Bug Bounty Program
Leverage the global security research community to find what audits miss.
Get a quoteA managed bug bounty program that connects your protocol with vetted white-hat researchers worldwide — incentivising responsible disclosure and providing continuous vulnerability discovery beyond the point-in-time audit.
No audit, however thorough, can guarantee that every vulnerability has been found. Bug bounty programs provide a continuous, incentive-driven layer of security research by engaging the global community of white-hat hackers. Deep Guard manages the full lifecycle of your bug bounty program: program design, researcher vetting, finding triage, payout management, and coordinated disclosure — so your team receives only actionable, validated reports.
Our process, step by step.
Every engagement follows a structured methodology. No steps are skipped. No shortcuts are taken.
Program Design
We design a bounty program scoped precisely to your protocol's risk surface — defining in-scope contracts and systems, severity tiers, reward structures, and submission requirements calibrated to attract serious researchers.
Scope and Rules
Clear, unambiguous rules of engagement are established: what constitutes a valid finding, what is explicitly out of scope, how submissions are evaluated, and what disclosure timeline applies.
Researcher Vetting
Deep Guard screens and onboards researchers to the program, prioritising verified security professionals with demonstrated track records in blockchain security.
Triage and Validation
Every submission is triaged by a Deep Guard engineer who validates exploitability, assesses severity, eliminates duplicates, and communicates clearly with the submitting researcher.
Payout and Disclosure
Validated findings trigger structured payouts and coordinated disclosure — ensuring researchers are rewarded promptly, your team has time to remediate, and findings are published responsibly.
Continuous vulnerability discovery
Ongoing researcher coverage that extends your security posture beyond the point-in-time audit — indefinitely.
Validated, actionable reports
Your team receives only triaged, confirmed vulnerabilities — no noise, no invalid submissions, no duplicates.
Researcher network access
Access to Deep Guard's curated network of verified white-hat blockchain security researchers.
Coordinated disclosure management
Responsible disclosure processes that protect your protocol's reputation while rewarding researchers fairly.
