Uniswap Labs said it has launched the "largest bug bounty in history."
"We're rewarding up to $15.5 million to anyone that finds a critical vulnerability in v4 core contracts," the firm said in a post to X on Tuesday.
Crypto bug bounty programs invite developers and security researchers to examine a project's code to identify potential breaches or vulnerabilities. Projects will then reward people for their discoveries.
According to The Block Data Dashboard, DeFi attackers had stolen about $3.6 billion since 2020 as of October.
In a blog post Uniswap Labs linked on X, more information was provided on the bug bounty program which is hosted on the Cantina platform.
"The program includes vulnerabilities and bugs in any deployed Uniswap contract and the main branch of the specified undeployed v4-core contracts," according the blog post. "However if you find a bug in a Uniswap smart contract outside of these repositories, where user funds are at risk, the team will consider the issue to be in-scope for our bounty as an Other Uniswap Contract Code."
In 2022, Uniswap blocked crypto addresses because they were connected to stolen funds or transaction-mixing services like Tornado Cash, which the U.S. Treasury had sanctioned.
