Our community asked and we have answered! We are super excited for our dApp’s testnet launch & bugbounty programme, all set to go live on the 20th of December where users can report any discrepancies they find for a chance to win rewards of 100,000 USD worth of $CVR.

We are aiming to decentralize the insurance industry to provide ease of access to more audiences and also bring into play a common place where all your insurance — traditional as well as crypto — needs can be met.

Our users can whitelist themselves through the following form

Once you have whitelisted yourself, you will be receiving mock $CVR tokens to your ERC-20 wallet addresses so that you can access our testnet dApp and engage in all the services the app aims to offer, to ensure optimum utilization when our main net launches.

Once you have joined the channel, you can report any bugs you find on the bugbounty form that would be pinned within the telegram channel.

After you have interacted with the testnet dApp, in case you identify any critical flaws that require immediate action, you can simply report it via the bugbounty form with a detailed description of the bug you have found.

Our DevOps and Security teams will immediately have this diagnosed and will provide a solution to ensure that there are zero disparities when our main net launches.

Those who report a vulnerability will be eligible for a chance to win a reward of 100,000 USD worth of $CVR, based on the risk associated with the bug and its imperativeness.

You will be provided with a bugbounty form that would be pinned within the testnet telegram group, where you can fill in details of the bug you have discovered. You will be able to discuss the diagnosis, reward allocation and other details.

The severity of the bug is classified into the below-mentioned parameters:
