Horizon Protocol V2 — Hacken Bug Bounty Program Now Live On Testnet

We are excited to announce the launch of our bug bounty program for Horizon Protocol V2 on testnet (including the new Horizon Futures), hosted on HackenProof. Horizon Protocol is dedicated to further enhancing the security of the protocol. Building upon the existing measures, we are continuously working to strengthen our platform. As we progress in fortifying our platform, we invite you to contribute your expertise in ensuring the security and resilience of our systems.

Bug Bounty Program:

To enhance the security of our protocol, we are seeking your assistance in identifying vulnerabilities. Our bug bounty program is particularly interested in issues related to incorrect smart contract behavior resulting in unintended functionality. Examples can be found in the “Focus Area” section. Your contributions will play a pivotal role in creating a robust and secure environment for our users.

Range of Rewards:

Engage in our bug bounty program, and you could earn rewards based on the severity and impact of the reported vulnerabilities:

• Critical: $10,000 — $20,000
• High: $5,000

Focus Areas:

Target: https://github.com/Horizon-Protocol/Horizon-Smart-Contract/tree/testnet-contracts
