Primary Address

  • Primary address is a wallet account address owned by the Participant;

  • Participant Validator Operator Address (“Validator Operator Address”) is the validator operator address of the Participant specified in the Crossfire GitHub Repository;
  • Primary Node is the Validator Node the Participant has setup which fulfills all of the following conditions:
  • The Validator Node has the same validator operator address as Validator Operator Address of the Participant;
  • The Validator Node has  the same moniker as theNode Identity of the Participant throughout the whole competition; and
  • The Validator Node is created during Phase 1 of the competition
  • If the Validator Operator Address of the Participant has created multiple Validator Node during the competition, only the Validator Node that has fulfilled all of the above-stated conditions and with the latest join time is considered to be the Primary Node of the Participant;
  • A validator node may be removed from Crossfire network on different scenarios, including by not limited to when node is unbonded, or the node has committed Byzantine Fault.
  • If a validator node is removed from the Crossfire network, the consensus node address of the removed validator node may not be re-used. Participant may have to create a new Validator Node. The new Validator Node created by the Participant may become the new Primary Node of the Participant.
  • By default Validator Operator Address will be the address derived from the Participant Default Primary Address; andFor details of different address types, please refer to https://chain.crypto.com/docs/chain-details/chain-id.html#address-prefix


Task Details

Entry Level Tasks

CRO Reward

$200 equivalent of CRO

2.  Keep Your Validator Up

Period

Phase 2

Description and CRO Reward Condition

CRO Reward

$800 equivalent of CRO

*Up Time in this Phase is calculated by total number of commitments provided by the Primary Node during Phase 2 divided by the total number of blocks during Phase 2

Transaction Jackpot

Four jackpots are created based on the total number of successful transactions on the network in the valid periods (“Jackpot Transaction Valid Period”) according to the tiers below (individually, a “Jackpot”).

Network Attack Sharing

Period

Phase 3

Description

During Phase 3, Participants are encouraged to launch attacks, as permitted by these Official Rules and Terms. These could be colluding with others to censor players’ abilities to participate in consensus or exploit other validators who have misconfigured their setup.

1. High-level description of the attack

2. Impact of the attack to network or validators or individuals

3. Detailed description of the attack, showing evidence on where it can be observed.


Example

https://github.com/ethereum/public-attacknets/issues/12 

CRO Reward Condition

Create an issue on Crypto.com Chain GitHub (https://www.github.com/chain-main) (“Issue”). Prefix the Issue name with “ATTACK-REWARD-{ATTACK_NAME}”. The content of the Issue should cover point 1-3 in the description.


The write-up is evaluated by the Company and valid attacks with clear details may be awarded with CRO Reward. The Company reserves the right to decide if the attack write-up is valid and fulfils the requirements.

CRO Reward

A total of $50,000 equivalent of CRO Reward may be awarded to Participants depending on the severity and validness of attacks reported. The CRO Rewards amount is determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

Most Valuable Participants

During the Competition, each Task carries a different score. Top 10 Participants ranked from the highest score may be awarded with CRO Rewards:

  • Second runner-up: $1,500 equivalent of CRO
  • 4th - 10th place: $500 equivalent of CRO each

**In the event of multiple Participants having the same Score, Participants are ranked based on their Primary Node Join Time. The earlier the Primary Node is joined, the higher rank the Participant will be.

***Primary Node Join Time is determined by the block time of the block that contains the Primary Node Join Message. Primary Node Join Message is the Crypto.com Chain transaction message `MsgCreateValidator` which initiates the joining of the Primary Node on the network.

****In the event of multiple Participants having the same score and same Primary Node join time, both the Participants are awarded with the CRO Rewards and the remaining CRO Rewards of each tier remain unchanged.

e.g. If two Participants have the same highest score and same Primary Node join time, both the Participants are awarded with Champion CRO Rewards and the Participant at the 3rd place may get the First runner-up CRO Rewards.

Reward Conditions

  • Any and all CRO Rewards will be subject to a lock up period of 1 year, during which the CRO Rewards may not be used for any purpose except for staking in the Crypto.com ecosystem during the 1 year period.
