Earn Thousands of Dollars Finding Errors in the Libra Cryptocurrency Facebook
While we are still waiting for a specific release date for Facebook’s upcoming cryptocurrency, Libra , the company is aiming for an early 2020 release. This gives you enough time to find bugs in the currency infrastructure – a project that can reward you handsomely.
For readers who are not yet into cryptocurrency, the idea of testing digital money for errors may sound strange, but it is an important aspect when developing a blockchain-based product like Libra. Unlike deploying updates to an app or service to fix a bug after launch, it is difficult to fix bugs when cryptocurrency goes public, so finding and fixing them early becomes even more important.
To keep Libra working properly from day one, Facebook is offering up to $ 10,000 for each error (based on severity) to users who might find flaws in the Libra infrastructure. Payout options include both digital and real currency – just in case you prefer dollar bills to blockchain.
The Libra Bug Bounty Program is open to the public, and you can access it through the official hub page on Hacker One , which includes full details about the program. You will need a HackerOne account to participate , and your reward is subject to numerous program terms and conditions, which include:
Follow these Terms and rules of disclosure HackerOne.
You are not prohibited by applicable law from receiving any product, program, or service offered by HackerOne or the Libra Association.
Report a Security Bug: That is, identify a vulnerability in Libra that could pose a security risk. (Note that the Libra Association ultimately determines the severity of the problem on its own, and that many software bugs are not security issues.)
Describe in your report the issue related to one of the security issues listed as “in scope” (see section below). Please note that certain types of potential security issues are excluded from this reward program; they are listed in the Out of Scope section (see section below).
Submit your report through the Libra security page . Submit one issue for each report and respond to the report with any updates. Please do not contact Libra Association staff directly or through other channels regarding the message.
Inform your report if you inadvertently breach or breach confidentiality (for example, gain access to personal information, service configurations, or other confidential information) while investigating an issue.
