This article provides guidelines for writing effective vulnerability reports. It emphasizes the importance of clearly highlighting the vulnerability, providing a detailed breakdown, explaining the potential impact, including a coded Proof of Concept (POC), and offering straightforward mitigation recommendations. Following these guidelines may increase the chances of the report being labeled as 'selected for report' and potentially increase rewards.

The introduction of Code4rena Bot Races resulted in a significant impact on finding distribution. The percentage of medium severity vulnerabilities increased from 23% to 36%, while high severity vulnerabilities increased from 12% to 26%. This led to a reduction in submission clutter and an increase in prize pool distribution to unique and high-quality vulnerabilities.
