Bug Bounty Platform

Code4rena operates a continuous bug bounty platform where protocols can maintain ongoing security programs for live smart contracts. The platform provides persistent vulnerability discovery with bounties ranging from $25,000 to $250,000 in USDC based on severity and impact.

How It Works

Protocols establish bug bounty programs on Code4rena's platform where security researchers (Wardens) can continuously review live smart contracts for vulnerabilities. Unlike one-time audits, bug bounties provide ongoing security coverage as code evolves and new attack vectors emerge. Bounties are awarded for validated findings based on severity and impact, with transparent payout structures that attract serious security talent while providing protocols budget certainty.

Active Coverage Across Ecosystems

The platform hosts multiple active bug bounty programs across diverse blockchain ecosystems including:

• EVM/Solidity: Moonwell, Legion, Intuition
• Rust-based chains: Renegade, Succinct, GMX-Solana, Glow Finance
• THORChain: Rujira

Programs cover diverse protocol types including DeFi platforms, perpetual exchanges, dark pools, lending protocols, knowledge networks, and restaking infrastructure.
