## Introduction

When vulnerabilities are reported, they undergo a validation process by the Bypassec team before their final statuses are updated. Only vulnerabilities marked as Valid or Duplicate are eligible for rewards. Payments are processed by Bypassec via PayPal within 10 business days after the end of the competition. 

## Payment Settings

To receive payments, users must complete all requested information in the payment tab within their profile settings.
