+# Security Policy
+
+Quantus Network takes the security of our users seriously and welcomes reports
+from security researchers.
+
+## Reporting a vulnerability
+
+**Please do not open a public issue, pull request, or social-media post for a
+security vulnerability.** Public disclosure before a fix is available puts
+users' funds at risk. Use one of the private channels below and we will
+coordinate a fix and disclosure with you.
+
+1. **GitHub private security advisory (preferred).**
+   [Report a vulnerability](https://github.com/quantus-network/quantus-miner/security/advisories/new).
+   This gives you a private, structured thread with the maintainers and is the
+   fastest way to reach us.
+2. **Email.** Send details to **security@quantus.com**.
+
+### What to include
+
+- A clear description of the issue and its security impact.
+- A working proof of concept is required. It must run directly against this
+  project, using a release build or locally built version, and demonstrate the
+  reported behavior and security impact. Standalone code, mathematical
+  examples, or simulations that only reproduce the theory without exercising
+  the project do not satisfy this requirement.
+- Step-by-step reproduction instructions.
+- Affected platforms and versions.
+- Any relevant logs, addresses, or transaction IDs (for on-chain issues).
+
+If you used AI tooling to find or write up the report, please say so.
+
+## Our commitment (safe harbor)
+
+We consider security research conducted in good faith under this policy to be
+authorized. We will not pursue or support legal action against researchers who:
+
+- make a good-faith effort to avoid privacy violations, data destruction, and
+  interruption or degradation of our services;
+- only interact with accounts they own or have explicit permission to access;
+  and
+- give us a reasonable opportunity to fix an issue before disclosing it
+  publicly.
+
+If in doubt about whether an action is authorized, ask us first at
+security@quantus.com.
+
+## What to expect
+
+- **Acknowledgement:** within **2 business days**.
+- **Triage and initial assessment:** within **7 business days**.
+- **Coordinated disclosure:** we aim to ship a fix and coordinate public
+  disclosure within **90 days** of the report. We will keep you updated on
+  progress and agree on a disclosure date with you.
+- **Credit:** with your permission, we are happy to publicly credit you for the
+  report once a fix is released.
+
+## Scope
+
+**In scope:** the external mining service (CPU and GPU) in this repository — anything that could lead to theft or misattribution of mining rewards, invalid blocks being produced, or remote code execution or crash via its service API.
+
+**Out of scope:** issues in third-party services or nodes we do not operate;
+reports generated solely by automated scanners without a demonstrated impact;
+low-severity or informational issues on our marketing and landing websites;
+and social-engineering or physical attacks.
+
+## Rewards
+
+At our **sole discretion**, we may offer a reward for a valid report. To be
+eligible, a report must be submitted **privately** through one of the channels
+above and identify a genuine vulnerability with real impact on users. Trivial
+or low-impact findings, automated-scanner output without a working proof of
+concept, and already-known issues are **not** eligible. There is no fixed
+bounty and no guaranteed payout; whether a report qualifies, and any amount,
+are determined solely by Quantus Network.
+
+## Supported versions
+
+Only the latest release is supported; security fixes are delivered in new
+versions. Please keep your installation up to date.
