Re-Launching the Mina Ecosystem Bug Bounty Program

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.

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 is the world’s lightest blockchain, powered by participants. Rather than apply brute computing force, Mina uses advanced cryptography and recursive zk-SNARKs to design an entire blockchain that is about 22kb, the size of a couple of tweets. It is the first layer-1 to enable efficient implementation and easy programmability of zero knowledge smart contracts (zkApps). With its unique privacy features and ability to connect to any website, Mina is building a private gateway between the real world and crypto—and the secure, democratic future we all deserve.
