Bug Bounty Program update 🪲
The allocation for Bug Bounty rewards has now been fully committed. As a result, we’re currently unable to offer additional monetary rewards for new submissions while next steps for the program are considered.
Security reports remain important and can still be submitted through the usual channels. Every report submitted is still carefully reviewed and triaged by our team of volunteers, helping ensure potential issues can be identified and addressed.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the program and continues to help strengthen the security of the ecosystem.
Did you know? Hydra github.com/cardano-scaling/h… is available under the Maintainer Retainer Program. I know Hydra is in quite a few things that we rely upon today. Be sure to apply, if you’ve got the chops, within the next week!

Here is a wild ask, with ~16.5 hours remaining…
DReps, Please allow the OSC to continue forward with implementing the Paid Open Source Model for a consecutive year. If it pleases everyone, we’d be happy to work with @IntersectMBO as an administrator, to submit Info Actions by program or holistically once all has been published against 2025 Treasury Withdrawal spend.
There has been some great feedback from DReps, even though our answers may not have directly addresssed every concern, we are confident that we have put forth our willingness to adapt and listen. Thanks in advance for any and all consideration!

What are we leaving on the table when choosing not to fund the Open Source Committee? Magic like this doesn't come about.

Hey DReps! Can we do a pulse check for OSC? (Paid Open Source Model - Continued)
We’ve had some great feedback and questions for a few of you, we joined @coc_space and answered some other questions. Unfortunately, there isn’t any change, and no additional feedback for us (OSC) to address.
If there is anything that we can share, please let us know! We are hopeful to have an opportunity to complete Year 1 and roll into Year 2 to demonstrate the intended perpetual nature of these programs. Thank you for your candor and more importantly, your participation!

Hello DReps and Cardano Community,
The OSC has worked tirelessly over the weekend and today to present responses to feedback for our 'Paid Open Source Model - Continue' 2026+ Treasury Proposal. We invite additional feedback and remain ready for discussion.
Check out the Proposal and Comments: hydra-voting.intersectmbo.or…
Meet with us on Friday in the @coc_space!
DReps have asked, the OSC delivers. A Draft version of Milestones that would apply to 'Paid Open Source Model - Continued' have been added to the OSC GitBook page.
opensourcecommittee.docs.int…
We encourage DRep and Community review of the proposed Milestones. As they are still in draft, they are subject to change based on actionable feedback and continued program delivery with Treasury funding awarded in 2025.
Confirmed! The Open Source Committee will join @coc_space this Friday June 5th, at 2pm UTC. Please bring your questions and feedback. Be sure to keep an eye on our posts throughout the week as we update our resources and respond to Hydra/Ekklesia Commentary.
