what's hacken?
Hacken is a blockchain security and auditing company providing smart contract audits, bug bounty programs, and compliance solutions. The project operates multiple platforms including HackenProof (security bug bounty platform), Extractor (real-time compliance monitoring tool for regulations like DORA, MiCA, and ADGM), and Trust Army (community-driven DYOR research program). The native token $HAI can be staked into stHAI, which provides holders with early access to private sales of vetted projects, with tokens being burned if project pools aren't filled on time. The Trust Army program allows users to earn $HAI while learning research skills and discovering emerging Web3 projects. Hacken has audited various projects including SilentSwap (with Certik), Cipher, and provides security services through partnerships with Sui Network via their Security Expansion Program. The company maintains an active presence at major industry events including Token2049, Korea Blockchain Week, and CoinFerenceX, where team members discuss Web3 security challenges. Featured in September media coverage by Cointelegraph, Cryptodotnews, DecryptMedia, and TCR_news, Hacken emphasizes the importance of comprehensive security roadmaps beyond manual code reviews. The project has mobile applications available on both App Store and Google Play, and maintains a Discord community for collaborative project research with specific guidelines against duplicate investigations.
