In the blockchain world, security is more than a feature — it’s the foundation of trust. With decentralized platforms like Cyberfly managing real-world assets and interactions, any vulnerability can result in catastrophic losses. As we prepare for our mainnet launch, we’re introducing a Bug Bounty Program with a reward of 50,000 CFLY tokens for finding verified vulnerabilities in our Pact smart contract.

Why Security Testing Before Mainnet Is Critical

1. Blockchain Transactions Are Immutable

On the blockchain, there’s no undo button. Once a transaction is confirmed, it’s final. A single bug in a smart contract can drain funds or lock assets, making pre-launch testing indispensable.

2. Mainnet = Real Stakes

Unlike testnets, the mainnet deals with real users and real assets. A security flaw on the mainnet can lead to significant financial and reputational losses, undermining the platform’s trustworthiness.

3. Open and Public Code

Your blockchain code is exposed for public scrutiny. A robust security testing phase ensures that your contracts are resilient against potential exploits, even under intense scrutiny.

The Cyberfly Bug Bounty Program

To ensure the robustness of our Cyberfly Node Pact Smart Contract, we’ve launched a bug bounty program offering 50,000 CFLY tokens for verified vulnerabilities.

Key Objectives

  1. Encourage Ethical Hacking: Incentivizing developers and ethical hackers to uncover and report vulnerabilities.
  2. Leverage Collective Expertise: Engaging a diverse range of testers to explore potential edge cases and threats.
  3. Reinforce Community Trust: Transparency in testing strengthens confidence in the Cyberfly platform.

Scope of the Bug Bounty Program

The program focuses on critical vulnerabilities that could compromise the security and functionality of the Cyberfly node.

  • Scope:
  • Unauthorized access of contract funds.
  • Out of Scope:
  • Front-running the node peerID registration. (we have another solution for this by monitoring node)

How You Can Contribute

We invite you to participate in our efforts to secure Cyberfly:

  • Analyze and test the Cyberfly Node Pact Smart Contract on the testnet.
  • Identify and report vulnerabilities.
  • Earn up to 50,000 CFLY tokens for each verified vulnerability.

Contract is here — https://tools.kadena.io/modules/explorer?module=free.cyberfly_node&chain=1&network=testnet04

Eligibility:

  1. POC should be provided with the report.
  2. Report Should be in english
  3. Exploit, drain funds and sent your transaction id along with your report

Conclusion

Security is not optional — it’s essential. With our Bug Bounty Program, we’re taking proactive steps to ensure a secure and reliable platform for our community.

By participating, you’re not just earning tokens — you’re playing a crucial role in building a secure, decentralized future.
