About STRIPS

STRIPS allows traders to trade interest rates in DeFi easily. Traders on STRIPS can long or short interest rates across a variety of interest rate protocols using a virtual automated market maker (vAMM) model for liquidity. Whitepaper

In finance, interest rate swaps account for $400 trillion of daily traded volume, representing over 80% of the world’s total derivatives volume. Interest rates touch on nearly every financial product in traditional markets.

Still, unlike traditional finance, the tools to wield them in decentralized finance (DeFi) have yet to be developed or meaningfully deployed in the market.

STRIPS aims to solve this by allowing traders to easily trade interest rates using a derivative instrument called an interest rate swap. Interest rate swaps pay the difference between a floating rate and a fixed rate and allow traders to express directional views on interest rates in a flexible, capital-efficient way. Interest rate swaps are a tool for traders to express directional views in both bull and bear markets. STRIPS will be looking to launch on Arbitrum.

Submission Criteria

⚠️ Submit your hackathon findings to this form.

Rewards

Rewards will be given out pro-rata according to a points formula:

Critical severity (6-10 score) pot size = $25,000 
Medium severity (3-5 score) pot size = $10,000 
Low severity (1-2 score) pot size = $5,000  

Points = Severity score * (0.8^Report Counts) / Report Counts 
Reward = Pot size * Points / Total Points

Criteria

• If you can find anything similarly severe which is not mentioned in examples: your severity score will be 10 out of 10
• If you can achieve anything mentioned in the hacking examples below: you will get a severity score of 8 out of 10
• If you can find technical issues such as overflow and underflow: your severity score is likely to be 5 out of 10
• If you can find minor issues such as missing modifiers: your severity score is likely to be 2 out of 10
• Strips will remain the authority to assign the severity score and categorize similar findings into the same report counts. We promise to take 100% seriousness when we review your reports.

Important

➡️ Turn in your reports before the contest end time (12 December 12:00 UTC) in this form. ANY REPORTS AFTER THIS TIME WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

➡️ Be sure to fill in your handle and ETH address to receive your share.

➡️ Publicly disclosing any discovered bugs or vulnerabilities is grounds for disqualification.
