Approved researchers are assigned to tier levels (Challenger, Sentinel, Vanguard), with reporting privileges reserved for the top Vanguard tier.The reporting and payout process proceeds as follows:Report Submission: Vanguard-tier researchers submit WEMIX3.0 vulnerability reports via CertiK Hunt, including a Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstrating the impact of the vulnerability.Triaging by CertiK: CertiK triages the report and verifies that its impact, asset, and severity fall within the scope of the WEMIX3.0 bug bounty program.Review and Confirmation by WEMIX: WEMIX reviews the escalated report and confirms reward eligibility*, severity, and final payout amount.Reward Distribution: WEMIX directly disburses rewards following mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. Researchers can monitor report progress in real-time on CertiK Hunt.Active participation from security researchers remains vital to safeguarding WEMIX3.0 as the ecosystem grows, reinforcing WEMIX's commitment to building a safer and more secure network for all users.
