+# Security Policy
+
+## Introduction
+
+Security researchers are essential in identifying vulnerabilities that may impact the Comdex ecosystem. If you have discovered a security vulnerability in the Comdex chain or any repository managed by Comdex, we encourage you to notify us using one of the methods outlined below.
+
+### Guidelines for Responsible Vulnerability Testing and Reporting
+
+1. **Refrain from testing vulnerabilities on our publicly accessible environments**, including but not limited to:
+  - Comdex mainnet `comdex-1` 
+  - Comdex frontend
+  - Comdex public testnets
+  - Comdex testnet frontend
+
+2. **Avoid reporting security vulnerabilities through public channels, including GitHub issues**
+
+To privately report a security vulnerability, please choose one of the following options:
+
+### 1. Email
+
+Send your detailed vulnerability report to `[email protected]`.
+
+### 2. GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting
+
+Utilize [GitHub's Private Vulnerability Reporting](https://github.com/comdex-official/comdex/security/advisories/new) for confidential disclosure.
+
+## Submit Vulnerability Report
+
+When reporting a vulnerability through either method, please include the following details to aid in our assessment:
+
+- Type of vulnerability
+- Description of the vulnerability
+- Steps to reproduce the issue
+- Impact of the issue
+- Explanation on how an attacker could exploit it
+
+## Vulnerability Disclosure Process
+
+1. **Initial Report**: Submit the vulnerability via one of the above channels.
+2. **Confirmation**: We will confirm receipt of your report within 48 hours.
+3. **Assessment**: Our security team will evaluate the vulnerability and inform you of its severity and the estimated time frame for resolution.
+4. **Resolution**: Once fixed, you will be contacted to verify the solution.
+5. **Public Disclosure**: Details of the vulnerability may be publicly disclosed after ensuring it poses no further risk.
+
+During the vulnerability disclosure process, we ask security researchers to keep vulnerabilities and communications around vulnerability submissions private and confidential until a patch is developed. Should a security issue require a network upgrade, additional time may be needed to raise a governance proposal and complete the upgrade.
+
+During this time:
+
+- Avoid exploiting any vulnerabilities you discover.
+- Demonstrate good faith by not disrupting or degrading Comdex's services.
+
+## Feature request
+
+For a feature request, e.g. module inclusion, please make a GitHub issue. Clearly state your use case and what value it will bring to other users or developers on comdex.
+
+## Severity Characterization
+
+| Severity     | Description                                                             |
+|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **CRITICAL** | Immediate threat to critical systems (e.g., chain halts, funds at risk) |
+| **HIGH**     | Significant impact on major functionality                               |
+| **MEDIUM**   | Impacts minor features or exposes non-sensitive data                    |
+| **LOW**      | Minimal impact                                                          |
+
+## Bug Bounty
+
+Though we don't have an official bug bounty program, we generally offer rewards to security researchers who responsibly disclose vulnerabilities to us. Bounties are generally awarded for vulnerabilities classified as **high** or **critical** severity. Bounty amounts will be determined during the disclosure process, after the severity has been assessed.
+
+> [!WARNING] 
+> Targeting our production environments will disqualify you from receiving any bounty.
