 We require that all researchers:
 
 * Use the bug bounty to disclose all vulnerabilities, and avoid posting vulnerability information in public places, including Github Issues, Discord channels, and Telegram groups
 * Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems (including but not limited to the Cosmos Hub), and destruction of data
-* Keep any information about vulnerabilities that you’ve discovered confidential between yourself and the Tendermint Core engineering team until the issue has been resolved and disclosed 
+* Keep any information about vulnerabilities that you’ve discovered confidential between yourself and the Tendermint Core engineering team until the issue has been resolved and disclosed
 * Avoid posting personally identifiable information, privately or publicly
 
 If you follow these guidelines when reporting an issue to us, we commit to:
 
 * Not pursue or support any legal action related to your research on this vulnerability
-* Work with you to understand, resolve and ultimately disclose the issue in a timely fashion

-## Disclosure Process 
+## Disclosure Process
 
 Tendermint Core uses the following disclosure process:
 
-1. Once a security report is received, the Tendermint Core team works to verify the issue and confirm its severity level using CVSS. 
-2. The Tendermint Core team collaborates with the Gaia team to determine the vulnerability’s potential impact on the Cosmos Hub. 
-3. Patches are prepared for eligible releases of Tendermint in private repositories. See “Supported Releases” below for more information on which releases are considered eligible. 
-4. If it is determined that a CVE-ID is required, we request a CVE through a CVE Numbering Authority.

+4. If it is determined that a CVE-ID is required, we request a CVE through a CVE Numbering Authority.
 5. We notify the community that a security release is coming, to give users time to prepare their systems for the update. Notifications can include forum posts, tweets, and emails to partners and validators, including emails sent to the [Tendermint Security Mailing List](https://berlin.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=431b35421ff7edcc77df5df10&id=3fe93307bc).
-6. 24 hours following this notification, the fixes are applied publicly and new releases are issued. 
-7. Cosmos SDK and Gaia update their Tendermint Core dependencies to use these releases, and then themselves issue new releases. 
-8. Once releases are available for Tendermint Core, Cosmos SDK and Gaia, we notify the community, again, through the same channels as above. We also publish a Security Advisory on Github and publish the CVE, as long as neither the Security Advisory nor the CVE include any information on how to exploit these vulnerabilities beyond what information is already available in the patch itself. 
-9. Once the community is notified, we will pay out any relevant bug bounties to submitters. 
-10. One week after the releases go out, we will publish a post with further details on the vulnerability as well as our response to it.

-This process can take some time. Every effort will be made to handle the bug in as timely a manner as possible, however it's important that we follow the process described above to ensure that disclosures are handled consistently and to keep Tendermint Core and its downstream dependent projects--including but not limited to Gaia and the Cosmos Hub--as secure as possible.
