Program Overview

Livepeer is a decentralized video streaming network built on the Ethereum blockchain. Through the power of open source software, the harnessing of underutilized resources like compute and bandwidth, and the use of cryptoeconomic incentives for bootstrapping and participation, there is an opportunity to deliver an infrastructure that can power video streaming applications at a highly efficient price, and infinite scale.

This program covers all non smart contract scopes. For the smart contract bounty program, please refer to https://immunefi.com/bounty/livepeer/.

Important Legal Information

The bug bounty program is an experimental and discretionary rewards program for the active Livepeer community to encourage and reward those who are helping to improve the Livepeer product. You should know that we can cancel the program at any time, and awards are at the sole discretion of Livepeer. In addition, we are not able to issue awards to individuals who are on sanctions lists or who are in countries on sanctions lists. You are responsible for all taxes. All awards are subject to applicable law. Finally, your testing must not violate any law or compromise any data that is not yours.

We will do our best to respond to your submission as quickly as possible, keep you updated on the fix, and award a bounty where appropriate.

How to report a bug:

Please report your submissions to security@livepeer.org

Public disclosure of the bug or indication of an intention to exploit it will make the report ineligible for a bounty.

Submitting anonymously or with a pseudonym is OK, but will make you ineligible for BTC/Eth rewards. To be eligible for BTC/Eth rewards, we require your real name and a proof of your identity. Donating your bounty to a charity doesn’t require your identity.
