🐛 Judging Found Bugs

Definition: We award points to testers who report bugs with the most negative impact on security, functionality, or user experience.

Points by Severity:

🔴 Critical — Breaks core functionality or causes loss of funds → 5 pts
🟠 High — Major feature stops working → 3 pts
🟡 Medium — Feature works but has serious issues → 2 pts
🟢 Low — Minor UI or wording issues → 1 pt


Rules:

  • Only new bugs (not yet reported) are eligible.
  • If multiple testers report the same bug, only the first valid, clearly reproducible report gets points.

🏆 Winners & Rewards

  • Top 3 testers with the highest total points win a Keycard 🪪.
  • Tie-breaker: The tester who reported the highest-impact single bug first (with clear reproduction steps) wins.
  • Shipping note: If we can’t ship a Keycard to your country, you’ll receive its equivalent value in USDC 💰 on Optimism.
  • If winners agree, they will be featured in the Status App community.
