Do you run bug bounties as well as security contests?
Yes, a pre-launch bug bounty. It runs live and public in the final stage of The Bridge, alongside formal verification, and DualGuard covers every payout.
Pre-launch, not post-launch
The bounty runs before you go to mainnet, in the final stage of The Bridge, in parallel with formal verification. A bounty that opens after launch pays for issues found while real funds are already exposed. This one runs while there is still time to fix what it surfaces.
DualGuard covers every payout
Payouts on the pre-launch bounty are covered by DualGuard, so the bounty does not become an open-ended line item in your budget at the point where you are trying to ship.
How it relates to the contest
A contest is a fixed window with a wide network competing on the same scope at the same time. A bounty is continuous: it stays open, and it catches what a fixed window did not. The two answer different questions, which is why the programs run them in sequence rather than choosing between them.
When a bug bounty runs together with a contest, the platform fee is 25% of the total budget rather than 20%.
