Get ready to win up to $1000 in ETH Bonds!

As we sprint towards our mainnet launch, the anticipation at Alixa is electric. With one audit successfully completed and two more audits on the brink of completion, our dedication to building a robust & reliable immutable FPOC protocol has never been stronger. But here’s where it gets really interesting; we’re not just relying on the pros. We’re extending an invitation to you, our community, to join this final, crucial phase of development!

This is more than just a bug bounty; it’s a collaborative effort to polish Alixa to perfection before we go live. Let’s break down this unique opportunity and explore how you can contribute to Alixa’s final preparations — all while potentially bagging up to $1000 in ETH Bonds 🚀

Ready to dive in? Let’s explore the details!

💰 The Prizes

The stakes are high in this bug bounty event, with $1000 worth of ETH Bonds up for grabs! If you’re our top bug reporter (most points), you’ll win $300 worth of ETH Bonds!

But don’t worry if you don’t make it to the top — there’s a $700 ETH Bond runner-up prize that any participant can win. It’s a game of chance, and the more points you have, the better your odds. Even the first-place winner can win the runner-up prize 👀

That’s right, you could bag a total of $1000 in ETH Bonds! And remember, these will have a 200% ETHx Max Payout 🤩

  • 🥇 1st Place: The participant with the most points wins $300 worth of ETH Bonds
  • 🥈 Runner-Up: A lucky draw will determine the winner of $700 worth of ETH Bonds. This means even if you have just one point, you still have a shot at the runner-up prize. Naturally, the more points you accumulate, the better your chances of winning!

🎲 Deadlock Resolution: In the event of a tie for the top spot, or if everyone ends up with the same number of points, we’ll combine the prizes. There will be a single $1000 ETH Bond grand prize, with one lucky winner chosen through a random draw.

Note: ETH Bonds will be purchased on your behalf when Alixa launches. Learn more about ETH Bonds & how they work here.

📌 How to Participate

Participating is as easy as 1–2–3! As you navigate through the testnet, keep an eye out for any bugs. Once you’ve found a bug, report it via the Alixa Support Bot. It’s as simple as that!

  • 1️⃣ Find a Bug: Start by visiting the Alixa Testnet. Keep your eyes open for any bugs you might encounter. Remember, no bug is too big or too small — they all count!
  • 2️⃣ Report It: Found a bug? Great! Now, head over to Telegram and report the issue using the Alixa Support Bot.
  • 3️⃣ Verification & Points: After you report a bug, our team will verify your find and check if anyone else beat you to the punch. Once your bug gets the official stamp of approval, you’ll see your name climb the ranks on the Bug Bounty Leaderboard 📈

Points are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. So, don’t hang about! Submit your bugs ASAP ⚡️

🐛 Bug Scoring System

Not all bugs are created equal! Here’s how we’re dishing out points based on the impact of your discoveries:

  • 🔴 High Severity (3 points): The heavy hitters — serious issues that mess with calculations and core functions.
  • 🟡 Medium Severity (2 points): The middleweight contenders — significant problems like button malfunctions or incorrect information display.
  • 🟢 Low Severity (1 point): The pesky little critters — minor issues like typos or tooltip errors.

Here’s a quick example: Let’s say you discover one high-severity bug and one low-severity bug, and both are successfully verified by our team, you’ll earn a total of four points. There’s no cap to the number of points you can accumulate, and you can monitor your progress on the Bug Bounty Leaderboard 📊

Note: Failed transactions and issues related to network congestion or RPC (Remote Procedure Call) errors will not be classified as bugs. For example, if you encounter an error log message like “HTTP request failed. Status: 429” or similar connection-related issues, these are typically due to the Sepolia testnet network and not within our control.

⏰ The Clock is Ticking!

The event wraps up on July 16th, 2024. Keep in mind, points are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis — if you spot something, don’t sit on it!

So, what are you waiting for? The game is afoot! It’s time to channel your inner Benoit Blanc and start uncovering those elusive bugs. Remember, every bug you find isn’t just a point on the scoreboard — it’s your chance to directly impact Alixa’s journey to a flawless launch and a chance at that sweet, sweet ETH Bond prize 🥳
