26-26: Ensure consistent naming throughout the document.The term "Labs" is used inconsistently in this section. It's referred to as "Synapse Labs" at the beginning of the sentence and just "Labs" at the end. For clarity and consistency, it's best to use the full name "Synapse Labs" throughout the document.
Consider updating the sentence as follows:
-For vulnerabilities in any of our websites, email servers, or other non-critical infrastructure, please email Synapse Labs at {_____}. We and Labs appreciate detailed instructions outlining the vulnerability. +For vulnerabilities in any of our websites, email servers, or other non-critical infrastructure, please email Synapse Labs at {_____}. We at Synapse Labs appreciate detailed instructions outlining the vulnerability.
30-30: Consider revising the phrase "any and all rights".The phrase "any and all rights" might be considered wordy. While it's a common legal phrase, it could be simplified for clarity.
Consider revising the sentence as follows:
-By submitting your report, you grant Synapse Labs any and all rights, including without limitation intellectual property rights, needed to validate, mitigate, and disclose the vulnerability. +By submitting your report, you grant Synapse Labs all rights, including intellectual property rights, needed to validate, mitigate, and disclose the vulnerability.🧰 Tools

Consider restructuring the Other Terms section for clarity.
While the terms covered in this section are comprehensive, the dense paragraph structure might make it difficult for readers to quickly grasp all the important points. Consider breaking this into bullet points or shorter paragraphs for improved readability.
Here's a suggested restructure:
## Other Terms
- All reward decisions, including eligibility, amounts, and payment methods, are made at the sole discretion of Synapse Labs. These decisions are final and binding.
- By submitting your report, you grant Synapse Labs all rights, including intellectual property rights, needed to validate, mitigate, and disclose the vulnerability.
- Synapse Labs reserves the right to alter the terms and conditions of the Program at any time.

| ## Overview | ||
|
|
||
| The security of Synapse Protocol is paramount. To standardize and encourage the discovery of bugs, the following outlines how to report bugs found in Synapse Protocol, sanguine, or any related code base. The program enables community members to submit reports of "bugs" or vulnerabilities for a chance to earn rewards. The program aims to incentivise responsible disclosure and enhance the security of Synapse Protocol. | ||

| Bounties are allocated on an ad hoc basis, and depend on the legitimacy, risk level, and other variables. | ||

Consider providing more details about the bounty program.
The overview effectively introduces the security policy. However, the statement about bounty allocation (line 7) is quite vague. To encourage participation, consider providing more specific information about the bounty program, such as potential reward ranges or factors that influence the reward amount.
You could add a sentence like:
+Rewards typically range from $X to $Y, depending on the severity and impact of the reported vulnerability.Committable suggestion was skipped due to low confidence.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Consider adding information about the response process.
While the reporting methods are clear, it would be helpful to include information about what reporters can expect after submitting a vulnerability. This could include expected response times and an overview of the process that follows a report.
Consider adding a paragraph like:
+After submitting a report, you can expect an initial response within 24-48 hours. Our security team will then assess the report and may contact you for additional information if needed. We aim to resolve and disclose verified vulnerabilities within 90 days of the initial report.Committable suggestion was skipped due to low confidence.

Add responsible disclosure timeline and expectations
While the prohibited actions are clear, the section would benefit from including:
- Expected timeline for vulnerability assessment and fixes
- Coordinated disclosure process
- Guidelines for when public disclosure is appropriate
Add this section after line 23:
## Disclosure Timeline
- Initial Response: Within 24-48 hours
- Assessment: 3-5 business days
- Fix Development: Based on severity
- Critical: Up to 30 days
- High: Up to 60 days
- Medium/Low: Up to 90 days
- Coordinated Public Disclosure: After fix deployment and testing| All bug disclosures should be disclosed privately to a member of Synapse Labs. This can be done in the following ways: | ||

Enhance the security reporting channels
The current reporting channels (Discord and Telegram) may not provide adequate security for sensitive vulnerability reports. Consider:
- Adding PGP-encrypted email as a reporting option
- Providing specific contact handles/information for core team members
- Including a security.txt file reference
Add these secure communication channels:

Revise the non-critical vulnerabilities section
The section needs improvement in both content and grammar:
- Separate channels should be provided for non-critical issues
- Fix the grammatical error in "We and Labs"
Apply this correction:
-For vulnerabilities in any of our websites, email servers, or other non-critical infrastructure, please reach out through one of the channels above. We and Labs appreciate detailed instructions outlining the vulnerability.
+For vulnerabilities in any of our websites, email servers, or other non-critical infrastructure, please email [email protected]. Synapse Labs appreciates detailed instructions outlining the vulnerability. Please include:

+- Steps to reproduce
+- Potential impact
+- Suggested remediation (if any)📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
