+# PrivacyLayer Bug Bounty Program
+
+## Overview
+
+PrivacyLayer invites security researchers to find vulnerabilities in our privacy pool smart contracts and infrastructure. We reward responsible disclosure with bounties proportional to severity.
+

+| Merkle Tree Implementation | `contracts/privacy_pool/src/crypto/merkle.rs` | Critical |
+| Groth16 Verifier | `contracts/privacy_pool/src/crypto/verifier.rs` | Critical |
+| Deposit/Withdraw Logic | `contracts/privacy_pool/src/core/` | High |
+| Deployment Scripts | `scripts/` | Medium |
+
+### Out of Scope
+- Known issues listed in GitHub Issues
+- Theoretical attacks with no practical exploit path
+- Social engineering or phishing
+- Denial of service attacks on public infrastructure
+- Issues in third-party dependencies (report upstream)

+| **Medium** | $250 - $1,000 | Admin key escalation, griefing attacks, DoS on contract |
+| **Low** | $50 - $250 | Gas optimization issues, minor logic errors, informational findings |
+

+### Step 1: Discover
+Find a vulnerability in the in-scope components.
+
+### Step 2: Document
+Create a detailed report including:
+- **Title**: One-line description
+- **Severity**: Your assessment (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
+- **Description**: What the vulnerability is
+- **Steps to Reproduce**: Minimal steps or PoC code
+- **Impact**: What an attacker could achieve
+- **Suggested Fix**: Optional but appreciated
+
+### Step 3: Submit
+- **Email**: security@privacylayer.xyz (preferred for Critical/High)
+- **GitHub**: Open a **private security advisory** on this repository
+- **Do NOT** open a public issue for Critical or High severity bugs
+
+### Step 4: Response Timeline
+
+| Stage | Timeline |
+|-------|----------|
+| Acknowledgment | Within 24 hours |
+| Initial Assessment | Within 3 business days |
+| Fix Development | Within 14 days (Critical), 30 days (others) |
+| Bounty Payment | Within 7 days of fix deployment |
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **No exploitation**: Do not exploit vulnerabilities on mainnet or testnet beyond what's needed to demonstrate the bug
+2. **Responsible disclosure**: Give us reasonable time to fix before public disclosure (90 days)
+3. **One submission per bug**: Duplicate reports are not eligible
+4. **First come, first served**: The first valid report of a vulnerability receives the bounty
+5. **Legal safe harbor**: We will not pursue legal action against researchers who follow these rules
+
+## Platform Setup
+
+We recommend using [Immunefi](https://immunefi.com) for structured bounty submissions. Our Immunefi program page will be linked here once live.
