Triage Guidelines
Who Are the Triagers?
Triagers are our Glider experts - experienced evaluators who ensure every submission is fairly and accurately reviewed. They are deeply familiar with the Glider engine and are responsible for maintaining the quality, safety, and integrity of all contest submissions.
⚙️ How Triage Works
Once you submit your entry to the Glider Contest, the triage process begins to evaluate and classify your submission.
Step-by-Step Flow
Contributing a Query to the Contest You can contribute your Glider query to the contest once it produces valid and meaningful results.
Contributing means sharing your discovery with the Remedy triage team for evaluation and potential rewards.
Before submitting, make sure your query runs successfully and demonstrates a real finding - not just theoretical logic.
Submission Received
When you submit, a dedicated thread is automatically opened with a triager. All discussions, clarifications, and updates regarding your submission will happen there.
Initial Review
The triager inspects your submission for correctness, clarity, and alignment with Glider’s contest goals. During this stage, they may provide feedback or request additional information.
Final Outcome
Once the review is complete, the triager assigns a status and, if applicable, an evaluation rating (see below).
Submission Statuses
Pending
Submission is awaiting review.
You can still edit or update it.
In Review
A triager is currently reviewing your submission.
Editing is disabled during this phase.
Approved
The submission is valid and accepted.
Celebrate! 🎉
Rejected
The submission does not meet contest or technical criteria.
You may resubmit if rules allow.
Outdated
The submission is no longer relevant
Check newer Glider query version.
On Halt
Triager is rechecking the query
Wait for an update from the triager.
🧩 Contribution Type
Each submission must indicate its Contribution Type, helping triagers evaluate your intent and contribution scope:
New Query
Introduces a new vector — a completely new Glider query designed to detect a previously uncovered issue or pattern.
Optimization
Enhances an existing query to make it safer, fresher, and more effective. Optimizations should detect more real issues while reducing false positives.
Evaluation Criteria
Once a submission is confirmed during the triage stage, the Remedy triager also provides a detailed assessment across several parameters.
This evaluation determines the rarity and value of the submission.
Risk Likelihood
Likelihood of the vulnerability being exploited
Query Potential
Dynamic score that updates when the query finds new hits. At publication, it equals Initial Damage.
Risk Impact
Vulnerability impact, e.g. informational, low, medium, high, critical.
Initial Damage
Estimated financial damage that exploitation of vulnerable contracts found by the query could have caused at the time of contribution.
Remedy Opinion
An average ranking of the opinions of Remedy triage team
Each parameter is typically rated on a 1–5 scale, and the overall profile of these ratings determines the rarity of the query:
Rarity Formula: 0,25 * Query Potential + 0,2 * (Risk Likelihood+Risk Impact+Initial Damage) + 0,15 *Remedy Opinion.
Uncommon
1.00–1.99
Possible bug severity: Low, Informational
Up to $50
Rare
2.00–2.94
Possible bug severity: Medium (Or real word Low)
Up to $400
Epic
2.95–4.49
Possible bug severity: Critical, High (Or real word Medium+)
Up to $700
Legendary
≥4.50
Real-world high or critical findings
Up to $2000
🧭 Tips for Participants
Clearly specify your Contribution Type - it helps triagers evaluate faster and more accurately.
Keep your submission concise, well-documented, and reproducible.
Watch for updates during the Pending phase; once it moves to In Review, you can no longer edit.
Remember: triagers are your allies — their feedback is aimed at strengthening your query and your standing in the contest.
