Immunefi

Established in 2020 by Mitchell Amador, Immunefi is a bug bounty platform focused on web3Web3 and smart contract security in the web3Web3 safety industrtyindustry. The patformplatform provides bug bounty hosting, consultation, and program management services to blockchain and smart contract projects.

The Bugbug bounty programs are open invitations to security researchers and white hat hackers to discover and disclose vulnerabilities in projects’ smart contracts and applications. For their work, security researchers get incentives dependent on the severity of the vulnerability. Immunefi is used in projects like Synthetix, Chainlink, SushiSwap, MakerDAO, Wormhole, GMX, Alchemix, and Nexus Mutual, and others.

After clients fill out a bug bounty onboarding form, they getreceive a questionnaire, and a bug bounty program is drafted based on answers to the questions. The draft goes to clients for review. Following modifications, Immunefi’s launch specialist works with the project’s marketing team to determine the launch time, bounty, and bounty, as well as PR/marketing details.

What is blockchain? What are smart contracts? How do smart contracts work? What kinds of vulnerabilities exist in smart contracts, and most importantly, how do you find them?

This is an introductory guide and an external resources page (v0.1) for learning about the basics of blockchain, smart contracts, and smart contract security on a more conceptual level. The goal is to provide a launching pad for hackers, researchers, devs, and companies to quickly get up to speed on the technology, so they can start hunting for bugs and collecting bounties. Since the field is changing by the day, this guide will be updated regularly. Resources that expand on the various topics are available at the bottom of the page. If you have feedback or would like to help contribute, please send an email to team@immunefi.com.

The fundamental idea of Blockchain is that it functions as a public, decentralized database that records transactions, which are chained together as blocks, in a permanent way. There are different kinds of blockchains on the market, and Bitcoin and Ethereum are two of the most important. The most relevant blockchain to us is Ethereum, since that’s the blockchain which virtually all smart contracts and distributed applications (DApps) use, so that’s what we’ll focus on here.

A smart contract is a self-executing contract, where the terms are written in code. As smart contract inventor Nick Szabo defined the concept in a 1996 whitepaper, “A smart contract is a computerized transaction protocol that executes the terms of a contract. The general objectives of smart contract design are to satisfy common contractual conditions (such as payment terms, liens, confidentiality, and even enforcement), minimize exceptions both malicious and accidental, and minimize the need for trusted intermediaries.”

101 Blockchains has a helpful reference graphic and article which explains what smart contracts are, how they work, what the benefits are, and what they might be used for.

Immunefi launched on December 9, 2020, as a bug bounty platform focused on Web3 and smart contract security. We provide bug bounty hosting, consultation, bug triaging, and program management services to blockchain and smart contract projects.

Bug bounty programs are open invitations to security researchers to discover and disclose potential vulnerabilities in projects’ smart contracts and applications, thereby protecting projects and their users. For their good work, security researchers receive a reward based on the severity of the vulnerability, as determined by the project affected.

Why have a bug bounty program at all? 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.
