Uniswap v4 Bug Bounty: The Biggest Security Incentive in DeFi History

Uniswap v4 Bug Bounty: $15.5M Bug Bounty Aims to Secure Next-Gen DeFi Platform

The Uniswap team declared today that it is thrilled to begin the highest bug bounty in history, worth $15.5 million, for vulnerabilities discovered in Uniswap v4 core contracts. The most recent version of the Uniswap Protocol, known as Uniswap v4, turns it into a developer platform that opens up new market structures and additional resources to accommodate a larger user base. Hooks, which are contracts that developers can design to alter the way pools, swaps, fees, and LP positions interact, have made this possible.

Nine Audits and a $15.5M Bug Bounty: Uniswap v4 Sets Security Standard

OpenZeppelin, Spearbit, Certora, Trail of Bits, ABDK, and Pashov Audit Group have conducted nine independent audits of Uniswap v4, making it one of the most fully examined codebases in DeFi. Furthermore, no serious vulnerabilities were discovered during a $2.35 million security competition in which more than 500 experts competed. They are going above and beyond to make sure v4 is as safe as possible with a $15.5 million bug bounty as deployment draws near. Accessible through the Uniswap v4 Github repository, this prize addresses vulnerabilities in Uniswap v4 core contracts.

When submitting, the platform asks that you add as much information as you can, such as how to reproduce the bug and the potential repercussions of exploiting the vulnerability. It is more likely that a vulnerability will be looked into and possibly rewarded if more information is shared.
