Introducing the Metaplex Foundation Bug Bounty Program and Seasonal Bounty Board

March 11, 2022

It’s never been more clear that NFTs are about community and open protocols

Today, we’re introducing not only a seasonal Bounty Board, but also a true Metaplex Foundation Bug Bounty Program for Security Vulnerabilities.
Read on, Anon.

A Bountiful Spring Fling 

We teased these illuminating boards at #HackerHouseSeattle, and now we’re pumped to open them up to our community for a ‘lil Spring fling. Will you be the one to create a five-letter daily word game on-chain? ADA considerations for the metaverse? Maybe even go viral as a Metaplex evangelist. 

How to:

  • Step One: Build.
  • Step Two: Submit Code to bounty@metaplex.com, including contact information and wallet address.
  • Step Three: Enjoy the win, and indulge in extreme bragging rights with a Metaplex twitter call out.

Like so much of Web3, we are learning in public too, so let us know what you want to see built for next season’s board. We can’t wait to see what you spin up. 

Introducing: The Metaplex Foundation Bug Bounty Program

Beyond the seasonal board, we’re proud to support the white-hat work of tireless devs everywhere by launching a true Bug Bounty Program. After recent vulnerabilities were discovered by teams we collaborate closely with, we committed to honoring and compensating developers who choose to build a stronger ecosystem together, rather than tear down the work of our community. 

Being in front of security vulnerabilities is one of our highest priorities at the Metaplex Foundation, so saddle up, and learn more about how to get started, severity guidelines, and bounty pay-outs of up to $200,000.

Giddy-up. 🤠
