The PrimeXBT development team is continuously working on new features and improvements, as well as dramatic changes to the award-winning trading platform and infrastructure.
In the coming months, PrimeXBT plans to introduce a new update to the trading platform. Ahead of the important new platform launch, we have prepared a Bug Bounty Contest with a significant prize pool of $100,000.
Here is everything you need to know about the $100,000 Bug Bounty Contest, including how to report bugs and participate for a chance to win a piece of the massive prize pool.
All About The $100,000 PrimeXBT Bug Bounty Contest
The Bug Bounty Contest includes a test drive of the new PrimeXBT platform planned for a launch in the next few months. Therefore, users can earn prizes for trading or finding minor or critical bugs.
The PrimeXBT $100,000 Bug Bounty Contest will be hosted in the Contests section of the PrimeXBT account dashboard. Risk-free virtual funds are offered to ensure that users can thoroughly test the new platform and its features – and increase the likelihood of encountering bugs.
Rewards for discovering and reporting bugs are much greater than what is awarded for trading. Reporting such bugs helps the PrimeXBT development team track down and remove issues that could hinder the user experience.
A massive $100,000 prize pool is dedicated to bugs, while a second $1,000 prize pool is up for grabs for the top ten traders to rank in the Contest will each receive $100.
The Bug Bounty Contest is designed for both traders who will utilize the platform as intended, as well as IT professionals with internet security experience who can help weed out any loopholes or security risks in the software.
