For protocols

CertiK Hunt
for serious protocols

A private network for vetted researchers, serious protocols, and independent verification. CertiK reproduces findings and sets severity before protocol review.

Backed by CertiK: 5,181 projects secured, $500B+ assessed since 2018.

why certik hunt

What changes when your
program runs on CertiK Hunt

A clean inbox
Your team only sees real, reproduced findings. Spam, duplicates, and out-of-scope reports never reach you.
Privatefilter metrics stay internal
The right researchers
Programs are surfaced to invited researchers whose prior work matches your surface: bridges, perps, oracles, ZK, and lending markets.
Inviteaccess approved per program
Independent verification
A CertiK expert reproduces each finding, checks duplicates, and sets severity independently of the protocol before review.
Prioritycritical findings first
Disclosure on your terms
Report details stay confidential and scoped to triage. Public disclosure stays aggregate-only until coordinated disclosure is approved.

Verified findings

Verified findings reach one accountable owner with severity, duplicate checks, and disclosure status already documented.

engagement formats

Three formats, one network

The same vetted researchers work across all three. Protocol intake today is for private bug bounty programs — the other two are how the network builds and proves the people who will eventually look at your code.

Running now

Security challenges

Focused, time-boxed investigations CertiK runs to test judgment and technique. They are how researchers earn their way onto the network and prove what they can do before they ever see your scope.

CertiK-run — not commissioned by protocols.
In development

Audit contests

Time-bound competitive review of a fixed codebase, with the whole qualified field looking at once. Useful ahead of a launch or a major upgrade, when you want depth in a narrow window.

Not yet open for protocol intake.

Private bug bounty programs

Continuous coverage of your live surface by invited researchers whose prior work matches your stack. CertiK reproduces every submission and sets severity before it reaches you.

This is what the form below onboards.
operations

Two triage modes

Two ways CertiK runs your program. Researchers always see one private intake path; you choose how much CertiK handles before findings reach your team.

01
Standard triage
Streamlined verification
CertiK reproduces each report, screens duplicates, and sets severity independently of the protocol. You see verified findings instead of raw intake noise.
Independent severity
Duplicate + scope screening
Private invited intake
Coordinated disclosure
Most chosen
02
Fully managed
CertiK runs it end to end
A named CertiK expert owns every report end to end — reproduction, severity, the protocol relay, and reward status — so your team only sees confirmed, costed findings.

Share enough context for CertiK to route the conversation and recommend the right triage mode.

  • Inquiries stay private to CertiK. Reports are encrypted AES-256 at rest.
  • Time-sensitive launches can be routed to your CertiK contact.
  • Audited and non-audited protocols welcome.
