• Erigon
• Go Ethereum
• Lodestar
• Nethermind
• Lighthouse
• Prysm
• Teku
• Besu
• Nimbus

Along with consumer software program, the Bug Bounty Program additionally covers the Deposit Contract, Execution Layer & Consensus Layer Specs and Solidity. 🙏

Repository & vulnerability record

Because the final vulnerability disclosure has been fairly eventful with occasions such because the Merge 🐼 and the max bounty reward improve to $250,000. 💰

The very best paid reward throughout this era was $50,000.

Your immense efforts have been instrumental to making sure Ethereum’s safety. Thanks!
