+# Security
+
+Ensuring the security of the Flow Protocol is our utmost priority. We have dedicated significant efforts towards the
+design and testing of the protocol to guarantee its safety and reliability. However, we are aware that security is a
+continuous process.
+
+## Bug Bounty
+
+### Overview
+
+Starting on Dec 1, 2024, the [sablier-labs/flow](https://github.com/sablier-labs/flow) repository is subject to the
+Sablier Bug Bounty (the "Program") to incentivize responsible bug disclosure.
+
+We are limiting the scope of the Program to critical and high severity bugs, and are offering a reward of up to
+$100,000. Happy hunting!
+
+### Scope
+
+The scope of the Program is limited to bugs that result in the draining of funds locked up in contracts.
+
+The Program does NOT cover the following:
+
+- Code located in the [tests](./tests), [precompiles](./precompiles) and [script](./script) directories.
+- External code in `node_modules`, except for code that is explicitly used by a deployed contract located in the
+  [src](./src) directory.
+- Contract deployments on test networks, such as Sepolia.
+- Bugs in third-party contracts or platforms interacting with Sablier Flow.
+- Previously reported or discovered vulnerabilities in contracts built by third parties on Sablier Flow.
+- Bugs that have already been reported.
+
+Vulnerabilities contingent upon the occurrence of any of the following also are outside the scope of this Program:
+
+- Front-end bugs (clickjacking etc.)
+- DDoS attacks
+- Spamming
+- Phishing
+- Social engineering attacks
+- Private key leaks
+- Automated tools (Github Actions, etc.)
+- Compromise or misuse of third party systems or services
+
+### Assumptions
+
+Flow has been developed with a number of technical assumptions in mind. For a disclosure to qualify as a vulnerability,
+it must adhere to the following assumptions:
+
+- The total supply of any ERC-20 token remains below 2<sup>128</sup> - 1, i.e., `type(uint128).max`.
+- The `transfer` and `transferFrom` methods of any ERC-20 token strictly reduce the sender's balance by the transfer
+  amount and increase the recipient's balance by the same amount. In other words, tokens that charge fees on transfers
+  are not supported.
+- An address' ERC-20 balance can only change as a result of a `transfer` call by the sender or a `transferFrom` call by
+  an approved address. This excludes rebase tokens and interest-bearing tokens.
+- The token contract does not allow callbacks (e.g. ERC-777 is not supported).
+- As explained in [Technical Documentation](https://github.com/sablier-labs/flow/blob/main/TECHNICAL-DOC.md), there
+  could be delays in streamed amounts if `rps` is extremely small. The definition of "extremely small rps" is subjective
+  and depends on the token decimals and its dollar value. For example, a streams of USDC less than 50 USDC per month
+  would be considered to have extremely small `rps`, but for WBTC, it would be defined as a value that streams less than
+  0.001 WBTC a month. Any `rps` value that takes more than 1 second to stream 1 unit of token is also considered
+  extremely small.
+
+### Rewards
+
+Rewards will be allocated based on the severity of the bug disclosed and will be evaluated and rewarded at the
+discretion of the Sablier Labs team. For critical bugs that lead to any loss of user funds, rewards of up to $100,000
+will be granted. Lower severity bugs will be rewarded at the discretion of the team.
+
+### Disclosure
+
+Any vulnerability or bug discovered must be reported only to the following email:
+[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
+
+The vulnerability must not be disclosed publicly or to any other person, entity or email address before Sablier Labs has
+been notified, has fixed the issue, and has granted permission for public disclosure. In addition, disclosure must be
+made within 24 hours following discovery of the vulnerability.
+
+A detailed report of a vulnerability increases the likelihood of a reward and may increase the reward amount. Please
+provide as much information about the vulnerability as possible, including:
+
+- The conditions on which reproducing the bug is contingent.
+- The steps needed to reproduce the bug or, preferably, a proof of concept.
+- The potential implications of the vulnerability being abused.
+
+Anyone who reports a unique, previously-unreported vulnerability that results in a change to the code or a configuration
+change and who keeps such vulnerability confidential until it has been resolved by our engineers will be recognized
+publicly for their contribution if they so choose.
+
+### Eligibility
+
+To qualify for a reward under this Program, you must adhere to the following criteria:
+
+- Identify a previously unreported, non-public vulnerability that could result in the loss of any ERC-20 asset in
+  Sablier Flow (but not on any third-party platform interacting with Sablier Flow) and that is within the scope of this
+  Program.
+- The vulnerability must be distinct from the issues covered in the [Audits](https://github.com/sablier-labs/audits).
+- Be the first to report the unique vulnerability to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) in accordance
+  with the disclosure requirements specified above. If multiple similar vulnerabilities are reported within a 24-hour
+  timeframe, rewards will be split at the discretion of Sablier Labs.
+- Provide sufficient information to enable our engineers to reproduce and fix the vulnerability.
+- Not engage in any unlawful conduct when disclosing the bug, including through threats, demands, or any other coercive
+  tactics.
+- Avoid exploiting the vulnerability in any manner, such as making it public or profiting from it (aside from the reward
+  offered under this Program).
+- Make a genuine effort to prevent privacy violations, data destruction, and any interruption or degradation of Sablier
+  Flow.
+- Submit only one vulnerability per submission, unless chaining vulnerabilities is necessary to demonstrate the impact
+  of any of them.
+- Do not submit a vulnerability that stems from an underlying issue for which a reward has already been paid under this
+  Program.
+- You must not be a current or former employee, vendor, or contractor of Sablier Labs, or an employee of any of its
+  vendors or contractors.
+- You must not be subject to UK sanctions or reside in a UK-embargoed country.
+- Be at least 18 years old, or if younger, submit the vulnerability with the consent of a parent or guardian.
+
+### Other Terms
+
+By submitting your report, you grant Sablier Labs any and all rights, including intellectual property rights, needed to
+validate, mitigate, and disclose the vulnerability. All reward decisions, including eligibility for and amounts of the
+rewards and the manner in which such rewards will be paid, are made at our sole discretion.
+
+The terms and conditions of this Program may be altered at any time.
