Summary
VaultCraftDAO should create a QA Bug Bounty program focused on the functionality and usability of the dApp.
Value Proposition
VaultCraft already uses an Immunefi Bug Bounty Program to protect the security of protocol-related smart contracts. However, the UI/UX of app.vaultcraft.io is critical to ensure users have a clear, safe way to interact with said smart contracts. To help secure and improve the user experience, a similarly recurring bug bounty program should be introduced.
This serves five main purposes:
- Assure quality of UI/UX for all users
- Provide community members an opportunity to earn oVCX and VCX
- Recognize engaged community members with a special role / badge on Discord
- Decentralize the responsibility of securing the protocol
- Engages new users to possibly âlearn and earnâ while they test the dApp
Additionally, the bug bounty being paid out in oVCX would allow the bounty hunter to recognize a meaningful financial reward while providing revenue for the protocol.
Budget
The tokenomics outlines 100M VCX to Partner Incentives. This category includes the VaultCraft Partner Program (VPP), VaultCraft Referral Program (VRP), and University Governance Program (UGP).
Upper caps are not defined individually for the VPP and VRP, which drive TVL growth. On the other hand, UGP, which promotes the decentralization of governance, is budgeted 500K VCX.
Therefore, this program which similarly promotes decentralization should be budgeted 500K VCX for bug bounty rewards.
Implementation
- Create a new public channel on the Discord for QA testers
- Used to communicate program updates, submission validation, payment schedule
- Invite anyone to join
- Review bug bounty submissions through Github
- VaultCraft is open source so the repo is already public and open for anyone to submit âIssuesâ
- Pay out valid submissions in oVCX using the âPartner Programâ allocation of DAO treasury VCX to fund the redemption contract
- Add the following page to the docs:
VaultCraft UI/UX QA Bug Bounty Program
Introduction:
Welcome to our UI/UX QA Bug Bounty Program! We believe in the power of community-driven development and are excited to invite skilled individuals to help us enhance the user experience and ensure the security of our decentralized application (dApp). This program encourages participants to explore the application thoroughly, identifying and reporting any UI/UX issues that may affect the overall usability and functionality.
Scope:
The bug bounty program covers the entire functionality of the dApp. Participants are encouraged to scrutinize every aspect of the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) without executing any transactions to avoid incurring gas fees. The focus is on identifying issues that impact the core functionality of the dApp, including but not limited to depositing or withdrawing from Smart Vaults, locking Balancer LP tokens for veVCX, voting with veVCX, claiming and executing oVCX, incorrect or missing data values, connecting a wallet, page navigation, responsiveness, visual design, branding consistency, grammar and text copy, hyperlink accuracy, and overall user satisfaction.
Note that scope of this program is focused on UI/UX of the dApp. For our smart contract testing, please visit our Immunefi Bug Bounty.
Levels of Severity:
We have categorized the severity of identified issues into three levels to determine the reward payouts. Each level corresponds to the impact on the core functionality and the potential risk associated with the identified bug.
- Critical (High Severity):
- Description: Issues that significantly impair the core functionality of the dApp, leading to a severe degradation of the user experience.
- Examples:
- Non-responsive UI failing to prompt a transaction signature
- Critical components not loading
- Severe visual glitches affecting important elements.
- Any bugs hindering the completion of essential tasks.
- Reward: 10000 oVCX
- Major (Medium Severity):
- Description: Issues that have a noticeable impact on the user experience and may hinder the completion of specific tasks.
- Examples:
- Inconsistencies in UI design or branding.
- Navigation issues affecting user flow.
- Data, values, or charts failing to load in a reasonable amount of time.
- Non-critical functional bugs affecting specific features.
- Reward: 5000 oVCX
- Minor (Low Severity):
- Description: Minor issues that do not significantly impact core functionality but may affect the overall polish and professionalism of the dApp.
- Examples:
- Spelling or grammatical errors.
- Incorrect logos or naming of third-parties.
- Cosmetic UI issues with non-essential elements.
- Suggestions for usability improvements.
- Reward: 1000 oVCX
