Zest Protocol V2
Bounty Range
$1,000 - $100,000
external program
Zest Protocol is a Bitcoin lending protocol. Zest Protocol operates on-chain and is open-source. The protocol strives to create a vibrant borrowing and lending ecosystem around BTC the asset.
Zest v2 introduces efficiency groups for granular risk pricing per asset combination, a hub-spoke architecture with market.clar as the central orchestrator, and collateral flexibility letting users choose between isolated (non-rehypothecated) or yield-bearing (rehypothecated) collateral based on their risk preferences.

Zest Protocol V2 provides rewards in USDC on Ethereum, denominated in USD.
Smart Contract - Critical
Smart Contract - High
Mainnet assets: Reward amount is 10% of the funds directly affected up to a maximum of $100,000.
Minimum reward to discourage security researchers from withholding a bug report: $20,000
Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.3.
If the smart contract where the vulnerability exists can be upgraded or paused, only the initial attack will be considered for a reward.
The amount of funds at risk will be calculated with the impact of the first attack being at 100% and then a reduction of 25% from the amount of the first attack for every 720 blocks the attack needs for subsequent attacks from the first attack, rounded down.
High impacts concerning theft/permanent freezing of unclaimed yield/royalties are rewarded within a range of USD 1,000 to USD 20,000 with the reward calculated based on 100% of the funds at risk, though capped at the maximum high reward.
In the event of temporary freezing, the reward doubles from the full frozen value for every additional 24h that the funds are temporarily frozen, up until a max cap of the high reward.
Zest Protocol V2 adheres to the Primacy of Impact for the following impacts:
Primacy of Impact means that the impact is prioritized rather than a specific asset. This encourages security researchers to report on all bugs with an in-scope impact, even if the affected assets are not in scope.
When submitting a report on Immunefi's dashboard, the security researcher should select the Primacy of Impact asset placeholder. If the team behind this project has multiple programs, those other programs are not covered under Primacy of Impact for this program. Instead, check if those other projects have a bug bounty program on Immunefi.
If the project has any testnet and/or mock files, those will not be covered under Primacy of Impact.
Zest Protocol V2 adheres to Category 3: Approval Required. This Policy determines what information researchers are allowed to make public from their submitted bug reports.
Proof of concept is always required for all severities.
No KYC information is required for payout processing.
The project may be receiving reports that are valid (the bug and attack vector are real) and cite assets and impacts that are in scope, but there may be obstacles or barriers to executing the attack in the real world. In other words, there is a question about how feasible the attack really is. Conversely, there may also be mitigation measures that projects can take to prevent the impact of the bug, which are not feasible or would require unconventional action and hence, should not be used as reasons for downgrading a bug's severity.
Immunefi has developed a set of feasibility limitation standards which by default states what security researchers, as well as projects, can or cannot cite when reviewing a bug report.
