Vetted on both sides
CertiK carefully selects and approves both the programs and the researchers — no open submissions, no anonymous spam.
Find real bugs.
Get paid what they're worth.
A private, invite-only Web3 security network. CertiK reproduces and rates every finding independently — so severity isn't quietly negotiated down to dodge a payout. Protocols get findings they can act on, not a flooded inbox.

Submit report
01
Submit a Bug Report
Qualified security researchers identify vulnerabilities in participating projects and submit their reports through the platform.
02
Verification and Triaging
Each submission is independently reviewed by CertiK — including a severity assessment set by CertiK, not the protocol — and delivered to the project along with the researcher's original report.
03
Reward
Accepted findings are paid out under responsible disclosure. CertiK runs triage and payouts; the protocol ships the fix.
why certik hunt?
Built for signal, not noise
Real vulnerabilities. Real rewards.
Independent verification
Every submission undergoes an independent review by CertiK to validate the finding before it is shared with the project.
Confidential by default
Every submission is handled confidentially, with security and privacy maintained throughout the process.
