2. 02KYC verification is required before bounty payout. Researchers must complete identity verification to receive rewards.
3. 03This program follows Primacy of Impact — valid findings are rewarded based on demonstrated impact regardless of whether the specific attack vector was previously known.
4. 04Only previously unreported vulnerabilities are eligible. Duplicate submissions will be closed.
5. 05Vulnerabilities must be reported through the WhiteClaws platform. Public disclosure before resolution disqualifies the submission.
