The Cardano Foundation, an independent Swiss not-for-profit organization overseeing the advancement of Cardano ($ADA) and its ecosystem, has temporarily doubled the rewards offered in its bug bounty program in an effort to further boost the network’s security.

Potrivit unui update on HackerOne, bug bounty rewards have been doubled for a total of six weeks ending March 25, 2022, with the largest potential bounty being $20,000 for critical vulnerabilities affecting Cardano nodes.

Other vulnerabilities affecting nodes may grant white hath ackers rewards between $10,000 and $800. On the other hand, vulnerabilities affecting Cardano wallets, can offer rewards ranging from $500 to $15,000 for exploits deemed critical.

The Cardano Foundation has detailed that hackers must provide detailed reports with reproducible steps to be eligible for these rewards. In its update, the Foundation wrote that it “looks forward to working with the security community to find security vulnerabilities in order to keep our businesses and customers safe.”

The program, it added, aims to “strengthen the Cardano brand” while covering “essential items to access and manage crypto assets that are issued on the Cardano blockchain.”

După cum a raportat CryptoGlobe, Cardano Foundation launched its bug bounty program for ethical hackers in September of last year with the hacker-powered security firm HackerOne to look for vulnerabilities in the project’s blockchain.

Bug bounty rewards are a popular way for organizations to invite ethical hackers in to work with them and get rewarded for helping make their products and services safer and have been growing in the cryptocurrency space. In 2018, cryptocurrency-related bug bounties netted hackers nearly $900,000. This year alone, a security researcher who fixed a critical vulnerability on Ethereum layer-two scaling solution was awarded a $2 million bounty.

The stakes for Cardano have also been growing along with its network. As reported, the number of addresses holding ADA has kept on rising in January to hit a new 4.53 million all-time high as monthly transactions on the cryptocurrency’s network also kept on growing.

These addresses have now a efectuat peste 30 de milioane de tranzacții, în timp ce numărul de contractele inteligente implementate în rețea au depășit 1,000 pentru prima dată în acest an.

Dezvoltatorul Cardano Input Output a propus creșterea dimensiunii blocului rețelei cu 11% de la 72 KB la 80 KB după ce încărcarea rețelei a crescut peste 90% odată cu lansarea unei platforme DeFi populare SundaeSwap. Sarcina rețelei Cardano a atins un vârf de peste 90% după lansarea SundawSwap în timp ce valoarea totală blocată pe acesta a sărit peste 9,000%.
