Centrifuge expands bug bounty program to cover V3.1 upgrade, offering $250K for critical findings
Centrifuge has expanded its bug bounty program to include its V3.1 upgrade, with a top payout of $250,000 for anyone who finds a critical vulnerability.
The updated program launched on July 17, 2025, through the Cantina platform.
The bounty structure
Critical findings earn up to $250,000. High-severity issues pay out $50,000. Medium-severity bugs net researchers $5,000.
The program does come with some scope limitations worth noting. Reduced payouts apply for issues involving specific pool managers or cross-chain functionality.
To date, the bounty program has recorded 480 findings.
Why V3.1 matters
The V3.1 upgrade builds on Centrifuge’s V3 release, which went live in April 2025. That earlier version integrated with Wormhole to enable multichain operations.
Centrifuge also ran a separate security competition on the Sherlock platform with a prize pool of $320,000 USDC.
The protocol has since deployed a V3.2 upgrade on July 8, 2026, that introduced on-chain portfolio management features.
Centrifuge’s security track record
Centrifuge has reported zero exploits since launching on mainnet in 2019. The protocol has undergone more than 24 security reviews over that period.

The S&P 500 has experienced intraday fluctuations of less than 1% for 27 consecutive trading days, marking the longest period of low volatility since the pandemic. Goldman Sachs warns that this "calm" is the result of zero-day options strategies forcibly locking in the market, and once a catalyst emerges, the compressed volatility energy will be released all at once.

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.
