what's HackenProof?

HackenProof is a crowdsourced bug bounty platform tailored for Web3 and crypto projects. It enables projects to launch bug bounty programs, smart contract audits contests, and vulnerability disclosure initiatives, connecting them with a global community of ethical hackers and security researchers. Participants hunt for vulnerabilities in smart contracts, web apps, mobile apps, and infrastructure, earning rewards for valid submissions. The platform operates by allowing crypto teams to set bounty scopes, reward pools, and rules, while researchers submit findings through a structured triage process handled by the HackenProof team. It emphasizes live programs for ongoing security and fixed contests for specific audits, fostering a secure ecosystem for DeFi, NFTs, blockchains, and exchanges. Integrations with tools like Immunefi and direct project partnerships enhance its role in proactive cybersecurity for the crypto industry.
