Immunefi

mission

Immunefi exists to protect the future of money.

current challenges

In 2020 alone, hacks and scams cost the Web3 community over $238m, and bug bounties can prevent those hacks from happening. Bug bounty programs surface vulnerabilities so they can be fixed before they get exploited in malicious hacks that destroy projects and ruin reputations.

Immunefi is doing for DeFi what companies like PayPal, Stripe, and Shopify have done for online shopping: removing security risk and making high-quality decentralized financial products safe for the average person. We help prevent hacks to make DeFi safe for everyone. 

culture & values

• Be ethical
• Be respectful and considerate
• Be professional
• Be patient
• Be privacy conscious

history

In early 2020, Mitchell Amador was hiking in the Swiss alps, and while trudging through the snow, he received a notification on his phone that another crypto project had just been hacked. In that brief moment, hackers stole millions of users’ funds. The news of this hack was an emotional hit because he had major investments in smart contracts.

He came to the conclusion that something was deeply wrong with security in DeFi, and there was no one who could help him. He didn’t feel safe about his investments and realized no one else did either.

The talent necessary to solve this problem existed in the community, but there was nothing pulling it all together, and hackers had no incentive themselves to protect projects. There had to be something new to bring everyone together to help make the community safe. And that’s when Immunefi, the bug bounty platform focused on smart contracts, was born.
