Safe Harbor Eligibility Checklist

Use this checklist to evaluate whether adopting the SEAL Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement makes sense for your protocol.

❓Can Safe Harbor Help Your Protocol?

• Do you hold user funds in smart contracts? Without Safe Harbor, whitehats who could save your users' funds might hesitate to act due to legal uncertainty around unauthorized access.
• Do you want whitehats to help during active attacks? Safe Harbor gives ethical hackers legal protection to intervene immediately, before attackers can drain your protocol.
• Do you already have a bug bounty or security disclosure program? Safe Harbor fills the critical gap your bug bounty can't cover - live attacks happening right now when disclosure timelines don't matter.
• Do you want to increase the odds of recovering funds? Safe Harbor encourages rescue attempts by trusted whitehats.

If you checked any of the above - you can benefit from adopting our Safe Harbor.

🎯 What Does Adoption Involve?

1. Define your scope (what’s covered, where funds go, bounty %, etc.)
2. (If DAO) Pass a governance proposal
3. Register on-chain
4. Update your Terms of Service and documentation
5. Make a public announcement to inform users and whitehats

It’s fast, flexible (DAO or non-DAO), and aligns with industry standards.
