a one day celebration of human thriving, coordination, regenerative economics and decentralised sciences

Gitcoin

<h3>mission</h3><p><p>We’re on a mission to build an open-source, collaborative, and economically empowering internet. We are creating community and infrastructure for Web 3 — a diverse range of tools, technologies, and networks that enable people to work for the open internet.</p></p> <h3>current challenges</h3><p><p>The future of Gitcoin should continue our path towards more scale &amp; more decentralization. The world needs public goods now more than ever. We hear this from our community each and every day.</p></p> <h3>culture & values</h3><p><ul><li>Open Internet</li></ul><p>We represent the spirit of the open web, with P2P communities building open source code, sharing open data, and adopting open governance.</p><ul><li>Open Source</li></ul><p>The world runs on open source protocols. On Gitcoin, open source builders earn while working in a culture of collaboration.</p><ul><li>Open Economies</li></ul><p>Build open Web3 technologies that support the goals of financial freedom, shared ownership, and collaborative determination.</p></p> <h3>history</h3><p><p>Open source has been the vanguard of technological advancement, creating over $500 billion in yearly economic output. However, there is a vast disparity between the monetary value that open source provides and developers' income. With the mission to close this gap, Gitcoin was founded by Kevin Owocki, Scott Moore, and Vivek Singh in November 2017 and joined Consensys as one of the portfolio projects.&nbsp;</p><p>In 2018, we launched Gitcoin Hackathons and Gitcoin Grants Round 1 with a $25k matching pool 8. The next several years were a tooth &amp; nail fight for growth &amp; budget. In January 2021, we were able to raise $11m from one of the top funds in the space and spin out of Consensys to become an independent company Gitcoin Holdings.&nbsp;</p><p>May 25, 2021, was a day that would change Gitcoin forever. It was the day that we retroactively airdropped GTC to the community and launched GitcoinDAO. We launched new tools like decentralized Grants Alpha and the Steward Report Cards.&nbsp;</p><p>Since its launch 11 in November 2017, Gitcoin has helped 59,956 funders reach an audience of 262,688 earners. Gitcoin has facilitated 1,572,067 complete transactions to 9,700 unique earners. GitcoinDAO is still evolving &amp; emerging.&nbsp;</p></p> <h3>core team</h3><p><p>Kevin Owocki - CEO &amp; Chief Roboticist</p><p>Scott Moore - Co-Founder &amp; Developer Relations Lead</p><p>Kyle Weiss - Chief Operating Officer</p><p>Joe Hernandez - Senior Business Operations Manager&nbsp;</p><p>Austin Griffith - Director of Research</p><p>Annika Lewis - Grants Program Lead</p></p> <h3>benefits</h3><p><p>Gitcoin is a community of over 300k active developers and builders. We’ve helped thousands of projects and teams grow open-source ecosystems with over $70M in funding. We believe in financial freedom, global coordination, and a brighter collective future for the open web.

find vulnerabilities in the Gitcoin Passport and get rewards

<h3>overview</h3><p><p>The Gitcoin Passport is an identity verification application. We have written software enabling people to grow personal ledgers of verifiable credentials about themselves and organizations to assess their identities to coordinate rights and responsibilities. The institutions define, verify, and utilize identity as functions of the networked records of the individuals. While we build the Passport agnostic to specific applications, we are actively exploring its benefits for personhood proofs and plurality in organizational designs.</p><p>Many social organizations, online particularly, have difficulty ensuring that every participant is a unique human and does not have multiple participating accounts. Most existing digital identity solutions are either centralized (e.g., national identity cards) or individualistic (e.g., most “self-sovereign” identity models). However, identity is naturally intersectional and social; everybody shares different data and relationships with a unique set of others. The Gitcoin Passport aims to provide a more collaborative and secure infrastructure for digital identity by capturing the richness of our diversely shared lives.</p><p>The integrity of our identity verification application is one of our highest priorities. Therefore, our bug bounty program for the Gitcoin Passport rewards up to $600 (paid in DAI).</p><p>We guide decisions on the eligibility and size of a reward by the rules above. Nevertheless, any determination is at the sole discretion of Gitcoin.</p><ul><li>Critical: $600</li><li>High: $225</li><li>Medium: $125</li><li>Low: $30</li></ul></p> <h3>problem to solve</h3><p><p>What we want you to investigate - <a href="https://github.com/gitcoinco/dPopp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">all code in the repository</a> is eligible for the bounty.</p><p>The Gitcoin product ecosystem, in general, is not part of this bug bounty program.</p><p>We, of course, want to know every vulnerability, but what vulnerabilities to look for: in particular:</p><ul><li>Safety bugs</li><li>Denial of service vectors</li><li>Inconsistencies in assumptions, like situations where somebody could create fake credentials</li><li>Calculation or parameter inconsistencies</li><li>Data leaks that might make an individual passport personally identifiable</li></ul></p> <h3>project judging</h3><p><p>We follow many of the bug bounty rules that the Ethereum Foundation does:</p><ul><li>Decisions on the eligibility and size of a reward are the sole discretion of Gitcoin.</li><li>Any disclosure of a vulnerability to the public or other third parties (such as the media) before Gitcoin makes it public will disqualify the bounty.</li></ul><p>You must privately submit issues to securitybounty@gitcoin.co.</p><ul><li>Issues must be new to the team. Another builder or an audit can’t have already identified them.</li><li>No employees, contractors, or others with current or prior commercial relationships with Gitcoin are eligible for rewards - this includes auditors used by Gitcoin.</li><li>Provide the steps required to demonstrate an issue. If we cannot reproduce a problem, we will not be able to reward it.</li></ul><p>In addition to severity, we may also consider factors like:</p><ul><li>Quality of description.</li></ul><p>We pay higher rewards for clear, well-written submissions.</p><ul><li>Quality of reproducibility.</li></ul><p>Please include test code, scripts, and detailed instructions. The easier it is for us to reproduce and verify the vulnerability, the higher the reward.</p><ul><li>Quality of fix, if included.</li></ul><p>We pay higher rewards for submissions with a clear description of how to fix the issue.</p><p>Give us time to investigate anything you report before sharing it publicly or with others, (and hopefully, this goes without saying) don't exploit an issue if you find one. Try wherever possible to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our service</p><p>Submission process</p><p>Please email securitybounty@gitcoin.co.</p></p>
