Aave proposes a major overhaul of its bug bounty system, aiming to enhance security for its V3 and V4 protocols. Key changes include:
- <b>Increased Bounties:</b> Maximum bounties for critical vulnerabilities in Aave V4 will rise from $500k to $2.5M. The highest reward for critical V3 bugs could jump from $1M to a staggering $5M.
- <b>Third-Party Management:</b> Bug bounty initiatives will be segmented and managed by platforms like Immunefi, Sherlock, and Cantina.
- <b>DAO Financial Responsibility:</b> Aave DAO will take over financial responsibility for Aave V3 on Aptos bug bounty funds, moving it from Aave Labs.
This new multi-platform operational model will be evaluated over the next 6-12 months.
