Cardano Offers Up To $10,000 For Network Vulnerabilities In Bug Bounty

Cardano is getting ready for the release of smart contracts capability on September 12th. To this end, the Cardano Foundation is taking steps to make sure that there are no vulnerabilities in the network ahead of launch. A new partnership will help to facilitate this, while also engaging the broader community to take part in making sure that the beloved ecosystem is as safe as possible. Cardano Foundation, in conjunction with HackerOne, recently released a bug bounty program. This program aims to reward hackers for any vulnerabilities that they may find in the network. Bug bounty programs incentivize hackers to find and report vulnerabilities in a network instead of exploiting them for personal gain. Related Reading | Cardano (ADA) Getting Ready For A $3 Retest?
