of security researchers and developers, including those who have previously contributed to the Mina Protocol. If you have been part of the bug bounty community in the past, please check your HackerOne account for an invitation to participate.
For the broader community, we encourage you to stay tuned for future opportunities to get involved. Your interest and support are fundamental to the strength and success of the Mina Protocol. As we progress, we look forward to expanding the ways in which our community can contribute to and benefit from our security initiatives.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to the Mina ecosystem.
About Mina Protocol
Mina Protocol is being incubated by O(1) Labs, the leader in zk-SNARKs and verifiable computation. Mina Protocol, the world’s lightest blockchain, provides a foundation for the decentralized digital economy (Web 3.0), by affording all participants fully P2P, permissionless access to the chain, from any device. By utilizing recursive zk-SNARKs, the Mina blockchain always stays the same size — about 20 kilobytes (the size of a few tweets). Recursive zk-SNARKs allow nodes to rapidly share and update proof of the correct blockchain state across the network. This breakthrough application of zk-SNARKs solves the issues of scalability and high barrier to entry for nodes that have plagued legacy blockchains to-date. By making it easier for nodes to participate, Mina improves decentralization and therefore security of the network. The Mina blockchain can be easily accessed from any device, including phones and browsers, and can be seamlessly integrated into new decentralized applications (dapps).
