Program Overview

Router is a cross chain liquidity infrastructure primitive that aims to seamlessly provide bridging infra between various current and emerging layer-1 and layer-2 blockchain solutions, such as Matic and Ethereum.

This is achieved with Router's Cross-Chain Liquidity Protocol, (XCLP) acts as a bridging infrastructure between these blockchain solutions to allow contract-level data flow across them, thus enabling asset-level data transfer with stablecoins being the medium of value transfer. Aside from connecting blockchains and enabling a free flow of information, Router will also make smart order-routing possible, enabling users to swap their assets from different networks seamlessly.

For more information about Router, please visit https://routerprotocol.com/.

The bug bounty program covers its smart contracts and app and is focused on preventing the following impacts:

  • Thefts and freezing of principal of any amount
  • Thefts and freezing of unclaimed yield of any amount
  • Theft of governance funds
  • Governance activity disruption
  • Product App goes down
  • Access to sensitive pages without authorization
  • Economic Attacks of any kind

Rewards by Threat Level

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System. This is a simplified 5-level scale, with separate scales for websites/apps and smart contracts/blockchains, encompassing everything from consequence of exploitation to privilege required to likelihood of a successful exploit.

All bug reports must come with a PoC in order to be accepted. Additionally, all bug reports that are Medium or higher are required to include a suggestion for a fix in order to be considered for a reward.

Critical smart contract vulnerabilities are capped at 10% of economic damage, primarily taking into account the funds at risk. Other considerations such as PR and branding concerns may also be considered by the team at its discretion. However, the minimum reward amount is USD 25 000.

Payouts are handled by the Router team directly and are denominated in USD. Payouts are done in ETH, USDT, or ROUTE, at the discretion of the team. All payouts above USD 25 000 are only completed in ROUTE.

Assets in Scope

Only web/app vulnerabilities that directly affect the web/app assets listed in this table are accepted within the bug bounty program. All others are out-of-scope.

Impacts in Scope

Only the following impacts are accepted within this bug bounty program. All other impacts are not considered as in-scope, even if they affect something in the assets in scope table.

Smart Contracts

  • Loss of governance funds
  • Theft of unclaimed yield
  • Freezing of unclaimed yield
  • Temporary freezing of funds for at least 30 minutes (any lower is out of scope)
  • Unable to call smart contract
  • Smart contract gas drainage
  • Smart contract fails to deliver promised returns
  • Loss of user funds staked (principal) by freezing or theft
  • Stealing funds from Bridge contract
  • Attacking bridge to get user deposits
  • Preventing users from withdrawing liquidity

Web/App

Only impacts resulting in direct economic damage are accepted in this bug bounty program.

Out of Scope & Rules

The following vulnerabilities are excluded from the rewards for this bug bounty program:

  • Attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
  • Attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
  • Attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (governance, strategist)

Smart Contracts and Blockchain

  • Server-side information disclosure such as IPs, server names, and most stack traces
  • Vulnerabilities used to enumerate or confirm the existence of users or tenants
  • Vulnerabilities requiring unlikely user actions
  • URL Redirects (unless combined with another vulnerability to produce a more severe vulnerability)
