Hunters Guidelines

Welcome to the Audit Hunt community! Your role as a contributor is pivotal in safeguarding the integrity of smart contracts. Below are the detailed guidelines designed to ensure excellence and fairness in our audit processes.

1. Professionalism in Conduct​

  • Respectful Interactions: Engage with project developers and fellow auditors in a courteous and professional manner. Respectful dialogue fosters a collaborative and productive audit environment.
  • Ethical Standards: Uphold the highest ethical standards. This includes honesty in reporting findings, confidentiality where required, and avoiding conflicts of interest.

2. Comprehensive Audits​

  • In-Depth Analysis: Delve deeply into the smart contracts' functionalities. Understand not just the surface operations but also the underlying logic and potential edge cases.
  • Best Practices and Security: Check for adherence to coding best practices and scrutinize for security vulnerabilities. Your goal is to ensure the contract is robust against potential attacks and failures.
  • Interaction with Other Contracts: Evaluate how the contract interacts with other contracts and external systems. This holistic view is crucial for identifying potential vulnerabilities that may not be apparent in isolation.

3. Clarity in Reporting​

  • Detailed Documentation: Clearly document any vulnerabilities or areas for improvement. Describe the issue, its location in the code, and why it's a concern.
  • Implications and Recommendations: Discuss the potential implications of the issue if it remains unresolved. Provide constructive recommendations or fixes.

4. Independent Verification of Vulnerabilities​

  • Avoid Duplication: Independently verify each finding. Duplicate reports on already identified issues do not contribute to the efficiency of the audit process.
  • Validate Findings: Ensure that your reported vulnerabilities are accurate and reproducible. This step is crucial for maintaining the credibility of the audit process.

5. Adherence to Deadlines​

  • Time Management: Be aware of and strictly adhere to the submission deadlines. Efficient time management is key to ensuring your contributions are considered for bounties.
  • Impact of Late Submissions: Understand that submissions beyond the deadline may be excluded from bounty eligibility, which underscores the importance of timely reporting.

6. Commitment to Ongoing Learning​

  • Stay Updated: The blockchain field is rapidly evolving. Stay informed about the latest in security research, tools, and best practices.
  • Continuous Improvement: Regularly update your skills and knowledge. This commitment not only enhances your auditing proficiency but also contributes to the overall strength of the Audit Hunt community.

Your adherence to these guidelines is essential in maintaining the highest standards of quality and fairness in the Audit Hunt platform. Thank you for your commitment and contributions to the community.
