Bug Bounties / Bans
Impactful bugs can damage the game ecosystem significantly and so we take them very seriously. Our policy utilizes the "carrot and the stick" approach where we reward players who report impactful bugs and punish players who exploit them. This page explains the bounties that are paid out to players that report impactful bugs and the consequences that are enacted on players who exploit them.
Bounty Requirements
In order to get credit for reporting the bug, you need to do the following...
Be the first to report the bug by sending a DM to @SamTheBay on Discord.
Please don't message exploitable bugs in the regular chat channels. This could disqualify you from receiving the bounty.
Provide enough information for the development team to reproduce the bug in game. Either detailed steps or a video showing it occurring.
Below is the description of how the severity of impactful bugs is measured...
| Severity | Description |
|---|---|
Critical | Any bug that could allow draining ENJ from one of the games wallets or obtaining gems without earning them or paying for them. |
High | A bug that allows progressing much faster than should be possible. For example, the ability to skip arena levels while still getting credit for them. |
Medium | A bug that allows progressing moderately faster than should be possible. For example, finding an unintended way to prevent your character from being affected by stun. |
Low | Bugs that impact gameplay but don't give any significant advantage for exploiting. They are still important to fix, but we don't provide a bounty. |
Ultimately the Etherscape team holds the final say on the severity that is assigned to a specific impactful bug.
Bounty Reward
The magnitude of the bounty is determined by the severity of the bug. Below is the reward based on the type of bug that is found...
| Severity | Reward |
|---|---|
Critical | 1000 ENJ |
High | 10000 Gems |
Medium | 2000 Gems |
Low | None |
Exploit Consequences
When impactful bugs are discovered, the game logs are mined to discover accounts that have been exploiting them. Similar to bounties, the consequences for exploits depend on the severity of the exploit used. Below is a description of the consequences...
